Fri, Aug 28 2009 Mister Ron's Basement #1430 W. L. Alden had a long career writing wacky stories, but he especially had a knack for churning out tales about cats!

This one is a scream! Time: approx twenty minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The W. L.
