You probably already know this, deb, but there's a book called "How to Massaage Your Cat", saw it at a store a few days ago and immediately thought of S and V and mom. It's by Alice Brock, apparently the Alice of "Alice's Restaurant", Arlo Guthrie's iconic hippie anthem, if that ever made it to Australia. That's what she's been doing since the restaurant closed.
Googled "cat massage" and came up with
