~~~my primary non-rhetorical question would be.... how many cats does she own? ~~~

Getting RATHER personal, aren't you? These non-rhetorical questions are SO hard! :-)

Actually....we owned one cat, Alexander. He died 2 weeks ago from kidney failure.

Alexander deigned to grace us with his presence for over 11 years---after showing up on our doorstep as a skinny 6 mo. old kitten. Not wanting a cat, I put a dish of milk on the deck and left for work. I came home to find him gone. HOORAH!

About an hour later there came a knock on the door. Here were 2 teenage girls, carrying this scrawny kitten. They were VERY apologetic that while taking a walk, OUR cat had followed them home so they were returning him.

The rest is history.

i'm so sorry to hear that. pets become so much a part of your family... condolences.

anything meatlike goes to our dogs. anything fishlike goes to the cats. i've never cooked canned clams... but gabz' recipe looks like a project for me and my girl (she needs to cook us something for a girl scout patch... and we have a fryer). hmmm.

a little supervision, a little taste testing. a little more taste testing.

I'm sorry you lost your alexander. Losing a pet is always hard.

All I can say about the story of acquiring him.......


BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
