Who do you think my first 2 passengers will be? Having a hard time finding tiny sunglasses though.

Pops, there's a reason animals come into our lives, through whatever means. You and your son should take the sign for what it is and give this little guy the kind of home he deserves, not risk sending him off to someone who he didn't "pick".

I know Bob, but being that Dan and I both have two each, it is just impossible. As much as I would love to keep her (finally checked : it's a she) ) I can't. We have even thought of friends or relatives, but can't think of anyone. In any event, she is going to be better off than the certain death she was facing if Dan had left home a few seconds later. She would have never made it through one light change.

I am typing this with one hand because she is sleeping on my lap now and is using my one arm for a pillow. I'm going to do my best to find her a good home.

We found this little guy on our front porch one evening about 6 1/2 years ago. He was lost and yowling his heart out. We already had two cats, so I was skeptical about adding another, but, fortunately, the older two adjusted to him pretty quickly. Now he is a 19 pound behemoth. Luckily, he is the gentlest-natured cat I've ever seen. With his huge size, he could be dangerous if he was aggressive...

Hey don ill trade you one of my dogs for the cat

Hotroddaddy,
I never would have taken you for a cat person.

Personnally im a fish person, if it were up to me i would have a fishtank in every room, I dont mind cats or dogs, but im to selfcentered to take the extra time to care for them, so i choose not to have them, unfortunatly the wife and kids dont feel the same , so we have 2 dogs and four cats. but in her defence, she had the cats first, they stay outside though so theyre not bad, but the dogs are a real pain, let me know if you want one.

Don, sure wish you lived closer. That little female looks like a really great cat. I wouldn't mind replacing my lost one. I let Tigger out on tax day 2005 and he never came home. I figure either one of the stray dogs or coyote got him. Tigger roamed a lot.

If I get another cat, I will probably make it just a house cat and never let it out, cause your really miss them when they disappear.

hotroddaddy: Super offer, but dogs are too much work......gotta walk them, etc. Cats, you just put food and a litter box out, and you're set.

Duane: Sorry to hear about your cat. The other two have been housecats all their lives, except one time Scooter (the fat one) escaped. We posted signs, walked the neighborhood, etc. I thought she was gone forever. Day later I hear a thump on the door, and she was back, but I don't think she came by herself. It was pouring rain, and she was bone dry. I thinik someone took her in, then discovered how much she ate, and brought her back. (I claim her at the end of the year as a dependant. )

Damn IRS guy's will eat anything!!!

They are ruthless! I wasn't aware that they could take your animals, they would have gotten three rascal dogs this year instead of money!!!!

Oh oh. The talks are now starting to lean toward "maybe another cat wouldn't be so bad !" Dan is thinking that someone else adopting Lucky would be a crap shoot as far as how good of a home she would get. It's still not 100 percent, but it's at least in discussions.

Easy for him to say, I'm the one who has become a full time baby sitter. I forgot how much attention these little things want.

Don

Sounds like you raised that boy right Scrooge..............................

BTW, you've seen pics of my little guy who started out with hair about that length. As he nears a year old he's stayed what I'd call a medium length hair cat. We have a daily ritual, he jumps up on my lap in the early evening and gives me that "hey.......it's time for my brushing" look. Apparently he likes it............

Oh yeah Bob, they love to be brushed. Everytime I do mine they fight over who gets it the most. I usually have to take them outside to do it, because I get enough hair to build another cat or two.

The pictures you posted of yours are really cute.

Don

Don, I know what you mean about one more want hurt. While I was married I couldn't get rid of any because the wife made pets out of all them (3 dogs, 6 cats, and 200 horses) Man I was never so happy to get that divorce out of the way. I kept 1 dog, 1 cat and 5 horses, she kept the other dogs and cats. We sold the rest of the horse. They steal your heart with their big sorry eyes.
