Hey Leonard, our posts crossed. Thank you for your thoughtful comments! I'm so sorry you lost Seyah this year. I can relate as I lost my baby this year too (she's my avatar).

Update - I talked to the shelter today and visited him again. The counselor assured me that he is in no danger of being put down and is considered highly adoptable. So I feel much better about his future. I think we are almost the right match but not 100%. To give him some PR and marketing, I...

Hi All - I've gotten so much helpful information over the past several years from different web sites, including The Cat Site, and I finally decided to de-lurk! I shared my life with two cats over the 90s and 00s. They were my constant companions through a variety of roommates, boyfriends, jobs...
