    Lost cat from Lafayette, Indiana, PLEASE help!

    I posted him on the Lost and Found page back on the 8th and finally on Craigslist also. Had one sighting and a close look-alike. Is it possible he might try to make his way back to my old apartment on the other side of town?

    Cheerios?

    Ok, my parents mentioned that regular ole Cheerios cereal is a good alternative to pet treats. Everything I seem to know about cats seems to contradict this statement. What are your thoughts on the idea?

    People not from the US, how do you celebrate your country?

    Finland - December 6 Finnish Independence Day is a solemn day, more of a vigil in respect to the fallen of the many wars that have been fought there. The flag is flown and candles are lit in cemeteries. Very low key and somber. A day of rememberance and respect.

    Anyone else get emotional on the 4th of July?

    Having spent time abroad, I realize the importance of the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the all the wars (however popular or unpopular) they might have been.
