Ps. After spending allmost 2 hours answering the questions (and eating a melon and some chocolate and drinking tea) I pushed submit to find out I wasn't logged in anymore and I thought I would have to start all over again, but managed to go back and copy all the answers, luckily, because when I logged in again, I could not access it anymore!
I need to update my hints list since I have a new member of the fur family.
This big guy hung around outside for several weeks introducing himself through the screen door, and then just invited himself in. Of course, he didn't realize he was also inviting himself to a vet visit for all kinds of shots and stuff.
Hercules is a big red mackerel tabby, probably about 5 years old. By big I mean 15.5 pounds of solid muscle. He's more than twice the size of my little Goldy, who is also a red mackerel tabby. He's the biggest luvbug you'll ever meet. I don't know about treats, but he loves to eat. He goes crazy over the larger sized stuffed mice toys.

Every time it gets close to the completion date on her house, the contractor extends it for several more weeks. We're now at mid-December, so who knows. lol
