Re: OT.. cat post

Speaking of cats...thanks to all those who put my husband's baby kitty in their prayers. He is doing so much better. I think he's made a FULL recovery. He now runs everywhere instead of walking and likes to "sneak attack" on us all the time. And he is so loveable. Ya know...I think he knows we saved him.

What a shame you don't get to enjoy the company of cats....on the other hand
mine have been bugging me all day. It's hard to get anything done with a
cat in your lap or myowing at you, or walking in front of you. Don't know
what has gotten into them.
