RE: Percy

Is that when you named him Spike? :-) Or did he just live up to it.
Mine fall off the coffee table regularly but that's because I

walk on the paper but suddenly there's no table under it. You'd think
after a while they would stop walking on the paper.

I had a cat named Spike who used to walk the edge of the clawfoot

Fell in with me one day.
