I still hold by the definition of "people" that does not include cats.

Blast, no disrespect to Oz, but I'm not a big fan.

Causes me no end of grief with the DW/DD coalition, but I was actually relieved when one of the "outside kitties" expired.

I'm not a cold person, I paid to have this kitty spayed (& her offspring neutered) , kept her fed, warm in the winter, fed her kids and kept them the same; but, we have our own beloved pets.

It's oft been said that dogs have owners, and cats have staff...I am not a staff person, I guess.

Current Pet-O-Phile: 2 inside cats (one from northern Cali and one from okie land), dog (breed: attention hound), fish (multiple varieties), and a rat named "hamster".

didn't mean to ramble...but I guess I do miss Mau.
