And it's good for cats to have a buddy cat, especially if there isn't somebody home most of the day. They get lonely. PS -- buy your cat food at Kroger before you end up with a menagerie.

One, for something as monumental as that concert and that album, there's something special about holding an original pressing, not to mention the CD isn't edited when he says "we're recording this for a live album so I'm not supposed to say words like Hell or Shit" (exact words I don't recall)- the album bleeps the words out. Hearing it on CD without the words bleeped out wasn't quite as fun. The bleeping of the words puts you back in that time period. Second, the full concert has too much fluff. I didn't find the songs that were missing from the album to be too exciting; the album catches the moment better, I think. With that said, the extensive liner notes are worth the cost of the CD. Back to Kitty Talk- the two cats have been playing hide and seek with each other all day, checking each other out with both hissing at appropriate moments. It's fun to watch them try to figure each other out.

He was royally pissed. Now it's all one big lovefest. Also P.I. caught an hour-long documentary on CBU this afternoon: Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison. I have a feeling you'd like it.

You did a great and noble thing... adopting from a local Animal Shelter. I used to volunteer at PAWS, and was appalled at the sheer volume of cats and dogs they have to euthanize every WEEK because of irresponsible pet owners. You have played a small role in helping to resolve this problem. When I adopted my little Pekingese, Sofie, from PAWS, I decided she should be an ambassador for Pet adoption. If anyone ever comments on how cute or sweet she is (which is often) I use it as an opportunity to promote pet adoption as part of a solution. I encourage all families who have adopted homeless pets to do likewise. Congratulations on the newest member of your family. You did a great and noble thing… adopting from a local Animal Shelter.

All we were doing was picking up some dry food for cat #1 at PetsMart when we saw this really cute and shy little thing curled up in the corner of her cage. She was a darling and came from the same shelter as #1, Friends of Strays in Princeton. I had no intention of adopting a cat. Heck, I didn’t even want to go to the store. The next thing I knew we were filling out some paperwork and… No, and I knew I’d get this question.
