Almost makes me wish Stephan was a "cat person". But, that would be bad
for the leather sofa and easy chair. One of the reasons I got the leather
furniture was to stop me from becoming a "crazy cat guy". I really like
cats .... mostly bacause of their independence and self care. Unlike a
dog. And they're not, generally, as noisy.  Bv)=

Plus they really help keep the rodent population down. They'll even do
in a tree rat or two if they're "outside" cats.
