Hi Jo Ann and Barb and all other pet lovers out there!! I was the one who sent the message to you both the other day about my cat Sparky (after reading yours) and I gave it the subject titled "bouncing cats" - it seems to have stuck. My question was ....do you really think it is the moon?? Any more thoughts on that??
