Best wishes to you all. Jo Ann I can identify. I had a Maine Coon Cat who lived to be 20 before I had to have her put to sleep, and I have lost several others at the ages of 18 or 19 (I have been lucky with my kitties). Currently, we have six, and two of them are about to reach their 17th birthdays (they are siblings) and they are showing their age. As long as they are enjoying life, however, we will do our best to keep them with us. I got a phone call from a colleague in Houston this morning and I am assuming that the city is still "running". I am sorry to hear that there is so much destruction. Condolences, both regarding the floods and the kitty. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M.
