Joe, no worries. I've ammended 'animals' to read 'fungus' (although now I'll probably get hate mail from PETF [People for the Ethical Treatment of Fungus] or the Vegetable Firsters or something.) When I originally wrote "animals", I was thinking bacteria or worms, not higher animals! ;) FWIW, one of my dearest friends is also a cat, Isoroku, who is only 2 years old yet highly intelligent, very loving (especially for a large former male- 14 lbs.). We share a bond that is difficult to describe. He is supposed to be my daughter's cat but he prefers my company. Even my wife is amazed at the bond between us. He's my "little guy" and I prefer his company to many, many "humans". --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:
