Why do I get the feeling she got to keep the cat after the guys at work saw the ad and mercilessly ribbed her husband over it. :biggrin: :smile:

This woman has a such a great sense of humor that I'd be tempted to call and ask if I could take her and the cat.

Excellent point. Of course with cats, if they want to get the man out of the picture, they just make it look like an accident. :devil:

That reminds me, I highly recommend the short story, "The Sin of Madame Phloi" by Lillian Jackson Braun.
