Thank you. His age is a mystery. At the shelter they thought he was 18 years old. But my vet evaluated him and thinks he is much younger. I do too, especially because he loves to chase me around and jump and play, and I have never known 18 year old cats who were that energetic.

He looked so pitiful when I brought him home - dirty and covered in mats, and so thin I could feel every bump on his spine. One of the volunteers thought he had been depressed and wasn't eating well or grooming himself. No wonder they thought he was elderly.

He is doing much, much better now with good food and some cleaning up. :)

That made my day o:)

Mine, too.

Duke was a shelter dog that was next in line to go the "kill shelter". He had been in the Humane Society shelter for 4 1/2 months before my wife started kicking her dog-adoption program into full gear. All because the animal control officer that picked him off the streets as a stray called him a pit-bull mix? He was so sweet and gentle that the assistant director at the shelter used to have the staff let him out in the exercise area with her two pre-school children so they could play together when there was some conflict with day-care and her job hours. She'd take the kids to work and let Duke entertain them.

Animal control officers and shelter staff don't know what these animals have been through, how old they are, or how they might respond to a loving stable environment.

Lots of love and good wishes for you and your new pal, MIH!

I had a hand held massager that had a setting that thumped you with rubber balls. My cat, Moose, LOVED that thing. As soon as she saw it, she'd come running and plop down ready for some action.

Meanwhile, Pebbles and Gizmo both have their own shelter, so they can mind their own business as they usually do. For some reason the fiancee of drizzle decided to move in with his sister:

Pebbles doesn't seem to care.
