Both kids are home from college, it's suddenly hard to get near the computer. I ordered DSL for my office computer though, so that should help, when I get it running.
No longer have a cat, had one many years ago, it was always hungry in the morning, if it bit your big toe, that meant it wanted bacon, one of its personal (catal ?) favorites. Although, I guess "person" is an accurate description of our pets.
Yes, this thread has become a surprisingly comfortable place to hang out.
My cat has food all the time in his bowl... He self-feeds... I do have to get up once or twice in the night to let him in/out, but I can do his in my sleep... I barely remember it. My Labrador sometimes needs to go make his rounds in the night, which is a bother, because I have to wait up ten minutes for him to return. He is an old dog and cannot be rushed in these things.
