Thanks! We think he is cute too. It's the only thing that keeps him in the good graces at times, especially when he is in full, active, puppy mode.
With all due respect to the VK's I can't say that I am overly fond of cats myself. My mom keeps a gaggle of them around, but I'm much happier with a good dog.
I don't hate cats per se. It's just that my parents almost always owned cats and I had a few bad experience, including a few scratches. :). Everyone in the family disliked them except my Mom. I'm not very fond of cats, but DOGS and birds, I love them, especially dogs, as they're my favorite pets.
