I can't help but jump in. I'm catching up on FR during my lunch. I've enjoyed beyond words the political savvy of so many on FR. Come to find out so many are cat & dog parents too. We are kindred on all levels. All my cats and dogs are rescues. My crew:

Sammy Annie - 7 yrs.
Oreo - 6 yrs. (Owie, once you get to know him *O*)
Cody - 5 yrs. (Codester)
Bacci - 5 yrs. Cody and Bacci were rescued from the same wall but not brothers...
Sushi - 4 yrs.
Panama - 4 yrs. These two are actual brothers..another wall.
Aja - 2 yrs. on 11/1/05 - aka: Waijemeister : D

Aja was the size of my hand when I found him under my house. He was ferrule and I had to earn his trust over a 2 month period. I crawled under the house on my belly to feed him in zero & below zero temps changing the water twice a day; it always froze. He is georgeous, well they all are, all light Gray short hair with beautiful soft green eyes. His fur is like velvet.

Hobbs - 14 yrs. Doberman - He is amazing for such an old hound. Dobbies are the best breed. So darn smart and great with kids. Raw chicken diet is probably why he is so healthy. Don't worry they can eat raw, the bones are soft. Never feed an animal cooked bones. Raw soup bones are great too and keeps their teeth white.

Barney - 7 yrs. Beagle - found him on the parkway when he was a baby. Probably abandoned by hunters. He is the sunshine.

Another thought, not only do active Military leave behind their families but their beloved pets too. : (

Yep - you have animals plural all right..:)

We are down to one cat who looks very much like the one in Reply #45 by Fudd Fan, only his hair ia a bit longer.

Nearly all my cats have been rejects, drop-offs, gotta have a new home, etc...I swear in North Carolina in our house in the woods, there was a sign only homeless kitties could read that said "CAT SHELTER UP THE HILL!"
