My sister in Port Charlotte is going to be shopping for a new roof and a new garage. Lots of damage and debris in her neighborhood. But she and all hands are safe (they were in Miami seeing some friends) and are out of harm's way. I know for a fact that her 4 cats are safe because she never goes anywhere without them.

I'm reserving my pity for myself and my cat - I'm going to be getting new houseguests (sis and her traveling menagerie) for a month or two until her place is back up to snuff :)

Thank you for the lightening up this tragic day - menagerie - LOL.

Being a person owned by cats myself, I can empathize with what you are facing. A cat who is used to being the only kitty suddenly having to share can make life miserable for all. Hopefully they already know each other.

I had a vet actually prescribe Elevil to a Bombay who wouldn't play nice with the others [didn't work]. What was more effective was to bell the 'mean' cat so that the others at least knew he was coming.

Glad to hear the your sister's losses are only property. LOL to the menagerie. We evac'd yesterday, spending the day with combined pets including 6 cats, 4 dogs, and a pot belly pig.

Local report Arcadia: Bringing in the search dogs. WalMart distribution center destroyed. Thousands of buildings, both commercial and residential destroyed.
