[Slings and Arrows]

So I'm thinking about maybe getting an Abyssinian-breed cat, or some other cat (NOT hairless!) to which Mrs F. isn't allergic. Suggestions are welcome.

That's your cue, people.

I agree. My first kitty (Norman/Norma, the transsexual attack cat) was a stray kitten my secretary found outside her home. My second (Betty) came from a farm with two mama cats and too many kittens. I took her because Norman needed some company, and she probably would have ended up at the pound if I hadn't. Neither kitty has a pedigree, but they both have great personalities and are wonderful companions.
