GG: Hey, with 19 cats and 1 dog, you ARE an animal shelter. You own the dog, but the cats own you. At least that's the main difference between them as pets as experience has taught me. I love cats and dogs, both, but dogs love you back, cats tolerate you at best. (Cat lovers, don't think I'm choosing sides, I'm only joking: the only reason I don't have a cat now is that Baby (my cat's name) was a shared cat with my Mom and Dad when I lived in a trailer next door to them, and they would be sad without her. After Cujo gets a little more mature I'll be looking for a kitten to keep her company.) :^)

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
