I utterly sympathize. I bought the cat without textures (all I could afford), thinking that at least I would get a sale price on SOME part of the package. Of course I cannot use the cat until I can afford the textures. It was a bit sad :-( But hey, people are starving somewhere, right? That is what I tell myself when I start to feel depressed. When I think about Michael 3 coming out, the words "I'm dancing as fast as I can" go through my head! Kimberly
