Savannah is a great looking cat, Althea. Yeah...cats kinda like me, too.
I was a cat hater at one time. I was never cruel to them, but I thought anyone who had a cat was a jerk. Then, during my construction worker days, a kitten decided he wanted to be my pal. Just kept coming over to me...stuck around. The owner of the house we were repairing noticed it...and after we finished the job he called me. He owned a big German shepherd that was being harassed by the kitten. (He was a very feisty kitten who did not like dogs.) Asked me to take him before the kitten scratched the dog's eyes out...which I decided to do. Fell in love with him. His name was Cat...although he sometimes signed notes as Kat! Cat managed to get his picture published in the New York Times...front page of the second section above the fold!

Hello Phantasmal,
Reminds me of a strange time. I was doing a day-long drive with my old dad. He liked to have sandwiches for a drive like that and find a rest area to enjoy them. And he always wanted a beer with his sandwich. So I drove after lunch. And not long after lunch he developed a problem. His lips began to swell like crazy. We weren't sure what had happened but my theory is it must have been something on the can exterior. Maybe they had been stored in the garage and perhaps some bug spray used? We never found out. We were pretty scared at first, not knowing what to do. I said we should find an ER. He said no. (He hated hospitals and medical people.) I said OK, but if his condition worsened, that's where we were going. After a while it was apparent the swollen lips were the only problem. So we drove on.
But he had difficulty talking in that condition. And it was hard for me to understand what he was trying to say. We drove on in silence.
Then I had an idea I thought might take the edge off the tension.
I asked him if he would do me a favor.
He said what.
I said: "Will you please say 'You wascowy wabbit?'"
He didn't find any humor in it (at all) and refused.
Oh well. I tried.
Or should I say ...
'wefused...'

I should add that from that day on I will not drink a beer from a can unless the top has been wiped clean.

Wow...a celebrity cat!
Everyone dislikes cats, until they get one. It takes a very cold person to be able to ignore a purring kitten.
I think what everyone miscalculates about cats, is how they seem to think that you exist to serve them. Most people find that amusing.
Acceptable, but amusing.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
