    Wow, I can't believe some of that stuff happened that long ago. . . The Cat with the corn on the cob seems so long ago! Charley was my absolute favourite. The story was so sweet it made me want a Charley of my own.

    Heres to another year of neat posts, and cool cats. Cheers!

    The cat playing the piano is the most precious thing I have ever seen! I am a cat lover and my cats do some pretty funny things but this beats them all.
