Thank you, ube. I have some good news, i found my cat. He was sleeping on the neighbor's driveway. He has now been fed and cosseted ! If he would just stay upstairs, but on the positive side, as long as he can make it over the fence he's doing ok. I was just about to hire jnct14 to be my private eye and have her go find him. I have so many blessings, and sometimes i get too tired to count them, and i forget they are there . Thanks all for reminding me!
