Oooooooh, Joe, I love that you love cats too. My little lady was named Lulu, my grandkids all hated her; she lived and moved with us from TX to TN to NC and back to TN--18 years. Brings tears to my eyes right now from missing her--even though we do have another "kinda calico" now, named Patticake and my grandkids hate her too. They have asked me what I do to my cats to make them not like kids.....I'll answer the question on collected and ages of machines that I own some other time.
