I'd like to hear how she's working out for you. I'm looking at getting my first ever cat, and I'd like to see how things go with yours.
Again, TB,
congrats; I'm very happy for you

First off, to cod: Yeah, "no dogs allowed," but that restriction may be changing soon. In the event of that happening, I'll have a cat and dog as well, no question.
Mort: It's been amazing, and again, I'm grateful. Adopted at the age of 8, Izzy doesn't scratch either us or the furniture, plays like a kitten when she's in the mood, and is easily one of the sweetest creatures I've yet to know, flopping on her back for a rub and purring constantly like a motorboat. Cripes, she doesn't even have the slightest litter box smell, which is sort of a miracle in and of itself.
I'd post another photo but I don't wanna come off like the old ladies you see at the dog run with the cocker spaniels on their sweaters, but allow me this: I don't know what we've done to have two pets that have been so incredibly amazing one after the other, but the past 20 year period has been a revelation for me. In the past, I could take animals or leave them; now, I can't imagine life without them. Blame the missus.
