Thanks Catty1! I think he is very handsome too. I've had him for 11 years. I tried to attach his picture as my avator but it didn't work for some reason.
I'll check out that website you suggested regarding funds. Thanks for that.
I think I will go ahead and buy the filter because my other cat Jimmy who has asthma (he had asthma when I adopted him) would probably benefit from it. He is a really sweet cat and sadly was Charlie's best friend in the world. They were real pals and ate together and slept together and wrestled just about everyday. He is pretty lost right now. I've been giving him tons of affection but it's tough. Tiger is his number two guy which is another reason I've got to save him. I'm not sure Jimmy could lose two buddies in such a short time.
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who would try using a psychic! LOL I'll google the psychic Nancy and see what I can find out.
