Smokey the elder, OK on the Otis adoption. I wouldn't trade him for anything. I enjoy his maturity and patience, which is somethint that none of my other furkids seem to posess. It could be their ages -all are less that 2 years old.

Speaking of hoarding cats, did you all see on Animal Planet in Detroit, Mich. where this man allowed cats to multiply under his house. The "animal cops" stated that they got 247 cats out from there. Of course they were all living in filthy conditions, and all of them were feral. What a sad situation for all those kitties. I often wonder if any of them could be domesticated, if someone had the time to work with them?
