Spin, You are a handsome resilient cat, arent you? At eighteen, you have to be a bit tough and able to "go with the flow" and adapt to situations. It was lucky for you when your humans found you a long time ago with a hurt leg and took you to the vet. It sounds as if you really are boss of the house. From the writeup I can see that your folks love you very much and that you have a good life. I do hope you have many more years left. Congrats on being COTD! Kay in NC 11:04am
