Can I call you Marie-Rie? My husbands (geesh I'm going to get confused here, but a daughter from his dad's 3rd wifes side) is knicknamed Rie-Rie too). Your furfamily is adorable, and as others have said..we adore your mom! She's made many special siggys for the many special needs kitties residing here. And she's also not only partial to our wonderful Magoo, but also Kirby, Georgie, Eli....she has lots of favorites. Annie is adorable, and though sirrahbed missed what I posted about kittens sired by feral tom cats...that's probably exactly what happened with Annie! I too have bottle fed newborns and despite the round the clock nurturing, they have remained aloof. I posted under Sirrahbed's post titled "Ice Princess Lizzie", about an article I read some years back done by a major vet college. Check it out! Nice to have you onboard, and I adore Sparky too! Looks part Border Collie/ lab? Jan
