Welcome! I'm from the Chicago area also - Burr Ridge to be exact (Southwest suburb). Jaxon is adorable and looks like he already knows he's king of the house.

I had to have my Tubby boy PTS in December - he was 18 1/2 and old. Put I've still got my little sweety pie Peanut and the newest addition, Cracker Jack. All three are in my siggy and avatar.

Almost 2 years ago now I rescued a cat off the streets. I work on North Ave and this cat was hanging out on the tenant's porch. Edwina's Secretary adopted the kitty and named him Eddie. Jaxon reminds me of Eddie with the white face and chest and little pink nosie. Eddie now lives happily with Edwina's Secretary, Curly and Edwina herself in sometimes sunny LA.
