PCB let me tell you about the best part about helping my daughter do her paper run, it is meeting all the kitties in my neighbourhood, and believe me there are plenty, I have a special girl, she is a tabby persian, she is incredibly sweet, she runs to meet me and is so smoochy, she is not that well taken care of , she is quite thin under her bushy coat and they just cut out knots in her coat, I feel like stealing her, but I wouldn't, she is a real sweetheart, sometimes I don't see her for two weeks or so, and I get worried, but she alway turns up there to greet me, she is a darling.

Saturday mornings are an early start for us, but we spend a good 15 mins of our time patting all kitties, much to their delight, we have at least ten kitties that we adore, oneday I will borrow my dad's camera and take pics for you all to see.

So yes I understand exactly what you are saying and PCB I truely hope you become a kitty mother oneday soon, that is gonna be one lucky kitty.
