Welcome to PT ILoveMyAbbyGirl! I know you'll love it here, and we'd all love to hear stories of your pets!!! Snails...now that's a new one! LOL

P.S. I hear ya about the snails in the yard. They make me go YIKES! I have sooooooooo many of them in my yard

I have no snails currently, but in my pre-teen years (waaaaaay back when) I was obsessed with the search for the left-whorled* snail. There was a scientist who was trying to breed a bunch of l.w.'ers (99.99+% of snails are right-whorled) and I sooo wanted to find a l.w. one to participate, too. Nowadays I don't even remember what the point of it was...

Never even spotted one (did get a reputation for excentricity that never quite went away, though ) Am I correct in assuming that all of yours are right whorlers?

Since I've become more active in gardening, I'm rather anti-snail lately. Don't mind hearing about them, but bristle when they approach my herbs and flowers.

I have two cats: Lady Olivia d'Flufferuni "Livvy" was born on 11 Apr 1999 and appears to be all brown tabby Maine Coon (she's part Siamese, but it doesn't show).
Perspicacity Purrsonality "Cassy" is my silver swirl tabby boy who was born on 11 Jul 1999.

* Left-whorled, if I remember correctly, spiral counterclockwise. Right-whorled are clockwise spiraled.
