I am with my friend jen on this one as they do seem to come in waves. pouncer was in 1984 , Mr Scrappy 1985 , Buster in 1988 , then Princess in 1993 , then I bought the house in 1994 , then came BoBo , Rb smokey , sam and diane in 1996 , Pecious in 1997 , Joseph in 1996 . The rest came in the years after 2000 , with Tom being one of three cats Rascal , Roscoe being the others that I have adopted in the last Year, I just wish that I had kept a written record. My God I just realized just how ols some of the residents are!But Ilove older Cats , just flat out love them!
