Thanks for the info.....I guess you can never be too informed, huh?

As for Elvis, when I found him in the Taco Bell dumpster he was so ragged and dirty that we all assumed he was an old guy. To make determining his age even more difficult he had a jaw malformation and only about 5 teeth.

As he became a healthy house cat the years seemed to melt off him, like he'd found the fountain of youth! In the last couple of years he's started to age a little and I'm guessing he was no more than 2-3 years when I got him and I've had him for 7 years now.

Wow, that was a long answer to a question, huh?
