Thanks everyone. I am happy to be back. I know it had been waaaaay too long.

Twink I am happy to hear that Rizzo and Barliman are doing well. Give them both a scartch for me. I like MN too and it is a very nice place, I lived there until I was about 5 or 6 and we always went back for visits after that. I even worked on a farm up by Little Falls for a few summers in my early teens. However, it is a little too hot and humid for me now. I have been spoiled by Seattle weather. However, I still enjoy going back.

T&P I think you may be right about Joey. Since I posted she has come out of the closet and has been hanging out with me in the family room. Yesterday she spent most of the day in the closet. I think I got the brush at Fred Myers, that is one of the local department stores. However, I believe that I have seen them at petco or petsmart too. I will find the name and PM you. Bob and Joey both like it for a good face brushing. Bob won't walk through it, but Joey will every now and then.

Welcome to CatMama78 and DJFyrewolf36! I think I have seen some of your post, when I was able to take a quick peek a while back. Anyway, I know it is late, but I am happy that you are here.
