moomsmom - I agree, I don't think a cure is any time soon and we can't really tell if Aricept is helping or not. He's been on it for a year and a half and he is progressively getting worse. On the other hand, he just turned 81 this summer so at least it didn't strike him at a younger age. I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL's husband. He is too young at 68.

Kater - I'm working on filling that fourth cat tree spot. I've got my eye on a little gray and white boy named Angus but my husband is holding me back right now. It may be time to pour on some tears - not hard to do when I think about all the homeless kitties.
