Hehehe...

I have said I would never be without a cat, & other people have said it of me too, but have been without one for over 6 months now (though have moved 'house' TWICE in that time.

Its just that my 1st ever cat was also the one I had most recently (having had 3 others in the intervening time as well as him) & to get new cats (though I'll do it eventually) doesnt seem quite right yet. (& the other cat simply went missing during 1st house move, so he is not likely to have died).
