Yes, I remember that. Strange program. Katt (not Katz) was the son of a TV eye candy original, Barbara Hale (Della Street on Perry Mason). And Perry Mason had one of the most memorable themes (no words that I know of) in TV history (beaten no doubt by Hawaii Five-O). It sounds like a chunk of Gershwin's Concerto in F to me. (No words to that one, either!)

As to hamsters being light and airy things compared to muskrats, I beg to differ, or at least add an exception to that rule. My daughter is caring for* a hamster of some variety for a friend whose mother is afraid of small furry mice-like objects. This little thing lives in a terrarium of sorts on a bookshelf in my daughter's dark bedroom at her father's house. My two cats would not be good companions, so it stays over there. It must be a very lonely, depressed, dark hamster--I don't think it even gets much light from the window. This sounds like a creature who will need drugs or psychotherapy if he is ever moved back to his original home.

SRS

*one begins to think that a complete transfer has actually happened, but I hope not, because I hate to think of this little critter being warehoused on a bookshelf all by itself with no external stimulation of any sort.
