Thanks for that clarification.....after 10 months of taking care of every need of my 6, I still can't touch them! (Hey, at least they don't run and hide from me any more.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 10:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Is there a list for feral lovers?
