Re: Oh my Goodness!
Why thank you Wendy! This morning, Miss Ursula decided to come from behind the couch and have her breakfast. Percy hasn't taken his face outta his bowl since I set it down. Pappy (papillon) is still riding "rough shot", hissing at the poor dear child.. Lillian was "miffed" because Percy slept in HER bed last night. Lola has accepted him, even tho she thinks that he's a big ga-loot! Susan J.

Re: Oh my Goodness! AKAS Update on Percy
Ahhh, thanks Glenda for the kind words of encouragement. So far,everything is pretty quiet @ Chez Mew. "Percy" is used to having lots of cats around (remember, he had 184 roommates@ one time) so he is walking up to the other cats and meowing @ them. They acknowledge him by "thumping" him on the noggle:( He moves to the next cat.."Meow" "thump"...".thump,thump". He is getting "punch drunk", but being a very good sport about it. Susan J.
