He's just a CAT

For those that don't have a pet, who would ever believe just how attached you can get. Just a few days more than a year ago, Spanky was a pound cat. When we brought him home and gave him a new name ( his pound name was Domino, now he's Spanky ), not only did he move in, he adopted us as his family. In many ways he behaves more like a dog or a child. If we go out and leave him at home, he comes running when we return. It's obvious that he's glad to see us and we're always glad to see him.


After only a year he seems pretty well satisfied with his training. Don't misunderstand, he's training us, not vice-versa.
This is his new portrait. Pretty handsome wouldn't you say?

This is an interesting subject. I find it fascinating that some folks that think of themselves as learned and sophisticated can be so naive. Without naming names in a public place, I've had some interesting encounters of late.
