We were really sorry to read about Blue. My wife's cat disappeared for three days once about 12 years ago and we were fearful of the worst. She came back in tatters but recovered nicely and lived another 9 years before she died of old age at 17. We were catless until yesterday, when a widowered friend of my wife's parents gave us two 4 year old female cats that he wasn't able to properly care for after the death of his wife. Two kids, two cats and probably a dog in the spring. I may need some help from my commie comrades to support that brood!!

penni, an old friend of yours who is no longer a member of S.I. asked me to pass this note along to you... My dearest Ms. Witherspoon, Due to a most termatorious and insustuable past few months, I was unable to initiate even a partial revendication of your recently published glottological musings. Please be so kind as to initiate the transfer of an electronic similitude of said epistle. I intend to expeliciously synthcrosize your "piece justificative" and compare its determinate ascertaitions with my own ponderific deliberations on the retro-disystemality inherent in the modern American family. anfractuously yours Reginald B. Arturo penni, I think Reggie wants you to send him a copy of your article. purething
