Amy

You know the iguana has warmed up to the soccer ball because your German cats -- being natives of a huge soccer nation -- have introduced the reptile to the world's game.

And that cat -- is that thing 20 pounds?

: )

No, his last weigh-in at the vet put him at 12 pounds. My other cat weighs about 8 pounds, so both of them together weigh 20. However, my sister has a cat that I refer to as "The Black Bear". He's got to weigh at least 20 pounds. He's huge! Laughing

cool. So could your two cats take on your sister's 20-pounder?

Or does the 20-pounder pretty much rule the roost wherever he is?

Hi Tom

I've only got one cat now. The one in the picture died a couple weeks ago. (I guess he must have been well over 80 in "people years".)

My sister's 20-pounder does seem to rule the roost, though. You ought to see him with the dog. The dog seems to believe that if he goes on the attack and chases the cat, he'll be able to catch it. How ever, (oops! please delete the space in the middle of that last word) the dog never seems to remember that he hasn't ever managed to catch the cat. It's funny to watch the two of them during one of those chases. The dog always seems to be running at top speed and frequently careens out of control around the corners. The cat, meanwhile, is basically in full control and doing the equivalent of "power walking". The cat also seems to be rolling its eyes the entire time. Laughing
