I knew all along that, more likely than not, we would be adding a new family member when Jane brought home a stray cat. Not quite a kitten but still 
a youngish male and very friendly tiger cat. We were out walking around Kentsburg a couple Friday nights ago and the cat/kitten was meowing very loudly and began following us home. Of course, we couldn't just keep walking like I suggested. Jane had to stop to say hello and then spent the next hour talking to nearby homeowners asking whether this was their cat. Of course, nobody had ever seen him before and knew nothing about him and yada, yada, yada we brought the cat home that night (see picture at top left). Jane did post several CAT FOUND posters around the neighborhood where we found the cat and sent his picture and identifying information to the local Humane Society, obviously no one has been looking for him. No big surprize there! And of course, the longer he stayed with us......I knew the harder it w
ould be to get rid of him. I've lived through this before and vowed to NEVER EVER NEVER let it happen again. So it's now been a couple of weeks.....he's been neutered, vaccinated and named. Yeah. Maximus Decimus Meridius....(after the Russel Crowe character in the movie "Gladiator"). Commander of the armies of the north...general of the Felix Legions...loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius....what can I say we all liked the movie Gladiator--thanks to Elroy for the suggestion. As for me.........I'll always call Max "the Spaniard".
