Cats!

In the twenty-nine years Sue and I have been married (as I write this), we've had ten cats. At this time, sadly, only one is still with us.

I'd like to talk about them all a little bit.

When Sue and I met, I had two cats, Ray and Chicago. Sue was not a cat person at that time. In fact, she was somewhat afraid of Ray. She soon came to realize, however, that he was a total sweetheart, and it didn't take long before she became a true cat lover.

In fact, it didn't take long after we got married that she brought Bert into our family. He became "her" cat - her "soul mate", as she has frequently described him.

Unfortunately, they don't live forever. Ray died, and we brought in Fred and Callie. Then Chicago died, and in came Linus and Lucy. Bert died, and we found Serena.

All have been wonderful friends to us, although, of course, they've all had different personalities and varying degrees of, uh, lovableness.
