Bit of weirdness, there. <br /><br />I grew up with cats so I guess I don't find them all that odd -- I like their restraint better than the eagerness of a dog, although my current two are "run and hide" kitties and I prefer greeter cats. They're buddies to me, but I really kind of loved it when I had a one who greeted everyone at the door and was determined to make absolutely everyone her friend (that was Sunshine). It worked; even my cat-hating friends loved her. Isabel is incredibly sweet and lovable to me but she would not be the kind to talk anyone into being owned by a cat, poor thing. She's particularly terrified of males. I'm convinced she was driven somewhere and dumped by a man.

YAY for a Fiona pic. Just found out my neighbors now have 4 kitties. The newest came over to inspect me rather than run and hide like the others. Cats are so odd.

Maybe it would have more meaning to someone who is already familiar with St. Xenia but it really didn't mean much to me. It was just too weird.<br /><br />The photography class I'm taking would probably suit your needs very well, Q. It's online, lasts 6 weeks and you can do 1 lesson per day or just go at your own pace. I've been behind pretty much from the get-go, but it doesn't seem to matter and I am learning so much I'm afraid my head will soon explode. Feel free to email me for details.
