my cat is older than me

What are you trying to tell me here, Hope?  Is the house too cold for you?  We're still in a relative warm streak in Minneapolis, the furnace is off, and we haven't had our first freeze yet.

It was this week in 2010 that I was at work when a customer handed me an apparently dead kitten at the animal shelter's receiving desk.  (I'm just a tech guy, not a vet.)  She rebounded quickly during the next week of foster care.  A month later, finally weighty enough for spay surgery, she became available for adoption and I brought her home, where she settled in quickly.  I think she's very photogenic, actually.

The formula for cat age comparison is a little quirky, but Hope is now an equivalent human age of 60 years old.  She's probably still more rambunctious than me, and I'll be only 54 years old in a few more days.

But we both really appreciate napping under the electric blanket on the recliner in front of the television.  I wish we could both do that full time.
