Mandrake, cats are very persistant teachers - they seem to believe, if they stop commanding, human slaves might forget their duties - that's at least what mine told me when I complained <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.
I've had about 40 cats until now, mostly 3-4 at a time, mainly problematic ones (strays, neurotic, abandoned, chronic ill, illtreated). My family loves dogs and when I got my first cat as an adult, I was in for a hard time. Tiggy taught me very severely where my correct place was: Under her claw! And in her former life she was a vacuum cleaner, cause she seemed to inhale everything she thought suitable for lunch, including rubber, pins, needles etc. As she had a heart disease, I had to keep her on diet and lock everything dangerous away. She was not amused... And then it happened, I gave her to my colleague during my vacation and she stole liver sausage, died of intestinal occlusion 14 days later. Ah well, I enjoyed her 13 years.
Faile: Test for Feline Leukaemia (FeLV, FeSV)was what I meant, this is more common than the relatively new disease Feline AIDS (FTLV, FIV-FAIDS)
