About Me

"Doesn't want kids" - Where did I say that? I don't have any (that I know of - okay, old joke), but wouldn't walk away if I met someone I liked that had kids.I'm from GREAT LAKES MICHIGAN (GO DETROIT TIGERS!)That cute cat is "Tarrie Cat 1" by Clive Barker.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other cat lovers. It took three years for my 18 year old to train me (sadly, I lost her a couple of years ago). Last March I inherited my 14 year old (who is "helping" me type this) - I think he is almost satisfied with his training program. Ah, he says it's time for me to brush him - gotta go . . . .
