Great story! Loved reading every post about the cat!

Try using the word, "CAT" so as not to confuse the good lady as to your intentions.

What a story! I just came across this thread this morning and couldn't stop laughing. And crying. Just when we needed to be reminded how decent people can be, along comes Matt, David, et al.

I have his long lost brother separated at birth.



OK, they are not really related but they are kindred spirits.

I am very happy that Opie is doing well. He looks like he is quite content and that made it all worth while.

Boy does your cat look a LOT like Opie!!! Yes, he is happy, spoiled, doted upon and loved as much as he wants at any given time. Thanks again for bringing such joy and happiness to a dark time in our lives. You've earned some very special brownie points in my book! Buff and Betsey

Hi all, was feeling a bit nostalgic so I thought I'd post another pic of Opie. Man, what an awsome cat he is!! I hope he outlives me cause I'm not sure what I'd do without him. Since I don't have a Benz anymore I've been spending a lot of time buying and selling government surplus on the side and I'm looking to buy a deuce soon. Lots of money to be made if you know what to look for. Also, I belong to a military website www.steelsoldiers.com Take a peek, you might like it!!

Thanks for the update. I was organizing my Photobucket account the other day and took a look at the pictures, I found myself wonder what the kitty was up to. Glad to hear he's doing well.

I gotta say, again, thanks to all those that made this all happen.

Thanks for the update HD. I'm glad he is doing well and has a good home.
