Yeah, thanks, but what can you do? The little guy popped out of some leafy weeds, screeching his little head off, and started hopping around our dog's legs (she was *not* happy about that). Couldn't just leave him there. Basically, though, that's the story of our (mine and my partner's) lives: cats in need of a home just seem to find us.

Instead, you took him in and are caring for him at your own expense. That says a lot about you as a person, in how you treat the least among us, human or animal.

That cat is so adorable and the thoughts that you took it in and gently cared for it speaks volumes of your character!

Lett the gouging begin. I looked for the Burt Reynolds movie " The End" on ebay and it looked like all his movies jumped up to the 20-30 dollar range.

Essentially the same story of how we found our oldest cat. She was so starved that she never did grow to full size. She looks like she's about 6 months old even though she's 14 years old.

We have six cats now, and it's a pretty similar story for all of them, i.e., we either found them somewhere as kittens needing a home or, in the case of two of them, they were from the litter of a feral cat (different generations, though) and we managed to tame and adopt them. What you said about your cat still looking kittenish reminds me of one of ours (found abandoned in a corn field!) - she's four years old now, but still looks like the cat version of a tween.

One of the shops in my area (Bookery Fantasy) just posted a pic of the new collection they got in... several high grade copies of Weird Tales from the 30s...now if only I had the budget to pick some of these up for the original Conan stories...sigh. -M

I loved Weird Tales and they had some of the most imaginative stories to boot.

If you look at the history of pulps Weird Tales was not a high selling book. It was looked down on as one of the "shivers" and its pay rate was on the lower end. But clearly its influence far transcended its sales and reputation when it was being published.
