Hello.....I am afraid that I am the owner of a very spoiled Shih Tzu doggie named Jeb Stuart, or often referred to as "The General!" My ex has the cat, named Charlie. Just visited him today, and, that is one HUGE cat, about twenty five pounds. Charlie is "selective" in his affections, and, prefers men to women. I do talk to him on the phone and leave him messages, or send up treats. A few times a year, the ex brings him to the house for a week for what we call "Kitty Cat Vacation!" Charlie can be destructive, so trust me, when that week is up, I am happy for the house to return to normal. Not to mention Jeb and Charlie hate each other, sooo it is a lot of fighting! I have no problem chasing them both with the BROOM! LOL Have a wonderful Saturday! Rags and Jeb
