Guten Tag Richard, Your cat-alligator story gets better and better! What is your felines name?We had two cats for many years whom I called Abigail and Blake.My husband called them "Fat Cat" and " Bigfoot".Blake was polydigital,and Abby...well Abby was described well by Tom. The German lessons are getting better and better as well.Herr Martin,my high school German teacher would be happy to see that I am soaking them all up.I sure didn't show much interest in the language in 1960! Thanks again.You are a treasure to this list. Jerilyn
