Mad Cat Disease
My wife and I once had a cocker spaniel and a cat in Rome that fell in love with each other. It wasn't just a dog and a cat getting along in the same household, they were deeply bonded. We had Bullo the dog first and then adopted Milarepa, who got her name from Indian legend. Their relationship began when Mila was still only weeks old. Originally we had intended for her to remain outside, on our ample terraces, but she quickly discovered she could get in the house by sneaking in underneath Bullo, Trojan horse style, when the door was opened for him. Ours was a strange menage. We had another cat, Whiskey, a male who lorded it over both of them. Mila managed the dual relationships well, Whiskey for occasional sex, and Bullo for tenderness and understanding.I made Michael Levine's e-mail digest of news and events yesterday (lbnelert@timewire.net) with the Grand Theft Auto cartoon (Wednesday 4/30). It goes out daily to almost 300,000 subscribers. As Gypsy Rose Lee might say, "great exposure.")

Terrific news, John C. Very proud of you.
Love this cartoon, it reminds me of a friend of mine with a "dog from hell" that she dotes on. Never go near her place with new shoes on your feet as the dog not only drools on them, he feels it his duty to chew on them as well. Only attacks new shoes that cost over $80 or more. After all he has his standards. My friend thinks it is cute. His name is Snookums so guess one can not really blame the poor bloke.
We had a kitten and a puppy ( the kitten was older) and the kitten, Stripe, ruled Oakley the doberman puppy. What was so amusing, of course, is that at any time Oakley could've clocked that kitten a good one, and forever held the upper hand, but he never did.
By the way, I'm flummoxed that a comment was deleted! This has always been such a fun, friendly and thoughtful blog, with most of the usual suspects weighing in, and everyone engaged and polite even with differing views. Perhaps there's a downside to wider exposure!
There's a benign explanation, Gretchen. It was actually a double-posting of the previous comment, by Roger, one of those hiccups that's happened to all of us at one time or another. I probably should have left it as was, since you're right, the "comment deleted" does make it seem as if there was an alien invasion in what I'm delighted to know is experienced as a friendly gathering place.
Apparently I've been watching too much political tv lately, since I assumed a sinister context. Shame on me for putting that particular, um, spin on it! Thanks for clearing it up.
