Thanks, Beth and Jan.

While all cats are special, Snuggles has a special history. He just showed up on our porch (we live in the middle of nowhere), on Christmas Day a few years back.

I thought my husband was teasing, when he said, "Did you see the cat on the porch?" I said, "You're kidding right?" He said, "No." At which point I ran to the kitchen window to see for myself.

We brought him in, because it was a very cold day. He grew into this really tall, really long, really handsome cat!

Thanks everyone for your caring thoughts and prayers. You now how critters just have a way of crawling into your heart.
