| Anything is possible when you are talking about a cat. I don't know
where any of my bunch came from. I have suspected for a few months now
that they are leading a double life. I don't think they have been
appearing on TV, however. At least, I haven't seen them spending money
and driving around in fancy cars--but maybe I just haven't been looking
at the right time.
I don't ask many questions as to their origins. If no one answers my
initial adds, then the cats are mine. I wouldn't give them up for
anything, so I'm not asking them too many questions on their past
lives. Not that would tell me if I did.

| You know, of course, that Steve Martin's cat embezzled from him for
quite a while before he found out it was going to the bank with a
little kitty-arrow-through-the-head and cashing Steve's checks. The
only way Steve found out was when he discovered *thousands of dollars
worth* of cat toys scattered through the house. "SURE, they're *FUN*,"
Steve says, "... I *hate* it when they go under the refrigerator!"

| Hehehe - I don't know HOW MANY TIMES I've gotten nose-to-nose with one
of my furfaces and lectured them about paying their own way. Just
thinking about Spunky being able to contribute to the bottom line of
the household makes me want to track down the cat in this commercial.
The resemblance is absolutely striking.
Have any of you ever heard Garrison Keillor's song about Fluffy, aka
Clarice, the cat who left home because she thought she deserved
better, went to Hollywood, made cat food commercials, got hooked on
salmon, and gained 23 lbs, then came back home a humbler kitty,
thankful for mere suburban existence? Maybe that's his story!
