So what is your recomendation then? Henceforth we call it Kittzophrenia? Or perhaps Moggynoia although that might get confusing.
Sounds like either condition could easily render you catatonic. :D

Indeed. I think either could also be good cause for a catscan.

All caused by the lack of a catacomb?

Purrfect puns! Hey, did you know there's a mewseum in Catalina for ailurophiles? I think it's called Purrsia or some such thing.

Well, you asked for it. Probably one of the most brilliant ads I've ever seen.

Not even a working dog? My friend Kay who is basically wheelchair-bound and has seizures owns one of the most amazing dogs I've ever known. Dusty alerts her when she is going to have a seizure. He stays with her at all times, even when she was in the hospital for a knee replacement.

(Dusty also does service work as a "chemo dog." Several times a week Kay takes him to a cancer center where he sits at the feet of or on the laps of patients receiving chemotherapy. They pet him and talk to him and he calms them down, helping the chemicals enter the veins more freely. There are several dogs who do this regularly, but Dusty is their best chemo dog.)

I can think of lots of reasons to have a dog in the house, in spite of the hassles.

Speaking as a parasite, I would like to know just what is so bad or so different about allowing dogs into the house versus children? :boggle:

I saw a thing on tv about how some dogs, not all, are able to "sense" cancer in people. Their success rate is something phenominal, like in the 70 or 80 percentile range.
