God, I miss the sweet little fella so damn much.
In any case, regular music posting resumes tomorrow. And thanks to everybody who had kind words for me and Wendy and Ollie this week.

Aww. Ollie just looks do darn cool.
So sorry for you.
So sorry. Take care
He was a wonderful, gentle, loving, trusting little soul. All he wanted was to be around people. He was a cat among cats.
And thanks to all of you.
The good news: Ollie's having a blast romping around in the Great Meadow in the Sky. The bad news: he's waiting for YOU to join him, Steve!
I know exactly how you feel. Get a new cat. There are thousands available. It's win-win.
Look at his eyes (Ollie's not Simels), that'a one all knowing cat!
ROTP(lumber)
I give you condolences for losing your precious cat. It's hard when you lose a pet,I know how it feels,because I lost my cat last year. She was 10 years old and I had her for 9 yrs. A very sweet cat she was. Budd
Aw, Steve.
I'm so sorry.
We lost our favorite cat ever last year; he was but six.
No one will ever convince me that cats are not our special, spiritual friends.
And if there's a heaven, it won't be heaven unless our favorite little companions are there with us.
Our sincere condolences.
Ollie was angle-proof, as Bergman would have said. And what attitude there.
My condolences about Ollie. I'm the proud owner of 9 cats (yeah, I know!) and I love every one of those fuzzy nutbars. I had one cat die and had to send some off with new owners (not as traumatic, but still sad) so I know how precious they are and how deep those bonds can go. My thoughts are with you.
Also, I can't seem to get the files for the Batdorf & Rodney 2-on-1 CD to work. Is the link dead? Also, do you HAVE to use a goofy puzzle captcha access page?
Thanks! Ollin (yup, that's my real name)
Ollin --
Thanks for the kind words.
Here's a link to that Batdorf and Rodney
