    :) I am soooo glad you said it! I kept thinking it whenever I came here to read posts....

    I have four cats..... :)

    BTW - haven't posted in a long while but I am still head over heels in love with my Prius. I recently starting commuting to the Boston area to work and I go 90 miles one way. At almost 1,000 miles a week I am only spending about $30 - $35 a week on gas. Sweeeeet!

    Well, SE/SS was worth the cost of entry

    People thought me rather odd, that when asked to show pictures of the kids, I would pull out my keychain and show them my fav cat.

    Now I can just say -- they car keys are in my pack.

    I grew up with dogs and love them. But my wife is a devoted cat person, and frankly, our life doesn't currently allow for anything as high-maintenance as a properly spoiled dog. (Though our cat's maintenance requirements have increased dramatically over the years - my roles include servant, pamperer, bodyguard and bed.)

    Howdy,

    My record (so far) is three Goldens in the back of my Prius for a long trip.

    Now as for cats, I like'm. It's summertime; barbecues and mint juleps.

    Ahhhh.... cat, the other white meat. :)

    Tom,

    I've never considered cat food appealing, barbecued or not.

    Heck, even our cats turn up their noses at it.

    My wife is a cat lover - black, calico, and tabby. We also have a flat coated black lab and a jack russel. I like dogs, they are the only ones who obey me at our house. :p

    Good to see you Tom! Good to see a new picture of the dogs too.

    Wow, the whole back seat. Hmm. Wonder if Epic would be more comfortable with having the whole rear section, even if he has to compete with a wheelchair.

    My wife and I have 3 cats (Tabby whos name is Tommy, Tortoise Shell Calico whos name is Smokie, and a long haired Gray whos name is Sammy)...we also have a 2 year old Border Collie named Libbie. I wouldn't give up the cats for the world, even though I am more of a dog person. My wife is the one that brought two cats with her, Smokie has been mine for 11 years now, she lived with me through college and was a great friend...still is, although her social schedule mostly includes sleep and eating in her old age :D

    Just to run the point home, I rescued a cat running loose in the school yard where I worked at the time. Brought her home. Called her mine. Her name? "PRIUS"! I have the chrome PRIUS badge from the hatch hanging above her kitty bed. (The original badge had a slight defect in the chrome plating.)

    Avatar? I'm using the actual car. Now if we could have two avatars... :wink:

    Of course Prii go with cat people. My old Accord growled as it went down the road. My Prius just purrs...

    Yes, more furry critters here...old grumpy siamese (Matsuda) very loveable orange tabby (Malika) and large grey tabby (Max). Also two Pugs, (Wallis and Sandy) though they do not herd the cats too well!

    I just had to join the club and get a cat avatar. This is my kitty, Elaine. Don't wake her. She's kinda crabby. :)
