- Yup. When my marriage broke up, we had 8 cats. Steve took Carrie,
- who wanted to be an only cat and was not fond of the rest of the crew,
- and I kept the rest. Carrie was also less nervous around Steve than
- me (though I had bottle raised her) because I had nursed her
- through some very tough illnesses. I think that to Carrie,
- "Kay=Vet".
-
- I kept everyone else because I was staying on in the country, and
- Steve moved to the city.
-
- Oh yes, "cat support" was written into the separation agreement--
- he'd brought at least half the cats home...
