And that in turn naturally made me think of my two Feline pets
Rascal (initially named Alice till we found out he was a male

Rascal as a kitten in 1989 he unsuccesfully argued with a motorcycle less than three years later and was replaced by a genuine Alice

who I had to leave behind with a good friend when I came to New Jersey in 2000.
Alice unbelievably will be sweet 16 this coming September
