*&%#@% Cat!

i want to thank all of you for your kind words.  i think i responded personally to all of you.

napoleon is home safe.  he was a little freaked out -- freaked out enough that when he was let go in the house, he didn't hiss at the dog when the dog licked him.  this is progress people.  the dog has come close to losing an eye for just looking at napoleon. 

i have a question for parents out there.  napoleon was brought home last night by some really awesome  kids who recognized him from the notice i was distributing in the neighborhood.  i'd like to give them a little something but i don't want to freak their parents out.  parents out there...what's an appropriate "reward" for 10 year olds?  (by the way, i did thank them repeatedly and told them they were awesome, which they were, and i think that alone made them happy).
