It was just a usenet perception thing. It sounded as if the cat was an afterthought. I am glad to hear she has a well thought out name, I get very tired of Fluffys and Smokeys etc. I am certainly not surprised that she is the lead animal though.
I am not a big cat person really. I always had dogs throughout my life. Bucket came 14 years ago, wished on me by my elder daughter who worked with the woman who had tried to drown him. I admit I have grown fond of him over the years and he has redeemed cats in my opinion lol When he departs, I readily admit I shall miss him and his cranky ways.
Aksamite ~ very good, I like it !
