Having not had an animal around since our German Shephard left us about 3 years ago, we got a cat, KiKi, about 2 months ago. I had forgot how pretty much maintenance free felines are, and what a good job they do on mice, moles, gophers and snakes. I have to keep taking birds and rabbits away from her though. I remember last Christmas the feline photos that made the rounds on the forum and how much I enjoyed them. Better late than never!! And as the subject title says, she pretty much runs the household already.
