Glad you liked my hamburger helper idea! I can always add brussels sprouts to it (laughing). You have other pets, too? Watch that sucker fish...we had one that outgrew a 20 gal tank and became 14" long, had to be donated to pet store with huge tank. The cat is one pet I never had due to allergies. Now, for some reason, no sneezing with this cat, she even slept on my bed all night and was in my face. A lovely cat to have, too. I have gotten all the necessaries for her, and she was a wish come true for me, found her a few days before my birthday. Older daughter gave away a cat I cared for some months ago when husband blamed sneezing on cat. Husband has been sneezing for 2 years! I told him that is why there is Claritin. He just didn't want me to have a cat! My son is allergic, so we keep his door closed. Cat is in another bedroom. Even the dog likes her!

Our shelters are always full and there are many ads for free cats. I worry about all of them going to the wrong home. Wish I could take more in, but with dog, fish, hermits, frogs, oh and husband (he's a pet, too) I am busy. He is what we call the "typical man", can't share territory with homeless animal. Well, he is now! I am holding my ground on this one! Frankly, he is jealous I spend so much time with my pets and I'd rather be with them, they aren't cranky. I'd rather sleep with them, too. Heck, I'd rather sleep with 29 possums than the husband (LOL). He's more cranky than 3 6 ft. sharks stuffed into an 8x8 ft. aquarium. I see more than hamburger helper in his future...maybe I could get a camel and he could sleep with it. I'll take my dog and cat and sleep with them! At least they don't snore...
