Hi, all of you cat slaves!
It has been some years since I was active in this group, but now I'm back.
The reasons for my long lasting abscence are quite complicated. I was
unemployed for a long time, I was depressed, and I felt that nothing was
worth my attention.
Times have changed, fortunately, and I got the best job in the world! Now I
work in a project to move the data networks of the adminstration the City of
Oslo (Norway) into a common network. Very interesting, very challenging, and
I make about $100,000 a year... Terrific!
But, would you ask, how about my cats? I can't tell how grateful I am to
them. My two Devon Rex cats, Teti (5 yo) and Tinùviel (6 yo), have been my
greatest comfort in the bad times I have gone through. They don't care about
how my life is, they just love me for what I am. I am sure they have saved
me from a severe breakdown. The time may be right now to find a girlriend
again, but if I have to choose between cats and girfriend... Easy choice!
Anyway, I promise that I will stick to this group again!

My cats have definitely saved me in bad emotional times. There have been
days when I felt like the only reason to go on living was that I had
dependents.
Congrats on the new job, that's great!
And welcome back to RPCA.

Good to see you back, Hans, we europeans are outnumbered by our friends
across the pond. ;-)
