I will say he's a hairy critter and I think he looks bigger because of all the hair.<BR/><BR/>He's definitely bigger than our black and white cat, though.Frankiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443594220588498332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147563.post-1140722562475242352006-02-23T11:22:00.000-08:002006-02-23T11:22:00.000-08:00First, how big is your cat?

I think we have the all black version of your cat.<BR/>Second, my 7yo went through a short vegetarian phase when he learned that Beast Boy from Teen Titans is a vegetarian.<BR/>I got stuck behind a raccoon one day driving in the back entrance of the grocery store.

He'd burst out in tears just with the fact he knew "an innocent raccoon" was shot, let alone it was then named Ricky. <BR/><BR/>That's one area that I cannot discuss with my son to any great degree -- killing of animals. You wouldn't believe his reaction when we did a unit on Native Americans last year.

One of the questions is to count how many students are present. My girls sometimes include the dogs laying on the stairs as students, the horses outside and almost always include dolls, blankets and me in the count.
