BEVERLY HILLS—All I have to say is that it's about time that one of us kitty-cats has been in this column again! My name is "Tahoe", and I'm the biggest one of the bunch - how does about 25 pounds sound ? - so I was chosen this time to protest our being ignored for so long.

 I'm an 11 year old male with black and grey stripes. I've been told that I have beautiful blue eyes. I'm pretty laid back and I am what is called a "couch potato."

I have been neutered, had all my shots and now I'm just waiting for someone to take me home so that we can sit on the couch together. Please! Some quotes to enjoy: "If cats could talk, they wouldn't." - Nan Porter; "Thousands of years ago, cats were  orshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this." -Anonymous; "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." - Albert Schweitzer; "Kittens learn early to listen intently when someone calls them - and do absolutely nothing." - Pam Rown; "You can't look at a sleeping cat and be tense." - Jane Pauley; "Since each of us is blessed with only one life, why not live it with a cat?" - Robert Stearns If you would like to volunteer with the cats or dogs, please call us.
