LOL When I turn off the kitchen lights at night I want everything shining and ready for the next day. I had a coil stove before and it wiped...

You've done what you felt was right. You are a good person. Enjoy him with all your heart.

Wow! Those look fantastic!

My post wasn't to imply that you are a bad person. So please, let's get that out of the way. I merely was replying with my opinion to your post, "What to do with stray kitty?" I was answering your question with what I would do, my opinion.I think you have a big heart and have fallen in love...
