This is as witty as can be! May I make a suggestion?. You need a few more characters. That's why I'm offering , free of charge and paid shipping, two hilarious kittens, Innie and Undie, to add to your cast of characters. Paws to think a moment of what these two infected, er, infectious little darlings could bring . Squeaks, squeals, and other sounds never heard before in the feline world. And the claw and lace curtain trick is sure to bring down the house. DM me at your earliest convenience!

Until Pawed Cast, I really had no interest in cats. Now, I’m living with four!!

Aw, jeez... I am so sorry, Andrew. Just remember -- What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

Congratulations…. I had no idea there was so much going on here on the left side. Or that Raymond was so news aware.

Hey! This guy knows stuff. Six other Pawed Casts to prove it. Whenever you need a laugh.

You open with hysterical laughter: "brutally cold 59 degrees". That's warm enough to paint a wall outside and expect it to dry right. Breakfast in the garden this morning with the cats at 38 degrees. Serious mouse hunting. Corn fields getting picked up today and yesterday means more treats in the garden. Happy cats. Happy me. Not fond of mice in the kitchen. LITTTTLE dog at the Propane office has fur standing straight out 4 inches like a dandelion. I hope that's not a harbinger like the black and tan fuzzy caterpillars. Catch those mousies Raymond. Eat em up YUM. Treats for cats )))

Brrrr. Raymond has totally rid the garden of all the vermin. Not a gopher in sight. He also cleaned up the neighbor's yard -- they love to see him over there hunting. D and M are thinking of renting him out up and down Marnell Avenue to supplement their retirement income.

Raymond gets me through the night. "It is a brutally cold 59 degrees" LOL, I missed this before and can identify.

Ray has accepted your enrollment in the Raybot fan club. Which has no perks, really. He just likes the metrics.

I'm a big fan of Raymond's Pawed Cast, and getting ever-so-close to making a visit to the shelter...the animal shelter, that is. We had a cozy fire going last night, and the only thing missing, was the motor purr of a lap cat. Raymond has "Put A Spell On Me...." You certainly are familiar with the lives of cats, Sharron. Delightful!!

It was great to catch up with you, Raymond. Have fun watching those murder mysteries with Mary but be sure to tell Dennis if you see her taking notes.

Congratulations on TIF medallion. You deserve it, Sharron. I believe some cats actually talk like Raymond only in their own language. Particularly, when it comes to canines. These pawed casts are a lot of fun, Cousin.

Raymond - a never-ending source of foolishness. He makes me laugh, too.
