He does have cats; he just doesn't have the money to replace them. My question is: How many miles are on your cats?

I answered with something that may help you, short term as well as long.

Next time, don't be so impatient and start another thread 3 hours later. Just bump your first thread with a ttt post. You may miss the answer you were looking for.
