102. Mine is the purrsona of my sassy Rainbow Bridge cat from decades ago

Mon Mar 24, 2025, 01:56 PM

Mar 2025

In the 1980s and 1990s, I had an orange and white sassy cat named Napoleon Bonaparte --he thought he WAS Napoleon Bonaparte -- who was the king of sass. His attitude spurred my mom to tell him "Meow to you too." He passed away in 1996 of FIP, which was fatal at the time.
I tried to sign up for Yahoo as meow2u2, but that was taken, so I signed up in 2000 as meow2u3.
