"No Body's Gonna Mess W' My Super Cat!" Today I got My Super Cat -- not the tabby from My Childhood -- Today I got ASTRO -- The Longest Living Cat From The Pound -- The Biggest, Sleekest, Blackest Cat picked out by Me when All I had To Go By was a dark and haunted face sticking out from a butterflied cat bed advertising He Was Free! (since He'd been there over a year the adoption fee would be waived) but now He's worth My Life -- I don't have to say "He's My Mascot!" This Is All I Have To Say -- and I've said it to Him already: "Astro, Wherever YOU go, I GO" - written by Joanna Gilman Hyde Blair on December 2nd in The Year 2010 (& not written in Her Diary)
