Thank you! We used to have 2 cats, who promptly separated themselves into "hers" and "mine" and we may go that route again. Little too soon to seriously consider but I'm guessing that we'll be looking into adoption a few months down the road. Thanks for the thought on litter mates.

Re: "True Blood" - I'm remembering the first book as pleasant but forgettable. I think the series seems to be taking advantage of a more panoramic view of the various characters and that makes all the difference. I'll have to check out the rest of Season 1.
