Yes to both, MrsD. Sparta was recently dxd with feline leukemia, according to the latest post on his site. I don't know what treatment there is for that, but I was very sad to find that out. I think since it hasn't been long ago that Picabo died, it really upset me to think about him being sick.

Sparta is an Egyptian Mau - Cory talks about it in one of the earlier videos. Ever since I got my Iphone, when I'm stuck somewhere having to wait, I pull it out and surf YouTube. It's like a big smorgasboard of info, from trivia on up, and I can always find a few minutes entertainment. Thus, the random thread.
