Hebr-ish word of the day:  CATSIM  (The plural of cats...or something like that.  I am sure a linguist could decipher the thought process.)

And speaking of our favorite feline, this morning Harry came downstairs with as we walked to Gan.  When I came home twenty minutes later, he greeted me at the front door of the building, and rather than coming inside with me, he nuzzled up against me; I picked him up, gave him a snuggle and a deep belly rub, and he happily jumped out of my arms and into the garden to play with his friends.

Perhaps Raphaela and Harry have rubbed off on each other more than I realize.
