Those of you who know me well understand that I am a serious feline addict. Spending eighteen years of my life with the same cat will do that to you (ages 4-22). Since my aunt Diane died very unexpectedly in December, she left behind a son and also three other "boys", her beloved cats, Sammy, Harry, and Paddy. Amazingly, they (and me) survived the journey to my house in New Hampshire without a scratch! They are doing well, and a few weeks ago I picked up this great old photo of a cat at an antique shop in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. Interestingly, there is an inscription on the back which reads:"Kadal, the Delta Chi Cat."
This makes me think this cat once upon a time lived at a frat house at some New England college. I'm sure he had a very good time!

You're right Chris! I love the picture. As I'm sure you know, I share the cat addiction. I'm so happy we have Molly. she really made our apartment home for me. I'm so glad you have three great kitties to run the house along with you and Ceci :P

Hmmm. This is interesting. According to Wikipedia (yes, yes, I know....) Delta Chi didn't get its first New England chapter until 1969 when one opened at Southern Maine. Bryant, Northeastern, UNH, and Rhode Island are the only other New England chapters - UMass has a colony, whatever that means, while URI and Northeastern have disbanded. Any idea how old the picture is or what kind of trees those are in the background?
And glad to hear the cats are settling in well. :-)
