Gracie is recovering from her first round of URI. 
Alan explains the plan to her. 
As soon as she's well, we'll find her and her brother a good home. 
That's the plan... 
She laughs at Alan and decides that she likes her warm human's chest!
She plots with Debbie and her brothers to undermine the plan.

Gracie's URI came back with a vengeance. 
Cassidy wasn't affected this time but he would not leave her side.
He stopped eating and playing and stayed next to her every minute. 
We had to encourage him to eat and play so that he wouldn't get sick.
We took Gracie in to our vet and started her on heavy meds, 
syringe feeding,  and nebulizer treatments twice a day. 
She slowly began to recover. We ended up buying our own nebulizer 
since renting was getting costly and borrowing one became inconvenient.
The plan... was still to find them a good home.
Two potential adopters fell through.

Cassidy listens politely as Alan explains the plan to him...

Gracie also listens politely as Alan explains the plan to her...
We're going to find them both a good home... 
yes we are... that's the plan...  it's what we do!

Cassidy asks Alan to explain the plan one more time!

After careful consideration Gracie and Cassidy tell us they don't like the plan!

It's the incredible two headed cat!  May 20, 2003.
Bailey and Cassidy are growing into a couple of big boys.
They enjoy each others company, maybe a little too much.
