  What- Windex? <EG>   Actually, we weren't in a real hurry to move,
but I hope he doesn't make a habit of getting into tight spots.  Our
two previous cats were free to do their thing and enjoyed watching the

exploration of their surroundings.  They were also whistle trained
from kittenhood.  This guy is so damn dumb...
