Daaamn!!! :o

That's a nice find parts.

30's? 40's? I found one from 1955 on ebay, but that one looks older (and alot nicer).

I think it's the 40's but have yet to really go over it carefully

A large piece of glass big enough to cut to size a replacement for the Jesus diorama Max broke

 Next you'd better find Max a good catechism class to keep him from doing that again.  :laugh:

Found the little rascal of next-door. He had managed to sneak in again, and I found him just emptying Luna's bowl of food.

Aw, probably paying Luna back for eating some of his food. 

My neighbor came home one day to find one of our cats on her kitchen countertop.  The cat snuck in through the doggie door and the dogs cornered her.  The cat also waltzed into another neighbor's house through a back door despite the neighbor having 4 dogs.

No, Luna will not try that, somehow she is scared of dogs. She's kinda scared of the little rascal too. He is a real piece of work. I saw him getting his teeth into the plastic 4 litre container with Sirius' diet food. And he dragged it over the floor. I think he wanted to take that home. He's a kleptomaniac. When that didn't succeed, he managed to find the food that wasn't in the container yet, but in the original package, stored in the hallway. And chewed through the plastic.

I fear my washing will end up at my neighbours place in two weeks or so. He can now undo clothes pegs. Well, if she hands it back clean and folded, I won't complain too loud.  :autism:

I wonder what he was in the rest of his nine lives.

He may have 8 more lives ahead of him yet, he's just a couple of months old.
