Great to know that background -- and along the lines of Vally AG's comment, I think it means that she must be a particularly scrumptious kitty indeed!! :)<br /><br />Sixteen years ago two itty bitties were handed to me in a little brown paper bag after being rescued from a Chicago alley... but that container didn't really lend itself to any interesting names like your container did... or maybe I just wasn't creative enough! :)<br /><br />(One of my "paper bag kitties" is thankfully still with me, but the other one, after struggling with intestinal cancer and other related issues, sadly is no longer gracing my home with his oh so loving and sweeter than sweet presence... like your Ve Ching, he is greatly missed!!)HeidiKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168712881370406944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-30891058395154839432010-07-13T05:57:53.654-07:002010-07-13T05:57:53.654-07:00Jenni - I was able to donate using my debit card (...Jenni - I was able to donate using my debit card (it's a master card) so I am surprised to hear you are having issues. <br /><br />I'm sorry, there's not an option for Paypal.
