I know we have a cat program here... I believe it's in the state prison. Somehow I just can't imagine Leavenworth Federal having a program like it, but who knows? I only live 5 blocks from LV Fed. When there was a time when trump was actually in court and people were saying send him to LV, I was the one dissenting voice saying "Oh, please... anywhere but here! (LOL)"

I'm associated with one of the rescue groups here. We've got a monthly meeting coming up, and it's a good question to bring up in group. While most of us have dogs, we're generally cat people, ourselves. I live with a 110-115 lb loveable mutt and her pack includes me and hubs and 7 cats, including one Manx and one Norwegian. I'll let you guess who rules the roost around here!

Hea, I know about those brain freezes! I'm 10 years less than you, and some days I feel like I'm chasing my marbles all over the house! It can be infuriating. Hubs is about your age, and he's having more trouble than me. So my days consist of trying to understand what words he can't get from brain to mouth, while hoping I remember to pay the latest bill that's come due. Growing older is not for the faint of heart, no matter what your situation. I feel for yours having experienced a TBI at such a young age. Mine had electroshock therapy for schizophrenia when he was a teenager, and it's left him with some permanent holes in his memory, which was never very good to begin with! His birthday is the day before mine... so I told him at least he has no excuse for not remembering my birthday... ever! (LOL)

Again, thanks for the in depth info... I appreciate the info and the personal reference that you shared with it.
Sláinte, soldierant, to you and your hubs!
