Hello,

Here's another unofficial entry to give an example of the VAF Spirit.

This is Wizard aka Wizzie, our nearly 5-year old domestic short hair who was found in a dumpster after having survived being compressed in a garbage truck as a tiny kitten. He's a shy sweetie and oh, so very soft.

I posted these signs every place I could think of where the cats sleep (there's a second cat, an orange tabby, Tango). I would rush to grab the camera when I thought at least one of them would stay PUT for a Kodak moment! I must have taken 30 or 40 photos over the past two days. Only three photos made it to the 'finals' for posting here.

So here's V.A.F., Virtual Assistant Feline at your service.
