I love that word you made up: mewstique, how I hope my brain will let me remember it. LOVE cats, have loved on a Siamese since 1st grade (always one, his/her life long.) I do not like fleas, we have none of those, thank you, God. (I'm allergic) I noticed someone else had an acrostic called, 'dog', was there a contest? You did such a cute job. CayCay

Thanks. The word has grown on me too. There was an acrostic competition with three letter words - cat, dog, son, boy, pet, toy. I think those were all the choices.
