My kind of pet are cats. I had one growing up who was a stray. We named him Kitsle. Kitsle means Tickle in Yiddish, actually though Ketsle is Yiddish for Kitten. He pasted away several years ago. We had to put him to sleep as he was full of cancer.
Also, there is my family dog, Shana. She is doing rather well for an older dog. Shana is Yiddish for Pretty. This is definately a misnomer.
Then there is my cat that I have presently. Carter is the sweetist little guy. He loves to play with his crazy ball (a small rubber bouncy ball). Carter is very well behaved, he has NEVER scrached my couch or other furniture EVER. Lisa
