Tyrca,

Puff was indeed Dick and Jane's cat.  Our Puff was a fluffy little white
cat, and my mother did not have the wide-ranging imagination that I have
always possessed.   :-)  I gave him the middle name "Pierre", just
because, and the rest of the family always remembered him as "Puff
Pierre" or "Pierre", if that tells you anything.

That cat was a garbage-gut.  An inspiration to omnivores everywhere.

Berengaria
