Jeff, thanks for the very kind words :) Nahan, I wasn't aware of either of those, so thanks for the info. I will definitely check them out!

:) Too bad CPod isn't getting ad dollars from Coke for this.

Every time I see this lesson in the comments section, it makes me want to have a Diet Coke. Not good!

tumanov, I love it! What a great photo....that is quintessential 猫 māo。 As soon as you put some study materials down, the cat is on top of them in no time. Love the stretch.

Woohoo, Chicago! Clay, you worked at Fado?! What year? I used to go there to watch world cup soccer...best place in town for it. I may have bought a drink from you! And I agree about the pizza, deep dish is overrated and I personally don't like it. There are some great thin crust joints as well. The timing of this lesson is perfect for Chicago...this is the time of year, after the 7 month winter, when people crawl out of the woodwork and the city starts to buzz again. Any poddies coming to my 'hood, let me know and we'll hit Chinatown.

Ha ha, I never would have guessed my phat cat would get such a response...maybe she should be a plus-size cat model! Xuchen, I hope she fits on your monitor. Changye... 我的胖猫会吃你胖的小狗。:) wǒ de pàng māo huì chī nǐ pàng de xiǎo gǒu. RJ, no way on the diet...I love her fat. You should see when she "runs"...her stomach swings back and forth and almost touches the ground. It's a sight to see. I'll let her die fat and happy. Your maine coon sounds cool. They're a good looking breed.

Misterjess, all she eats is Iams Weight Control cat food. Apparently, the "weight control" is a big scam for Iams to charge a few bucks more!
