                     Well we got Edgar off the road here as a stray and it's
time to have him fixed... There is a local nonprofit group that has
locations around and it's $45 to have a male cat fixed and rabies shot.

                           Here is a pic of Edgar waiting for his favorite
snack... Popcorn. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l206/elcam84/042.jpg
