So, there is no such thing as a 2 year old kitten, is there?


Nope, no 2 year old kittens. (oops, I take that back. Cecil showed me the error in my ways.) But, if Cecil had a 2 year old "muskrat" that had a tail that was flattened horizontally rather than vertically, that might account for a larger than normal run and hole in the bank.
