THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN

Introducing! Sir Cap'n Jack Weezer!See a "Meezer" is a Siamese.
And a "Geezer" is an elderly Siamese.
So that makes a wee Siamese a Weezer.


Here is the little Weezer digging for treasure hence the "Cap'n Jack" (Sparrow) part of his name.


Myrrh is trying to get Weezer to shake paws.

Sheba and Myrrh at the Weezer exhibit.

We thought about naming him Henry VIII since he is cat #8. But that is liable to change.
Weezer is a really sweet little guy. Quiet and a real lap cat. He is a blue point so will bring some different colors into our little group. He hasn't quite figured out why Sheba keeps bopping him on the head or why the dogs are allowed in the house. He just came home last night so he still has a lot of settling in to do. He really likes his playpen (cage). He climbs in there and goes to sleep when he gets tuckered out. He didn't cry at all last night and was really good.

Yeah! We got a boy!

STATISTICS

Physicians: 1. The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
2. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
3. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

(Statistics courtesy of the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services)

Guns: 1. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes that's 80 million!)
2. The number of accidental gun deaths per gun owner is 1500.
3. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.
(Statistics courtesy of the FBI)

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember: "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."

Fact: Not everyone has a gun, but almost everyone has at least one doctor.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!

Out of concern for the public at large, we have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!
