misscatlady -- {{{HUGS}}} to you and lexi.  I'm glad the lesion looked like a benign cyst (and hope the path comes back that way) but I'mm sorry they had to amputate the leg.  Although it it was giving lexi a lot of pain at least that won't be an issue any more.  My SIL had a 3-legged cat who did just great!  Even managed to catch a mouse! (one of the front legs was amputated).

Is the sun porch finished?

My new computer, it's a 17 incher, I'll let you know how well it works in a couple weeks.  If it can play CEs without lagging/stuttering I'll be a happy girl.
MissCatlady, I'm glad Lexi is recovering well, but I can imagine how weird it is to see her with 3 legs.  It'll take a lot of getting used to, but I'm sure she's happy she's not in pain anymore.  It just sucks having to make major decisions like that and not being able to ask or explain to your pet.  I'm sure my boys are still mad at me for having their privates cut off

Wow, this is the computer I was thinking about getting. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on it. My dad wants me to pick out a laptop for my birthday. He knows I've been wanting one.

Lexi is home now and doing well. He is doing so much better. Already we see a huge difference in her. She is much more alert and happy. While it's sad that she had to lose her leg, it was probably the best thing for her.
 

People have very visceral feelings about animal helpers in games.  The new one has a cat.  And it is very apparent looking at the page that it has a cat.  Some posters said as soon as they saw that they deleted.  Personally I don't get that.  This could be a great game but you are going to kick it to the curb because of an animal helper? I haven't ever thought of it as pandering to anyone having them.  Does it make people more likely to buy? I don't know.  It does seem to make some people not want to buy though.  They don't bother me at all, and some are quite useful.  Like the little dragon from Burnt Dreams.  (He is now my screen saver).  As for buying things and dressing animals, most of the games that is an option and you don't have to do it.  But they are handy like Elf for getting in to tight spaces and digging holes.  And others for climbing  trees or flying to things.  It doesn't make or break buying a game for me.  Some games thery're useful some not. I can only think of one time that I found a helper very annoying and I couldn't tell you what game it was.

What do the rest of you think about these little helpers?

I don't see any flak in tookats thread, just one person expressed dislike, but I think she started the thread for the lovers of the animal helpers. Her thread was what made me ask if people here had any definitive feelings about them.  I don't think her thread should create any controversy, if people don't like them they shouldn't bother posting in that thread.
