And to top it off...

Wow, that is quite the day. You deserve a long weekend.
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. It's great to have a male weigh in on some of these issues. (Especially one who regularly changes the toilet paper rolls!)
I leave for NZ in 2 weeks. I wil see if there is any other feline urine available.
I.
