Shaved Cats & Found Money



From the title, you might think this is just a re-run of yesterday's piece. Nope.

However, so many of you had interesting stories concerning your own shaved cats (or opinions, like mine, concerning the shaving of cats, period) that I thought I'd keep the topic open and fresh.

Like a wound.

So, feel free to keep spouting off in the "comments" section.

The other topic yesterday was that of finding money on the street. Here's a simple question that everybody can answer, and please do so:

What is the largest amount of money you have ever found?

You may wish to tell where you found it; whether or not you searched for the owner; what you did with it, assuming you kept it; and any other pertinent and/or humorous details. If you have such a long story that you feel the need to put it up on your own blog, please include a link to this page so that we can all share.

Let's see if I can start the ball rolling.

The largest amount of money I ever found was a twenty-dollar bill. I found it in a supermarket parking lot. I was only a teen, so it was a huge find. I did NOT attempt to find the previous owner - I think it probably would have been near impossible, anyway. I spent it on comic books, candy bars, sodas, baseball cards and an actual baseball. I think I may have also bought some catnip for my (unshaven) cat.

There you go. Have at it! See you Monday.
