And more importantly...are English choirboys still castrated to retain their tone?

HEY HEY!
Thats not on this piece of paper thing!

C'mon guys, two down one to go.

Which accomplished lutenist, who delighted in madrigals had a period instrument named after her?

since a lot of you here seem to be cat experts?

do anyone of you have any advice for kittens (under four weeks old)

Yes...don't have Raine as an owner.

Under 4 weeks old?

Cats shouldn't be kept as pets until over 7 weeks old, and I don't suggest that you take on adoption if you don't know much about them.

^ at a minimum 7 weeks.
besides a teenager should not have responsibility over another life yet.
Unless they are knowledgeable

I would actually love to look after one of the baby animals at the sanctuary, but I'd learn as much about them as I could before hand.

My mum hand-reared a kitty when she was 16, she did an excellent job but it was very hard, you have to get up about 3 times a night and leave someone else in charge while you are at school/work.

which, i highly doubt raine could do.

it's a stray cat. i found it. took it to the spca this morning.
and trust me having me for a owner is the least of its problems. the conditions of the spca . . . . .

you guys talk about me getting the cat declawed. most strays given to the spca are delcawed and spayed. and some never find a home and a nice owner.

besides. i fell in love with the cat and want to take it home as soon as possible. . . .

and tdoc. . . i'm plenty responsible, plus i have the time to train it and find out what tit takes to give a kitten a happy home.

I found my cat [in the woods abondoned so, no one give **** about how I stole a kitten from it's mom. I honestly looked for the mom or other kittens but couldn't find any] at two weeks old. The difference is that it was the summer so I spent all day making sure everything was ok.
