I would go to the vet asap : the problem with a new cat from nowhere is that it may have feline leukemia which would spread to your cats.
She needs to be tested.

I personnaly smile when you say you're dating when you've never seen each other in person.

I agree with Wildcat : how can you say she's perfect when you've never really seen her ( in person, not...

I agree with Myth.
The friend wants to get all the attention because she's supposedly organizing the shower. Then she should also get all the attention for the mistakes.

Hi guys,

For a couple of weeks now, my in-laws have noticed a big male cat ( not neutered yet ) running free in their neighborhood. They asked if the cat belonged to somebody. Nobody had seen that...

I agree with everybody here who said that " loving " someone for their money is WRONG!

So, yes you are a PY for both.

Now, PA is easy because there is a tax rate ( 3.07% ). As a PY for...

I would say you are a PY as you moved to CT during the tax year ( but that may depend on your visa : see the 3 examples from the CT webpage : http://www.ct.gov/drs/cwp/view.asp?a=1462&q=271750

I think you are a PY as you moved to CT.

I think the problem here is that Nonresident alien may mean two very different things :
