...to show off something from my update! ^_^  
this is Ramus from Lunar: The Silver Star game; 
he wanted to own a shop also, and at the end of 
the game he finally opens one.

i really hope that your cats return to you 
safely, as well.  a cat of mine went missing 
about a month ago, and a few days ago a lady came 
to my house asking if i'd seen her black cat.  i 
told her that i hadn't, but that i'd keep an eye 
out for him if she'd keep an eye out for my 
missing black cat, to which she fervently 
replied, "does he have FANGS?!?!?"

lol, long story short, my cat who went missing 
went straight down the mountain to her house and 
has been cozying up with her family for the past 
three weeks.  i went down there and picked him 
up, but he only stayed the night and then 
galavanted his way back down there again the next 
day. =^-^=  what can you do?
