My cat archy, gone now for many years, attained the age of 21--and if you had asked him, his long life was due to eating watermelon, cantaloupe and avocados whenever he could! He once crashed a neighbor's bbq to eat their watermelon.

What a lovely thing to do! Not creepy and not really a lie either. When I was a kid (long ago) my deer-hunter dad put deer tracks all around the house and even on the edge of the roof one Christmas Eve so we'd think Santa's reindeer had been there. Keep the magic alive!
