Congratulations on your anniversary! No apologies needed, Kita5399, when there is a milestone to be celebrated. :)
I started a new save and had no luck at all with keeping the cat from disappearing. The save didn't last long. Different world, no gardens, eco stuff turned off, but no luck. And if those storms bring thunder and lightning, I understand why you don't want to be on line when they roll through. I spent some summer vacations on the east coast, and I know how fierce those storms can be. My most vivid memory is sitting in the stands at DelMarVa Race track and watching one roll over the horizon and head straight for us. But no one ran for cover until that race was over. I loved to watch those harness races. And there probably isn't a big crowd on the boardwalk or lying in the sun at Rehoboth Beach this year during this COVID-19 mess. Take care. :)
