    DEAR ABBY: I am writing to you because I can share this anonymously. I am close to 60 years old and I'm terrified of the dentist. Every time I pick up the phone to make an appointment I get so anxious I feel like I'm going to die.

I'm a sweet and playful boy that loves playing with his toys and loves to cozy up in soft, warm spots. I love to play and cuddle with my siblings and people. I like all kinds of toys, fluff balls, furry mice, crinkle balls, anything and everything is a toy to me.

Tux came to Pet Friends with her buddy Flame last year as abandoned cats. Flame was adopted recently, and Tux should also have a home of her own. She is an adult cat (and eligible for the reduced adoption fee for adult cats), litter box trained and ready for a sunny spot on the floor of her new home. She is ok with the other cats here at Pet Friends, and seems to be non-aggressive with the other cats. Tux is moderately playful, and not an "Underfoot" kind of cat. She might be ok with dogs, and she did seem to adapt to the Pet Friends environment fairly quickly. She will come with her shots, and already spayed; all set for a happy life with a new family. If Tux seems like the cat for you, please call or visit Pet Friends to come see her. See our new website at http://www.petfriends.org/, or call us at 831-634-1191. If you'd like to just come by and help Tux (and other cats and dogs) pass the time waiting for their forever home. Pet Friends welcomes volunteers who would like to help socialize cats and dogs. Walking the dogs is always needed, and cats love to play with the people who visit. See our website for  additional information on volunteering with Pet Friends.
