I, personally, like both. And mine all get along just fine. And also - not ALL cats are aloof. Independent, yes. But Baby was VERY affectionate. If I made a lap, he was there. If I laid down, he laid on me. When I slept, he was on my pillow with me. And he even LOVED going for a ride! Merlin, while not a 'lap cat' still LOVE affection and play and car rides. So there you 'poo-pooers of cats. ------------------ The day we stop learning is the day we start dying!(c) *Member of the HADB clan. Mage extraordinair.

My personal favourites are skinny black cats with big amber or green eyes. I go all gooey over 'em and they always seem very affectionate, with no tendencies to nastiness at all. ------------------ |

Larry, Glad to hear he's already neutered and it sounds wonderful! You sound like a very good pet person! Now, does then cat control the tv remote or is he gonna share that? Mine are currently re-training me to wake up and adore their furry selves a half hour before I have any desire to be conscious so I'm trying to get them to find another hobby!

At least the odds are reasonable for you Cloudy. I have eight little monsters to whom I have finally submitted... I fought, I tried to resist, but I was finally overcome. I'm just a slave to the feline empire...

Fljotsdale - Actually, Merlin (I spell it Maerlynn, but that confuses some people as to the pronunciation ...) is a 'tuxedo'. You know, mostly black w/white paws, white on chest and belly. He's also got this really cute little bit of white on his lower jaw at his mouth and it looks like he dribbled milk on his chin!
He's only 'mean'ish because I used to play a little roughly with him when he was a kitten. Now that he's bigger, it's not so cute. But he also knows when he's gotten too rough. If I say "ow!", or "enough" or even just make that 'hissing intake of breath' sound, he stops immediately. He also does a very cute trick of standing up on his hind legs when he wants to see something or I have a treat. He makes these little kitten squeaks and for that my husband often calls him "Squeaker". BTW - my other pets are ALSO black and white. See a pattern here? Also, Baby was a tuxedo and many of my cats throughout my life were black or black and white. One of my faves (behind only Baby and Merlin) was a Siamese - chocolate point! That's why I like Ziroc's cat so much and tease about "worshipping" him. Siamese are SO demanding. Our outside cat is an Orange Tabby-point Siamese with the most BEAUTIFUL blue eyes! Also - Cloudy: Cool! We both named one of our cats Merlin! Great minds and all that, huh? Sorry to hear about your cat situation. I really feel for y'all. Losing Baby was very hard on me because I had to take him to be put down when his tumor 'grew back'. Time will heal. Just remember the fun times.

Did you do this to yourself (take in bunches of strays), or was this brood thrust upon you by a preggers momma cat? My parents took in what they thought was a 3-month old stray male kitten once. SHE was 6 - 9 months and pregnant! We ended up with her (solid black), a chocolate Persian, two tuxedos and a Siamese!!! What mayhem must ensue at your once-peaceful (?) domicile! ------------------ The day we stop learning is the day we start dying!(c) *Member of the HADB clan. Mage extraordinair.
