I must bring to your attention a very serious breach of cat posting etiquette here at the Straight Dope. Uncle Cecil’s new column’s been posted up front and he’s answering cat and mouse questions. Believe it or not, there’s not a single, solitary link to a cute cat picture! **Note to Mods:** Hiding this thread in “About Cecil’s Columns” proves collusion. ---

I’ve posted about my cat numerous times without a photo. I shall correct this error tonight. ---

OMG Lobsang, she’s adorable! As are all the rest, of course. Here’s [one of my boys.](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2305/2228954096_16051f56df_o.jpg). He can be the photo for Cecil’s column. He caught a mouse once but only got it all slobbery, until I rescued him (the mouse) and let him outside. Edit: I’m so confused; I put up the wrong picture! \>^.^\< ---

Many of my [cats](http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg172/jlahore/?albumview=grid) being cute. One of the best ones I unfortunately don’t have at work is when my youngest was playing with whipped cream and sprayed it all over (he was 14) when asked to get something to wipe it up, the oldest grabbed Patsie cat and held her while she licked it off of the youngest’s face. Much laughing ensued. 😛 ---
