I have a cat, and as i’ve noticed, so do a lot of you. I’m just wondering who, exactly, has one (trust me, you’ll be glad you told me when i take over the world) Upham ---

I am the semi - proud owner of a tortise shell tabby my daughter named Spooky: the Thing What Squeeks. Spooky is rather high strung and because she was sideswipped by a car as a kitten she never has mastered the art of meowing, making a weird squeeking noise instead. 🙂 ---

I have 2 cats as well. A 2 year old, Machavelli and a 5 month old, Ryo-Ohki. I have a picture with Ryo on the SDMB People Pages. [http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/bluemonchichi.html](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/bluemonchichi.html) I don’t have my web page up yet, so I have no pictures of Mach to show off. ☹ Boscibo, your black cat looks a lot like my Mach. 🙂 ---

Two Seal Point Siamese: [Schrodie (male) and Sophie (female)](http://members.home.net/n.benedict/picture1.htm). Schrodie is on the left. We kept hoping that he’d grow into his dumbo-sized ears, but he never really did. Well, we still think you’re cute Schrodie! ---

I have a calico DSH female, Patches. Since I don’t have home page (having nothing OF substance to put one), I don’t have a web-accessible photo of her. ---

I have a large, nasty tuxedo cat name Enid. I adore her in spite of her having made several attempts on my life. No pics online at the moment. ---

Nope, no cats. I’m _very_ allergic to felines, which means that my pool of datable women is about a third that of most other men. ☹ ---

Two cats, both gray tabbies. Chili, so named because he farts a lot, and Rocky, who a) flies through the air like a flying squirrel, and b) sits up on his back legs and boxes Chili. ---

I have three cats…Oreo (as thin as a rail and drools), G.C. (who meows constantly) and Dawson (who likes to sit in Christmas trees and use people’s stomachs for trampolines). ---

But 4 of the dust mops lying around the house. and One English Rabbit (Imagine a down pillow that exploded…and you got that rabbit) Not mine. My girlfriend is some kind of insane fiend to make sure cat hair gets EVERYWHERE. I have found it in the freaking refridgerator for God’s Sake. The cats are all a longhair persian variety. I am in CAT HELL ---

I have one cat, a lanky tortie named Tabithina. She is very soft-spoken, and her meow sounds more like “meeple”, when she feels moved to speak. She was sitting in my lap when I decided to join the SDMB, so I borrowed her name. 🙂 ---

2 cats of advanced years share our domicile: Catfish (hunterthompsontheheadlessmachinegun,etc.) who is a sweet old mama cat, & Blaise, who is fat, (13 lbs) old, (13 yrs)and can still jump 4 ft. straight up. Watching him birding is roughly equivalent to seeing Teddy Kennedy setting a new pole vault record. Typical comment from the neighborhood kids: Is you cat pregnant? No, he’s draggin His belly on the pavement on purpose. ---

So what was it that gave me away? The cat hair on my clothes? The scratches on my hands? The faint smell of catnip that surrounds me? (Okay, so it isn’t catnip - but I think the plants are related.) I call my 13-year-old orange tabby “Pumpkin,” but I believe he tells other cats it’s just a pet name and his REAL name is much cooler and sexier…say, Dennis. I’m pretty sure his name for me is “First Feeder,” while Mr. Mayo is “Other Feeder.” ---

Well, I HAD a beautiful, sleek, black kitty by the name of Sohco, but when I moved back down to help my parents out, he decided that He didn’t like living in THIS nice fenced in backyard and hightailed it out of here. I guess he wanted his kitty friends from my old place, where he would frolick and sleep and only come to see me when he was hungry. _sigh_ I miss my kitten! TruePisces ---

(and a dog and a turtle). One of our cats died in November; she was all black with green-gold eyes. Our other three are a brownish-gray striped kitten, a fat tuxedo cat, and two fat fluffy cats. I’ll ask my daughters to find on-line pictures for me from their websites later. -----🙂 —////\\ ---

We have one cat. Basje (female non-pedigree) is just recovering from an operation on her uterus. Since she cant walk yet i carry her around the house so she can observe whatever we are doing (her favourite passtime) ---

I am maid and servant to two male grey tiger tabbies, “Ruckus” and “Havoc”. If they could open cans, they wouldn’t need me at all. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-of-you-have-cats/47478.md?page=2)
