Two of them, both all black. My friend’s cat had kittens and they’ve got more than enough already so we volunteered to take a couple. No names for them yet, as there is dissention among the housemates. I say that Phobos and Deimos are the way to go, but others disagree. Pictures will come if I can either steal my GFs digital camera or if we’re willing to accept camera-phone quality. Feel free to share stories, advice, whatever. ---

Camera phone quality will do until you get something better, but, we need our kitten fix NOW! 🙂 All seriousness aside, congratulations on becoming a pet. ---

Havoc and Chaos are the names of two of our cats! Is that an angry mob I see over there with the pitchforks? In the meantime, a rerun of the [outdoor kittens](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/silenus_/P1010099.jpg). Following the checkmark, left to right, they are: Bandit, TriTip, Chaos, Rebar and Smokey. ---

[http://www.fazed.org/video/?id=312](http://www.fazed.org/video/?id=312) [/QUOTE] I dread to think what the state of the screen would be after those claws had been all over it. I love my cats, and they can play with my toes as much as their little hearts desire, but I would firmly dissuade them from playing with my laptop. 😉 ---

We have an almost-all-black cat named Sal, and he’s great. I wish you many happy years of cat ownership (I won’t say who’s gonna own whom). You’ll probably hear from others, and even though it’s mostly based on urban legends… I suggest you keep your cats indoors around Halloween. Too many crazies out there. ---

I’d like to thank all of you that are posting pictures to keep those like me appeased until our good friend, **Ender\_Will** comes through with his offering. I have mentioned once today, [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=375022) that it was a bad day for the kitty pic rules..and it’s making me [craaaaaazy!!](http://www.mycathatesyou.com/cats/alpha/z/2956) ---

Happened upon these pics last night. The last few in the slideshow aren’t cats, but are cool too. [Really talented photographer, I thought…](http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/36547/overview). Oh, and **Ender\_Will**? Pictures, please. 😃 GT ---
