Hi everyone, About a week ago, I made a thread regarding the potential acquisition of two feline overlords. I am happy to report that while I did not get two, I did get this guy. It’s kitten season at my local humane society so the adoption was free! He’s even chipped. Meet Toby!

Please let me know if they don’t. They’re also videos, and they should work in Windows Media Player as well as any other conventional choice (VLC, etc.) Let me know if they don’t! They’re also pretty small (I think the biggest is 30MB). He’s extremely inquisitive and loves checking out every little nook and cranny! I’ve had trouble sleeping the past few nights, and I’m fairly sure that he’s most active overnight (oyyyy…) I think his most striking feature is his eyes. Such a gorgeous golden color. Haunting, in a way! ---

It must have been downloading in the background as I had a ginger cat flashing in front of me while he was rolling around in the shower. I used to have a ginger cat like that called “Marmaduke”. That cat of yours is a sweetie. ---
