I am finally able to get a kitty.
So I did.
Say hi to Data. He is an adult stray with yellow eyes.

He is so cute. I want a kitty, but can’t get one right now, alas.

2. My cat doesn’t have a name.
3. Hi, Data

A nameless cat? Well, I guess that makes sense, as I only ever had one cat that would come when he was called anyway.

I thought I was a geek for naming my grey kitten Minerva but I think you topped me with naming yours Data. Sigh. I’ll have to now get another one and name it after some third level character from Lord of the Rings or something.
Hi, by the way.

Awww! 🙂
You should have named him “Spot” 😉
Is he named for Lt Data?
\*Felis Cattus,
is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?

Awwww. What an adorable kitty. Very orange. Nice orange boy.
Good for you for adopting a stray. What a wonderful kitty!

A handsome fellow you’ve got there.
I’ve got an orange cat named Pixel. Is that enough for geekdom?

I named my first cat Princess Alexandra of Denmark. I’m not sure why. She normally answered to Sandy, though (when she bothered to answer at all).

Such a pretty kitty. Reminds me of my mom’s old cat Buster. Him and his brother Butch would follow me around when I took the dog out for a walk. Ah, good times.

I think my next pet is going to be named [Elisha Cook Jr.](http://www.andersonvalley.net/images/falcontrio2o.jpg)
