Is that your hand in the background?
I once had a cat named DOS, for the program/os/whatever, and because he was **D** aughter **O** f **S** moke. I thought it was clever.
I also had an orange cat, sort of like yours, except oranger, I called him California, because that is where oranges grow. š

Yup, He gots yellow eyes. I almost did name him Spot.š
And just because I love kitties. I adopted two kittens yesterday. A family I know had two kittens they couldnāt give away. It was either me or shelter. I figured, hey I got plenty of room!
They are named Bill and Beatrix. š And my place in the geek corner is assured.
They all have to go to the vet tomorrow. ā¹ Thatās gonna be fun.

Like it was ever in doubt. š
Cute kitty. Looks like a purrer and an ass-raiser. (Cat owners know what this means.)

Yup! I lived, but Data panted the whole way.

The kittens didnāt mind the car or the carrier at all. Good Kittens. š

OH! And Data is still a little stressed from all the deworming and shooting.
The kittens still arenāt speaking to me.
All are FIV negative. ;j

You are so sweet to adopt a grown cat. They have such a hard time finding a good home. Hi Data - I hope you have a long and happy life with **Torie**! We adopted a rather large fuzzy orange cat about a year ago (āHooverā) and several months ago my daughter brought us another orange near-adult cat that was on its last day at the Shelter (had the kill-this-one spot on his head and everything, but DaughterSnugs snuck him out). The 4-year-old grandson named him āStone Evan.ā Orange kitties are so cool.

Hi Torie and Hi Data!!
I miss having Data living at the place, but I think Josh mightāve gone crazy with him here. Thanks for giving such a great cat a good home.

Yeah, my Jesper did that when I took him in to the vet.
Daisi just pissed the cat carrier. :rolleyes:
I need to take my lilā bad bastards back soon, just for the regular checkups.
