thanks, lizbeth..i like them, too. heehee.

that is a really neat thing to hear. thank you so much.

yes, good call! blue point persian, himalayan and rag doll. their parents were show cats..which is probably why they did not live as long as they should have...14 years..like royals, all inbred and that...i was hoping for 19...but, so ding dong charismatic! clever, too. i'm glad that you have such good company, RavenCT- give'm a snuggle for me?

@nightowl Current hams shown. And yes I will.

@RavenCT well, excuse ME, cat number one!

@nightowl That's Heath - he has a soul patch on his chin. He is the big cuddler of the three. lol

hear, hear!!!! nimitz- east bay denzien? pees heee or peesh ee?

@nightowl, no Nimitz was after the intelligent alien cat in David Weber's Honor Harrington series.

Peeshee with a /sh/, but that's an Americanization. People couldn't pronounce Piciw, which means bobcat in Abenaki. And that first sound is actually intermediate between our /p/ and /b/.

@TaraMarshall fascinating, truly! im still trying to pronounce...

awwweeeeeeee! i heard somewhere that siamese are talkers and that most black cats have plentyof siamese in their make-up, as well. for i've never met a black cat that didn't do the coolest stuff (pose for pictures; you guys dressing up cocoa...and lots of chatter)! enjoy the cosmos, you motley crew!

hee hee- i get a picture with each name...in my head, that is. i raise a glass of collagen spiked water to their memories and a hug to your ticker...

@nightowl Thanks, that's very sweet.
