MRAW!

Yes, I know. Many, many websites are devoted to cats, but if I didn't have cats, I'd never be able to finish rolls of film, and then I'd be my parents, with two different Christmases on a single roll of film.

Kat File under C for Cat Kat peering from a large paper bag Kat Book-end. Quack.

Kat was our first feline. We got him on 1 July 1998. He doesn't particularly like people, but is becoming more friendly as he gets older. He also insists on being in the bathroom when you shower. Kat is also far more photogenic than Kit.

Kit was our second feline. Michael and my mom coerced me into getting her Labor Day weekend in '99. I really did not want another cat, but they kept going on and on about how cute she was, so I finally broke down and agreed. She may be cute, but she sure ain't smart.

Slate was my parents cat who, at 17, decided she was tired of being an outdoor cat and really wanted to be an indoor cat. So she moved in with us. Kit and Kat both hated this, but dealt with it. Slate died 19 March 2004 at the age of 18.

Cat Genetics This is an interesting page of cat coat color genetics--or more reasonably, why only female cats are calico and tortie.

Cat Pigments More on cat genetics and why cats are black on the top and white on the bottom.

Cats and Plants Of course Kat has sampled several plants on this list. (sigh) Dracenia can't be that poisonous, because he ate an entire plant in one sitting.
