Lovely.
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Beautiful orange tabby!
Male?

You can tell by my user name that I love animals.

CATS are my top choice for companions.
Above humans, too!
I LOVE THIS BANNER!
I could look at it much longer than a day.

More of the story:

ATP is absolutely to blame for this fur-covered, yowl factory joining our menagerie. See this post (and the broader thread):
http://garden.org/thread/view_...

He has SO many opinions and has no compunction about voicing them.

The rest of the story there is that a few days later, the garden center caught his brother in a live trap and we ended up with him, too. He's called Piper. He's clearly an unintended consequence of getting Fletch, so ATP is prettymuch directly accountable there, too. Thankfully, Pipes (as he is known) is a little less free with his announcements and pronouncements and is a little more demure. Fletch, on the other hand...well...you know when he's around.

They're a neat addition to our house and we're fortunate to have found them. They're great kittens/almost cats...especially when they're asleep.
This is fun: The thread "Asa's former lawn...or (better) Dirt's current gardens" in Garden Photos forum

I don't think he's really grown up yet. He's still really kitten-like. Either that or he's a grown up miniature cat with a nontraditionalforacat outlook on the world. He sure hasn't lost any fun of his plastic cat personality. (Plastic in the malleable, tolerant, participative, taking-it-all-as-it-is-and-comes sense, not the Barbie sense.)

Hilarious!
Well I like him.
I have an orange tabby male about 3- 31/2 years old.
And I like him, too!
He was found alone n the street when he was about 4 weeks.
I hung out with him at the shelter (it's a pretty informal shelter) until he was all vetted and then brought him home.
He quickly learned all of his older brother's moves and now tends to win the wrestling matches.
