It's amazing isn't it how easy it is to interepret cat body language? ;-)
They are SO expressive.

<grins> I can imagine.
I have one big yellow stripy tom named "Garfael" that weighs about 14
lbs. He's not obese tho', he's just BIG!

Huh! I have a small long haired dark tiger with white markings that has
the poofy hairs between the toes. (his name is Horus and he weighs about
4 lbs.)

Manx's also tend to have extra toes.

Huh. Didn't think URL's were that case sensitive?

Emily looks a lot like my big Lilly girl. :-)
She's a real "face" kitty and loves kisses.

Uh, no, the dog is a slave to _you_.

Dogs worship their owners. Control freaks like that.

Dogs have owners, cats have staff. ;-)
But cats do return love unconditionally, and they are also good
listeners, as well as being psychic as all get out.

You hate cats?
I was not referring to being physically abusive.
Most cat haters I've known (not all, there are exeptions to every rule)
tend to be psychological abusers...

What? You can psychologically abuse a cat? I've never heard of it,
but I guess it could happen with a cat that is a house captive.

It's hard to see in that pic but there's a strong tinge of brown to that
grey.

She does to a certain degree. She's the best mouser I've ever met but
she doesn't eat them. Instead she rips their bellies open and then hides
them in places like the couch, etc. First there's the un locatable
smell, and then you're flipping cushions one day and there's this
mummified corpse of a mouse that pops out.

Cosimo is another mouser but he just wounds them and yowls for one of us
to come and get rid of it. I don't know how many of you have ever seen a
cat as large as Cosimo do a pouncing move, but it's the funniest thing
you'll ever see.

Polydactilism is a trait that's particular to New England of all places.
History indicates that seagoing cats tended to be Maine Coons and as
they interbred that trait got passed along.

You can use mixed case in URL's - it's just that the crappy Kodak camera
I used to take those insists on naming everything .JPG - needless to say
I don't use it anymore.

My $25 CVS digital camcorder interfaces to my computer very nicely. It's
not the highest quality video but for the price it gets the point
across.
