He (he?) is beautiful (particularly in the newer pictures).

And re comment #10, my cat’s name actually is Asimov, lol (which confuses all non-SF fans to no end, let me tell you!).

Um, isn’t that how EVERYONE acquires cats? I didn’t know there was any other way to get them. Mine: Montana Wildhack; Castor and Pollux (everyday names were Ditto an Xerox); Zeb; Eddi; The Captain; Telzey (anyone see a theme, here? It applies to the dogs, too: Random, Spotty, Buttercup).

I have read on a pro – spaying site that enough kittens are born each year to give every household one (each year!). I see some of this blogs readers are trying to keep up.

I think George is a fine name. My George was a big 6 toed feline unit and I still miss him.

I can also relate to being a ’sucker’ as I’m kind of a co-adoptive parent of a sometimes-less-than-friendly stray named Sly. I’m never sure whether I’m going to pull back a bloody stump when I try to pet him (he loves to be petted–just not all of the time). Despite his surliness, he has managed to worm his way into my heart as I always feed him when he comes over and worry about him when he disappears. What can I say, he’s got good staff!!

You will be blessed when cats rule the world. You have earned your whiskers in heaven–because, yes, God is a cat.

Oh. Wait. This opens that whole Creashun Museum thing again.

One of my sisters was in downtown San Jose when this starveling stray all but clawed through a fence to get to her. Well, she didn’t need another cat at that point so she took him up to my other sister in Novato. That kitten has since grown up into a truly stunning cat with a long nose and silky gray fur. Name is Kismet. Good name for a cat.

(Now, my older sister had a George once, a chinchilla lop rabbit that was utterly huge. Poor thing was killed by pit bulls, who broke open her cage.)

I’m a cute stray. If I show up in your garage, can I come in, eat my fill and be locked in the laundry room untill I’m de-wormed?

Names…
I vote for Phydeaux

That’s cool. We’re suckers for stray sci-fi writers as well.
