Yes. One orange wild-looking cat of the male gender.

Edit: And the name is... well, we aren't really consistent. We call him "Rysiek" or "Rysio" which is little Richard in Polish (but works with Eric and a couple of other names if you insist) but also a diminution of the word we have for lynx. And he does look like one.

The only hairy lazy thing around our house is me.

 

Used to own, but not anymore her pregnency drove my cat crazy and my parents got rid of all the cute kitten and the mother. That was four years or so ago.

 

No, but I want one... Damn they're weird creatures! My friend has this black cat that seems to prefer my lap instead of the couch.

 

No, I am allergic to cats.

 

Aye, a female black outdoor kitty. Can't really say I own her, she's definitely her own boss.

 

I'd say the answer is pretty obvious.

 

You mean your cat owns you?

 

I still have my old cat Ghosty. Grey and white and very sweet. She loves the new baby and is always beside him.

 

Nobody really ever owns a cat.

 

My wife has a cat, I hate it, and it hates me.

 

I own two cats.

Venom, male, black-haired Russian Blue/American shorthair, 8 years old.

Doomsword, male, Thai, 4 years old.

 

@Dragonfly: Good to hear you still have Ghosty. I like her just from your tales.

 

Had a small, cute, grey, kitty, but my dogs killed her. Unfortunate, but it is difficult to blame them, for they do not know better. Somehow, the door to the room the kitty was in opened (the dogs cannot do it, so it wasn't them), and they went in and got her. They thought she was a toy, basically, because it appeared that they had picked her up and shook her like they do to their toys.

 

I live with two female, domestic short-hair cats. Cameron is orange and white and fat. Ami is black and slim.

 

Saber that's just plain weird and crazy!

 

@ Chev - Thanks friend . I'm glad that I still have her as well. She used up another life 1.5 weeks ago when she got a uninary infection and I couldn't afford a vet. We made a long-distance call to a vet relative in Mexico and he gave us an amount of a particular antibiotic (for humans) that we had on hand. It worked! I am very grateful.

I like your cat too from the pictures I've seen of him. Almost every orange cat that I've ever met has had a distict, lovable and quirky personality. I imagine your feline friend is as well.

 

I've lived with cats most of my life. The first was a tom called Tommy . I was such an inventive child. I liked to trim his whiskers because they were too long and put his tail in a glass bottle and wind it around the neck.

After him came our motley collection of grey and white Domestic Shorthairs. At one time we fed and housed around 24. Out of one of those last litters I picked a femaled named Chazerey. She begat Cindy, who begat Lucy/Louie, the transgender cat. Rags, a brown/tan and black calico, changed her name from Dominic and palled around with Lucy/Louie.

In here was Pig, a friendly tom with a big head and body and teeny paws and the Immortal Bill, my brother's cat. These 2 came and went as toms do.

Now, my favorites because they were different: Stroker, a grey longhair, and Bill, an orange tiger and progeny of Immortal Bill. Sadly, our evil neighbor trapped these loveable cusses and sold them to the animal research hospital. Our family had its revenge.

After a couple years and a mouse, Mom insisted on a new cat: Gunner. Gunner stayed inside until she escaped and got pregnant. After the 4 kits were born, which I updated my mother via the phone, we adopted Mask, a black and white, and Zorro, black except for 4 white hairs, one on each paw. Gunner got hit by a car and her leg broken when the kits were 1 week old. The stupid vet put her in a cast and told us her skin peeling off is normal. Dumb@$$. Yeah, this is when my faith in people wearing white coats went into the garbage.

Mask and Zorro lived for 13 years until Dad forked over the cash to euthenize the pair. Zorro became quite the b**** and Mask had no teeth to increase her b*****yness. Both were blind, too. Even with these increasingly poor dispositions, they were snuggly and gentle with my daughter. As they grew old, the only man they tolerated was my hubby. Isn't that sweet?

Sarevok is spot on.

 

Oh, yeah, while it's always hidden and is afraid of me, I have a third cat. It's my bro's, but I should add it nontheless. I stumbled on it sooner in the eve, and I must say I had forgotten that one.

Nameless female, Tabby, uhhh... approximatively 6 years old, I believe. My bro took that cat in when he stumbled upon her in an alley, the poor cat was severely injured and my bro's heart started bleeding all over the place and he took the damn cat in. I don't like this cat, neither does it likes me.

A bit off topic, I have two cute, fuzzy, huggable and lovely Pandinus imperator.
