"Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: "What does his voice sound like?" "What games does he like best?" "Does he collect butterflies?". They ask: "How old is he?" "How many brothers does he have?" "How much does he weigh?" "How much money does his father make?" Only then do they think they know him." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

• Jett : all black siamese cross cat. My first pet; she was a year or so older than me, I believe.
• Two-wit & Motor : two senior (when I met them) seal-point siamese cats. They were my step-dad's when we moved in with him.
• Fish . So many fish. My step-dad wouldn't let us get any other pets (the siamese had to be put down about a year after we met them). I had a few of my own beta's (siamese fighting fish) (not at the same time) but I can't remember what I named them.
• Augustus & Fellini : Augustus was a gorgeous bengal cat and just my biggest love. I miss him times a hundred. Fellini is a tiny tiny seal-point siamese cat. My stepdad decided to get furred pets again and got those two boys. Unfortunately we think a coyote or something was the end of Gus. My stepdad took Fellini when he & my mom split.
