As more kitty encouragement (not that I'm that kind of cat person, that will show cat piccies, at the drop of a hat...)
My Maine Coons--the brown tabby is Zep (Zeppelin, for his size and shape, not the band); the silver tabby is Storm. That's Zep holding down the right-hand side of my rather large, old oak desk, in the office. She was the adult that we adopted, when we acquired the brown menace. She's a wonderful, wonderful cat. I mean, they both are, but she's smart as a whip, and if we lived someplace where she could go outside, she'd be a killer mouser. (To encourage those of you considering adult adoptions!!).
Natch, I have kitten pictures, to really lure you into kitty ownership...
