I have always been a cat-man - there have been one or two rare moments when my household has not included a felinf riend, but the gap has always been filled as soonas decently possible. They have tended to come in pairs, except when we had a promiscuous female feline, who kept us provided with kittens for about twelve years. But notable pairs have been Huntley and Palmer (biscuit manufacturers in UK), Brandy and Soda, and the latest pair, Chaos and Darkness, two delightful pure grey cats (sadly, Darkness has left home and disappeared - I sincerely hope because he has found somewhere that serves three, rather than two, meals a day) We still have a tabby cat, Humbug, who is the daughter of a previous cat, a totally black one, who honoured us with her presence, and went by the name of Gothmog (you need to see "The Silmarillion" for the provenance of that one, NOT "The Two Towers").
Rather a long post, this - but it's your own fault; you shouldn't have got me on to this particular subject!
