Nthing the "is that a bear"?! at VoodooSchmoodoo's picture. Jesus that cat looks huge.

This is the only picture I have of Cleo; she normally hides from the camera if she sees it coming. In this case she was distracted by a dinosaur.


Cleo was rescued from the pound back in college (stupid college kids moving away and dumping their cats! :argh:) Originally her name was Kala which means black in Hindu(?) according to Rikki Tikki Tavi. It transmorphed to Cleo within about a day. Someday maybe I'll get a goldfish and name it Figaro.

Cleo has little tufts of white hair under each front leg, and a triangle of white hair near her ladybits. It's a weirdly human-style body hair pattern. Also a little tuft on her throat that you can almost see in this picture.

Locally, I've noticed a lot of "sales". Black cats lower priced in October.

Weird. A few years ago my mom was looking for a young cat to liven up the household. She fell in love with a little black kitty at a nearby shelter, but they refused to let her take him home. He was like 6 months old and already neutered so it's not that he was too young. Apparently they had a strict rule of never rehoming black cats during October, period.

I guess they're afraid of weird Halloween cultists who want cats for their death rituals or something. At any rate, they finally let her adopt him in November. She named him Shadow but he apparently forgave her for it. Shadow lives with my sister-in-law now since Mom died so I don't have any pictures, sorry.
