Once upon a time a friend was looking for a cat, and we went over to a foster home. The place was crawling with likable kitties and this black one came up, sat in my lap, and started purring. His name was Jamakee, which I was told was Swahili for "loved by all," (who knows, really) but the name was wrong because this cat loves everybody. I was told his previous owner had died. I managed to walk away that day but about three or four weeks later we saw him again at a pet store adoption. He was priced to move (he was on clearance) so I took him home. He went and hid in my basement's rafters for a few hours but ever since I talked him down he's been nonstop love. He's bonded with my big calico, is very object-oriented (he has a number of stuffed animals he's always carrying around the house and moving) and is always messing with the youngster (even though he's going to be ten years old next year) and he's a joy to have around. I've had him six years now and hope to have him at least ten more. Also I more or less kept the name, but he's Jammie, mostly.  Here he is, checking out a newcomer. He looks like any other black cat. I would take a whole houseful of black cats without hesitation.

   I know, I posted about my black cat ages ago. But he's so handsome I had to give it another go to counter all these tuxedo pretenders.

My black cat is turning into a couch potato. I catch him watching television in the living room.  If the computer is on, he's in between me and the keyboard, but conference calls bore him, luckily (he dozed off by the end of this one). Just gotta be there. He finds bird feeder videos very interesting, too.
