A very happy first birthday to the second of my two cats, the adorable but often mischievous Raul (just because it's his birthday doesn't mean he should wake me up at ten to three in the morning)!

Oh and before anyone asks, my cat Blinky will turn 2 on October 13.

Two cats? My mom only allows me to have one dog. Anyway, you must love those cats a lot. Tell them late happy bday from Dahaka. If your asking why I'm replying in this thread, it's because I love animals, all animals in fact. ;D

PS
Are those fan fict charcters or real cats? ;D ;D ;D

On they're very real, I got Blinky when I moved into my own place in 2003. And you should see him - he's so cuddly and adorable! When I named him after our favorite Android First Class it was a random pick, and if any of the British visitors here are interested I got him at a specialist Persian breeder (yes, I have PERSIAN cats!), I'll give the address to anyone who's interested in getting a Persian.

And Raul? Well, we started to worry about Blinky being really lonely when I go on vacation or even when I do my food shopping, so we got him a little playmate, and yes another Persian. And boy is Raul playful or what? He even comes and scratches at my bedroom door at a most ungodly hour while I'm trying to sleep (the cats aren't allowed in my bedroom in case they mess up my collections)! I was considering getting a little girl cat, but when I went to look for a playmate for Blinky and I went and looked at Raul and his 'family', Raul's twin sister, 'Julia' as I refer to her, had a snotty nose, so we got Raul. We also nickname Raul 'Pokemon' because when he meows it actually sounds like he's saying his own name!

And I don't know if you've heard but my parents' cat Zelda, a Tortoiseshell alongside her twin sister Jenny (you can guess where she got her name from!) and whom I named particularly after finding a certain video game at a car boot sale, died almost a year ago from a heart attack related to the cat flu she had as a kitten. In the last few weeks of her life she breathed really heavily and on the morning of January 20 2004 she keeled over with her tongue sticking out! Luckily my brother was there and so he phoned my Mom, who was at work, and they took Zelda to the vet's but she died en route and so the only 'treatment' she received was cremation. But fear not, for the Princess has been succeeded! Her successor is our third Persian, in fact a direct younger sister of my cat Raul, and my brother has named her 'Crystal'. She is sooooooooooooooooo adorable, and she even knows her big brother's name! "Rrrrrrraul! Rrrrrrrraul!"

A cat saying his own name and the name of other cats . I'd buy my own cat only my mom hates them and I have a dog. You named your other cat crystal right? Did you get it from Star fox? Happy Bday to your cats again ;D

[Righteous Indignation]

Crystal got her name because my Mom suggested naming a cat with a name which when shortened still sounds like a name - and what could 'Chris' be short for? I also think it's a nice name, and even my Mom thinks she looks a little bit like Jenny the Aldeberan Cat! No kidding, we slowly began to notice so when I received my BOH DVD.

So your mom likes watching BoH. Man I wish I had a mom like that. All she does is water plants, go to work, pick me up from and bring me to school or pray (my mom is "holy"). When she watches TV, she'll either sleep or ... sleep. My dad on the other hand always works, even on sundays and when he watches TV he watches old movies. My brother has varsity practice almost everyday so he doesnt get any chance to watch TV. So I'mall by myself watches BoH or things like it. Sigh... Anyway, its freaky enough that your cat speaks english, but looking like a cartoon character is definitely something I'd like to see.
