No reason to use a screen name when you’ve got a real name like mine! BTW, JellyBean is her real name, too. But we call her JellyBeast.

Pyrit, everyone knows that cars are girls, so I hope it was short for Theodora.

My brown tabby has that same collar!

Ok, pic of Jabba kitty: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shelleytambo/316774979/

Poor guy can’t close his mouth all the way because one of his bottom teeth sticks out. Will still try to get chug pic.

My brother-in-law had a car named Theo. That is an r, not a t.

I was looking at this post from my office and lamenting the fact that I have not been able to cuddle a cat for months when what do I see on my space bar – a real live cat hair!

Magic!

Maybe if I concentrate very hard, the rest of the cat will appear!

Lenore — aaaaaand of course “Lenore” also happens to be your *real* name. D’oh… you’d think I’d be more alert to this sort of thing. Glad I didn’t make *fun* of it, at least.

Is there anybody in the world with a cat and a computer who hasn’t had the cat in their lap when at the computer, at least once?

That may be the most rhetorical question ever.

(I have Moxie in my lap right now. He is purring. He approves. Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.)

Theo – I’ve known cats named Theo, so I guess that makes it ok for you to use Lenore for a kitten. Glad you like my name. And my blog. And my oreengeness!

Yay! Jellybean’s an oreengeness! I LOVE the dictionary picture too.

Aubrey, Theo, et al.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

And yes, in the interest of full disclosure that’s my very own oreengeness Fergus in the lineup of cute.
