Storm actually looks a lot like Limpet. I don't know much about breeds but there seem to be several types with that silvery graphite/hematite colour to them. I find any grey/silver cat automatically gets fifty free points from me, since Limpet. You're probably the same about orange and white after Sunny.Originally Posted by krazyaboutkatz
And I know what you mean about the orange/white temperament. Maybe its just hearsay or one of those myths that come to seem true because you always notice when something seems to fit it. But every orange cat I've ever heard of from their owners seemed to be that kind of easy-going laid back goofball. I call it the Garfield factor. Limpet was the opposite. She could be really funny because she was so earnest and intent and serious about everything she sometimes missed the point entirely. But I've always loved hearing about cats from the other end of the personality spectrum. I had a colleague once who had an orange tabby, and I used to practically turn her upside down and shake her to get BOSO stories out of her I could take home to my kid. She told me (in an apologetic whisper) that his name stood for Big Orange Stoopid One, but of course they never told him that. They let him think it was Japanese. And he liked it that his name was in CAPITAL LETTERS too
@Malibu's Mom - thanks for the suggestion about Memorials. I don't think I want to write one just yet - it's too formally 'over' to my mind when I do that. I'm probably gonna talk about her a lot anyway, just in a more 'regular' way. In real life I'm getting that effect from people that happens sometimes - they're so achingly sympathetic they completely avoid all subjects related to cats, so it's like she's just completely vanished.
