I just picked up a new camera about 3 weeks ago (yes, mostly so I could take better pictures of my cats
). Now that I have a camera with optics that can take a decent picture in room light and a fold-out LCD screen I can hold it at arms length and get some pretty decent shots. Here are some pics of each of my 4 cats sitting on my lap:

This is Tre, my oldest:


This is Promise, my youngest:


This is Tiny, my largest
:


And here's Thufir, my fluffiest:


Here's another shot of Thufir pretending to be a big baby:


The fur on his belly was all matted up so I had it shaved last week.

They're all adorable... but Tre's face, headshape, ear set, etc.... made me think of American Shorthair - the pedigreed version of the short-haired moggies we all know and love. But I am no expert... rounded face ... shortened muzzle, smaller nose, round eyes.. etc.


I mean, w/o papers it doesn't matter.

And I love Thufir's fuzzy pink shaved belly.

Wow I love these pictures. I like the name 'Promise'. I've got two kittens at the moment called Secrets & Tales so that will definitely have to go on the list!

I don't really know to be honest. His history is: "I got him from a friend who, got him from a friend who, rescued his fuzzy butt from the pound." (that's in quotes because it sounds just like an old Bee Gees song to me, but it's accurate.
) I don't know anything about him before that.

I had a girlfriend once who always used Promise for all of her online accounts. When I saw that sweet little black and white kitten it popped into my head immediately. To this day I'm not sure if I meant, "I promise to take care of you," or "You show a great deal of promise," but either way it has been accurate so far.

Thanks. Now if I can just figure out why I can't get any work done on my computer.

I agree! The only difference that jumps out at me is the little bit of white on the upper lip. Have you decided if (s)he is Wil or Wilma yet?
