I haven't figured out how to post a picture (mainly, I can't find the wire that was supposed to attach to my camera and to the computer) so I can't show you our cats yet, but there are two, both neutered shorthair males:
Oreo, 15 years old, black & white bicolor, Mommy's boy;
Macaroon (called Mackie), 8 years old next month, orange classic tabby with white, Daddy's boy.
Both were adopted as kittens: Oreo from a friend whose cat got out, Mackie from a friend at church whose family was fostering a mother and her litter from a humane society. They manage to coexist well enough (as long as Mackie behaves himself), but when we first got Mackie we were treated to the spectacle of a 2-lb. kitten chasing a 14-lb. cat around the apartment; all Mackie wanted to do was play (having had 4 littermates) and wouldn't take no for an answer, and Oreo had become a middle-aged stodge who never had littermates, being the sole survivor of a small litter, and wanted no part of this newcomer and his shenanigans. Even now, when they touch noses warily, I wonder what it is they're saying to each other!
