Hi Leonard,

This is the biggest baby you've ever met.  He's a Russian Blue, so he looks 
far more serious than he is.  Also, there were probably some children or 
kittens in the yard - he tends to frown on either, but tolerates them quite 
well for an old fellow.

His nature is kind, loving and quiet.  When Michelle and I went to get a 
kitten, Mother's Day 1996 (we'd been married but a month, so this was to be 
her baby) - we saw a litter of out-of-control three week old kittens going 
at it as kittens do.  There was one asleep in the midst of all the others. 
Michelle picked him and named him Theodore - so I wouldn't be tempted to 
name our "next" male that.

He traveled by car with us for a month as we followed the Olympic torch down 
I-40 (quite by accident, I was reporting for duty in Georgia).  By the time 
we got to a home, the cat was a certified lap cat and completely worthless. 
He's been that way ever since and my bride wouldn't have him any other way.

Jeff M
