162. Had to show you my babies...
They look JUST like yours! Their names are Petey (gold) and Toby (gray) and are littermates and now 13.5 yrs old. I adopted them from a rescue org in Bay Area when they were 7 weeks old and their parents had been dropped in the night drop of the Oakland SPCA and they were born into rescue 3 days later (fortunately the rescuer intervened as they usually euthanize pregnant animals there!). They have been so much fun and are sleeping on my bed as I type this.

Hmmm - can't figure out how to upload photos.. can anyone help?

Also, I lost my own Rocky, a Maine Coon cat who was almost 17 in Sept. He was my very, very special guy. Seems like we have both politics AND pets in common..

:)
