I hope you can discourage him from spending time in the fireplace box.  That could be very messy (sooty).

Just wanted to post an update, especially since I just took some really cute pics! Crash is still doing well.  Has definitely settled in well.  The first and last pics include a favorite toy..."Mr. Squeekers." It squeeks when touched/batted at.  I wasn't even trying to match his fur!  And yes, he does like walking ON my keyboard as I'm typing, writing and so on!

Congrats on the cats

I actually too got 2 new roommates that needed new home on last valentines day. The other ones a ~6yo one eyed pirate girl, and the other a ~8 year old dude: link.

Cute pics LJG!

My cats have always liked homeade toys the most for some reason. My current cat likes to play with drinking straws that are curled up or interlocked. He likes to put them in his food and water bowls all the time for some reason too, sometimes there are 5 or 6 sitting in a bowl. He's a bit weird.

Kitten? No. Wild? Yes! I admit I spoil him just a bit...but hey, it was Easter and his b-day (I know the day that they found him, so consider it that) and in our family pets get gifts...*grins*  I'm sure he'd be happy with homemade toys, too, but my shoe strings protested as did the ones on my pants.  He's not as organized, though, his toys are scattered throughout the house.  Every once in a while, we'll gather them up and dump them in his cat bed.  Within a day, he's played with them all again and moved them back to the other spots.  The funniest is the plastic toy dinosaur that one of the nephews left behind that he's claimed for himself!

He's actually sitting on my hip right now, helping me type. I sit on my side mostly, so he climbs up and lays down.  When he gets bored, he just starts chewing my knee.

@Whispering: Basement cat!  Aren't they fun? Crash definitely keeps me entertained and I hope your two new ones do the same for you! 

What is it with people and cats at this forum? It's the same at DVD collectors online.
Maybe Invelos should make a Cat Profiler program.

Cat profiler, hmm, well, I only have the one, so it'd be a pretty small program, but I'm sure a few others could get some use out of it!  And cats are great...they're just as quirky as their dvd collecting owners.

I don't know about any of the other cats that belong to Profilers, but mine likes watching tv.  He'll sit in front and watch. His favorites so far were the Jungle Book (he'd start pawing at the monkeys) and he LOVES Top Gear. I think it's the accents. Or maybe the revving cars.

What cute pictures of your kitty.  I missed seeing them when you first got him.

I have 4 cats.  My friend just got one on..umm....Tuesday from the shelter here.  A black and white 6 month old boy he named Sheldon.  I don't have any pictures of him..but I probably will eventually. He's settled in pretty good already.  He's very lovable.
