It took me a long time to replace Hemi, only replace isn't the word. She was one of a kind, so it's more along the lines that I have companions again.

This is Quorra. I found her when she was about 3 weeks old, abandoned by her mother and was going to be put to sleep because she "wouldn't eat" (what a load of crap that was, I took her home and she scarfed down food like crazy)

Sadly she had an Upper Respiratory Infection before I got her, and lost the sight in her left eye due to it.

She doesn't like cameras, so it was hard to get this new pic (yes she is that small, that's an xbox 360 controller beside now 6 month old Quorra. Not a "lap cat" either, she does her own thing and comes strolling over when she wants attention.

And this is Amalia, a purebreed Tortoiseshell. She is a lap cat and craves attention. Though for a long time she was extremely skittish and afraid of everything, sudden movements, loud voices on tv, etc (I believe she came from an abusive home. Sadly many Torties are abused because many people think they're ugly)

I found this photo in the book I just bought, "Air Command, Fighters and Bombers of World War II", Jeffrey L Ethell, and found it reposted on this site:

Now, I don't know how many of you have ridden in a B-25 Mitchell, but it is NOT a serene, quiet place. This cat must have been one in a million to have put up with the noise, vibration, and other "stuff" that happens in a WWII bomber.

a quote from that page:

"[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] This astonishing photo, kindly sent by Kent Jeffrey, shows a cat in the cockpit of an American B-25 Mitchell bomber belonging to the 91st Photo Mapping Squadron, part of the 311th Photo Wing which operated throughout Central and South America. It dates from 1944 and is likely to be the only known photo of a cat in the cockpit of a military aircraft during flight in wartime. The calico kitten was, unsurprisingly, called Kitty, and the photo was taken by pilot Ole Griffith. The circumstances were a move from one base to another, when it was not wished to leave the cat behind — although it was against regulations to fly animals on the planes. Later the picture was published in a magazine and a couple of books, but Ole says he was saved from disciplinary action by the Statute of Limitations (generally 5 years)!"

"My Dad, Col Ole C. Griffith, flew a modified B-25 (called an F-10) for the 6th Air Force in South America. The serial number of his plane was 43-3374. After the war, his plane went to the boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson. It was later taken out, reconfigured as Doolittle's plane, and is now the B-25 on display at the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB"
 
This is Zoe. She'll be 14 years in June. She was the 'runt' of a litter that a friends cat had. Their kids had named her Patches, but my daughter who was 3 at the time wanted to her to be Zoe.

I have a good one of our cat in a box, but I have to download it to my computer. Hopefully I can do it in a few days (it takes a while).

This is crazy. My cat actually picks up it's toys. This is how I find them in the morning. Maybe it's little walnut size brain thinks they need nourishment to play more .

That's funny MVR -- I've got a couple who love to play with hair ties too. Poof will even fetch them, and bring it back and put it right in your hand every time.

This is my baby Randal Graves. He decided to camp out for a few hours and take a nap amidst a customer's headlight bezels. Every time I looked over at him the position was funnier ...

One of ours sometimes eats with his paws.

One of these days I'll catch him with the camera.
