I've already given orange buddy the run of the laundry room. He somehow doesn't seem to connect me with ANY of this...instead, I think he's decided that I'm his mother. Seriously. He might be the most affectionate cat I've ever seen. He will not stop purring and just wants pets (too funny, I just got back from a concert, and he would run to his towel/bed - then run back for more pets, then bed, then pets, til he finally passed out mid-trip)

And I may have confused some of you earlier, but he was definitely born in my backyard...his mother got fixed today, too. So I'm quite happy that he seems to be content inside!
