Micro Micro is our 'pretty girl.' She's about 18 months older than her two adopted baby brothers, Galen and Londo. Although she's 'officially' my cat, Miss Micro is really Doug's cat. Or more specifically, he is her pet. I named her Micro because she was very small as a kitten, I teach microeconomics, and I use microcomputers all of the time. The name seemed fitting. She loves to play with with box flaps and drawstrings, and she personifies the expression, "jumpy as a cat." More pictures.
		Galen Galen is the litter mate to Londo. I named Galen after the techno-mage in the short-lived Babylon 5 spin-off TV series Crusade. He is smaller than his brother, therefore, he is sometimes called "Little." There's no question that he is definitely the dominant cat in the house--by a measure of degree--they all get along fairly well. Galen loves to splash in water, drink out of the sink, "knead" your stomach, and lick plastic bags. If he's not playing with one of his toy mice, he's bull-dozing things off the counters and furniture.  When he was younger no toe was safe from his middle of the night love bites. More pictures.
		Londo Londo is the litter mate to Galen, and he is named after the character Ambassador Londo Mollari of Babylon 5. Although I love all of my cats, Londo holds a very special place in my heart. We share a bond that I couldn't even begin to describe. Suffice it to say he's helped me through some pretty rough patches in my life. Londo is also the most social cat I've ever seen. He has no fear of anyone. However, he isn't exactly the most graceful creature on four legs. And like his brother, he licks too, but he's more likely to lick you (and purr and drool)--especially early in the morning when you're trying to grab that last hour of sleep! More pictures.
