Bebelina,
Interesting that we both had sibling black cats. We only made it up to 3 and the third was a bit of a wonderful but patience trying accident. She was one of those needy strays that you had to love ... and sometimes hate as she would tirelessly keep jumping into your lap until you petted her and never exactly learned good manners if you know what I mean. She didn't even have an agreed upon name - baby, scraps, jallopy, and even sh*ty-kitty (a mean one joke that was used when she demonstrated her lack of training). I miss her too, but she died 5 years ago and we didn't have her for 14+ years like reg (and she also didn't die in the back of the car as I was sped to the vet like reg. It was the most traumatic experience of my life - his last minutes were far from peaceful).
Cleo's a great name, my first and middle names are both straight out of the bible and entirely too common. Maybe I should pick up a general psuedonym like Bebelina ...
Hoth,
You have a black cat too? Wow, if I didn't know better I would be surprised so many people have black despite the myths - and myths they are - my cats were nothing but good luck.
Sorry about the off topic rambling, I just miss my kitties and lo looks a lot like cleo (I just wish I thought a cat might be happy stuck in my little apartment) ...
