Beelzebusby ("Buster") in a fang-tastic moment. We adopted this little fiend in 1999 from the same rescue organization as Luci. Of course, that's not strictly true: he adopted me. I brought him home the day I met him (clandestinely, as the Mrs didn't think we needed another cat), because he made it quite clear that he loved me from sniff one and would accept no excuses: I'm a sucker for black cats anyhow, and I think he could tell.
Buster turned into a very protective boy within a year; there are very few that he'll let up the stairs without a rather impressive challenge.
