Yep... that's "Stinky".  He's originally called "Dippy1" (or Dipstick Cat
#1 - cause we've got two mostly all white cats with a completely black
tail and a few dalmation type spots).  He has a Nike logo checkmark adjacent
to the right ear much like Mikail Gorbochov just above the eyebrow of his 
right eye.  He came by the name "Stinky" all on his own if you know what I 
mean.  Talking about *bombs*.  Man!.  He can be a real pest at the keyboard
sometimes.  When he is a keyboard pest, what comes out almost looks like I'm
typing in tonuges as the Spirit gives keystrokes ;-D.

We've also got Stinky's brother (Dippy2) "Helmut".  One of his dalmation
spots is a spot that covers his head much like a bicycling helmut covers
a bicycler.  He also has larger dalmation spots.  He loves to play with little
things on the floor.  One time, a few weeks ago (it must've been Christmas 
time), he knocked over a box of packaging material that's the equivalent of
the cardboard-type egg-cartons cut up into their own egg holding sections.
These were green in color.  I think he keeps a stash of this packaging 
material because I'm always seeing him drag one of these around in his 
mouth (like a mouse).  He puts it down on the kitchen floor then bats it
around for several minutes like he's catching a mouse that's running from
him.

We've also got a female cat named "Jeeves".  She's the runt of a litter.
Always so small.  A grey medium length hair with a smattering of a calico
brown modeled into her fur (much like a carpet has different colors modeled
into it).  She's been fixed and declawed.  And she's really wierd.  I don't
know what it is, but I think she need more cellulose in her diet.  Yep!  
That's right!  Cellulose!  More often than not, that cat will be laying on
a paper bag (from the grocery store), sitting next to a cardboard box,
sitting on a newspaper ...... gnawing on these paper products.  If you want
to know if Jeeves has been around, just look for teeth marks on the paper
products, boxes, etc.

We've had cats that:  bounce off of walls (in zaniness), eat peas, eat 
doritos, bring us dead animals to our porch (mice, birds, and rabbits),
fetch, open doors, jump in plastic bag and then before getting out of the
plastic bag run all over the house trying to get out, do backflips trying
to get toys barely held out of their reach, tried to jump through windows
in an attempt to get birds on the outside only to end up with a puzzled 
look on their face when they hit the glass, a self-appointed alarm clock
of my oldest daughter by licking her face in the morning when it's time
to get up, one of our declawed cat would swipe at my youngest daughters
ankles (that was "Judah Ben Fur") out of spite, attempt to climb a tree
backward being without front paw claws, back in at our home in IL - they'd
squeeze out of a window on the 2nd floor and walk around on the roof all
night long, jump in a partially full bath tub, sleep in sinks, drink out
of toilets, say "No" and "Mom", drink Mountain Dew, one would sit on the
back of a chair and rub and roll her head against whomever sitting in 
the chair, watch tropical fish from ontop of a cooler placed next to
the aquarium...... and it can go on and on.....
