| Top and Lucas - Author's Picture |
The picture shows Top and Lucas. Lucas is a tabby, and Top was a flame-point white Siamese. Lucas is still around, at the time of this writing, while Top passed away around the age of 18. Top was "my" cat, by his choice. I still miss him and think about him quite often.
