The Crazy Cat Person Thread

So, after creating the Tea Thread, another passion of mine that I've long intended to create a thread on here is cats. I see that we have no specific thread on cats. To fill this void, here is the AJB Cats Thread. I've taken the thread title from the expression "Crazy Cat Lady" and expanded its remit to make it more "gender neutral" for the modern world. I'm sure that there are just as many Crazy Cat Gentlemen out there as Crazy Cat Ladies, hence the much more inclusive title of this thread. Another expression that one hears a lot of now is that "Cats rule the internet" and this is no doubt true, considering all of the cute videos and pictures of cats out there as well as memes and other modern expressions of the Internet Age. This being so, I thought that it was high time that cats, as animals and pets, had a thread of their very own here on AJB. Hopefully cats will rule AJB too! 
So, this is the space to discuss all aspects of cats (though not Big Cats like tigers and leopards of course!). I myself currently have two cats: a tabby cat called Kitty who was born in 2012 and a black and white kitten called Millie who was born in late July 2017 and whom I have had as a pet since 18 September 2017. Before this, I had (along with Kitty) a cat called Lucy (it was my brother's cat but in later years it came to live with us of its own accord, as we do not own a dog and he does). Sadly, Lucy, who was around 12 years old or so (perhaps a bit older), died on Friday 10 March 2017. Posted below you can see a short video from January 2017 of a rare moment when (rather reluctantly on the part of Kitty) they both shared a cushion on the sofa together for the first time. Lucy and Kitty appear in the order of their names:

So, I'd love to hear of your experiences with cats as pets or even other people's pets, strays etc. So are you a Crazy Cat Person?
Meow!

Blofeld likes his pussies white. (It's supposed to sound that wrong)
If I ever got one, though. It'd probably be a Persian one (or an Angora) but I don't know if I would call him/her "Solomon" (that's the real name from the cat in YOLT).
I expected there to be a few jokes of this kind. It is still AJB after all.
I have had a cat for a month. Her name is Daisy and is 12.5. She is pretty freaking cool. It was not intentional but She matches my apartment which is grey, yellow and white. Daisy was at the shelter for two years. Poor girl. She is not feeling great so I am taking her to the vet tomorrow. I have never really been a cat person but I totally get it now. She really adds to my day.
And this is Neo. He passed away six years ago from cancer.
I was not a cat person growing up. I hated my relatives' cats. Neo was a neighbor's cat. He was friends with everyone in the neighborhood. After his owners got divorced I ended up with him. Neo made me a cat person.
The picture of the bald pussy is not gender neutral either, he has big b@lls
I hope that your pussy is better soon Lady Vesper
@Westward_Drift Neo is quite the handsome fella.
It depends, does the eye bleed?
What about Elle?
(From Kill Bill Vol 1. Not Vol 2. She has no eyes there.)
Leela ( Futurama )
If it were me id call her Wink
Of corse we believe you on dressing up your cat
It was the first thing to pop in to my head after seeing her face, she deserves a cute name bless her
Shot in the dark, I know and you've found better names.
She is sooo cute!

Daisy is beautiful. Hope the trip to the Vet went Okay?
I guess you have a point, Im not a cat and I use a switchblade to open my mail
