About a year ago, yes a grey and white one, (this one ->

13 black cats, obviously hoping that the superstition of 13 and a black cat crossing your path, cancel each other out. The one in my current avatar, managed to compress about 18 years of cat life into 3, we do miss him, along with the others that have lived with us and managed to run out of lives, Creamsicle, Blackberry (actually Blackberry Chinchilla Cheesecake), Misty and Dusty.
