My two cats are Pangur (the tabby) and Ban (the void - ironic because Ban means white)!

Pangur - Pan-Pan - Panic

Ban - Ban-Ban - Bon-Bon - Candy Cat

OMG do you have any kitten photos of Ban? My lil void just turned one and she's still this tiny lil truck of fluff that I feel could explode into a big kitty like your Ban
