I do like tuxedo cats! Queequeg is 17, but looks and acts much younger. When I got him I was reading Moby Dick for an English class I was taking. Queequeg is a character in the book that really impressed me. It's kind of a long story as to why though, which I wouldn't post here but could PM it to you if you are interested.

I am trying to post an actual picture of him but can't figure it out. I have the picture in Photobucket, as you are supposed to do upload photos but it is not working for me.

Hey, I did it finally! Well, here he is, in all his Queequeg glory!
