The newest addition to my family... Xerxes!

[CaptainChewbacca]

So, I've been thinking about it for a while, and today I got a kitten. 10 weeks old, and a whirling tornado of claws and adorable:



Do not cross Xerxes...



Or he will take your chair.

More pictures to come when he holds still long enough while doing something adorable.

[Kodiak]

I dare say he's in your chair, taking your naps.

All hail Xerxes!

[Superman]

Thank Gods, Chewie. I thought you were going to say that you discovered that you have a son, and that you named him Xerxes.

Gray with black stripes is my favorite kind. I grew up with one like that. Cool kitten!

[Havok]

Agreed. That is one bad ass kitten. If I actually liked cats, I would want one that looked like that. Good job Chewie.

[Raesene]

Cute kitten, congratulations. I think he brings you joy -and scratched furniture, chewed on cables...

[CaptainChewbacca]

He's perfected the art of coming over the back of my desk chair while I'm playing World of Warcraft, but he slept on the foot of my bed and purred all night.

[Samuel]

Any reason why you named him Xerxes?

As for pictures... get him to attack a banana!

[The Yosemite Bear]

Wait until he has to face down 300 mice in red capes with little tiny spears.

he's a cat, and thus a star god.

[Sriad]

Named after

I assume.

[Mr Bean]

It could be the Other Xerxes, the crazed AI from System Shock II

With such memorable lines as...

"This is Xerxes. Can you not feel the glory of the flesh? Do you not yearn to be free of the tyranny of the individual?"

And who can forget..

"Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one."

...we will know which if the next pet gets named Leonidas or Shodan.

[CaptainChewbacca]

He was named after the Persian Xerxes. I hadn't ever seen the dog poster before.

[White Haven]

Oddly enough, I came within a day of being named Xerxes by my mother.

Public school would have sucked tremendous ass, but I coulda dug it afterwards.

[Thanas]

Don't ever let him travel to Greece.


Seriously though, that's a beautiful kitten. I especially like the fur pattern on the back.

[Imperial Overlord]

He's adorable.

[CaptainChewbacca]

I'm at the computer a good chunk of the day, so Xerxes has gotten a new 'default' position:







I expect he'll turn up soon at icanhascheezburger.com talking about how he's looking for the mouse.

[erik_t]

He will soon dominate the yard like so:



Enjoy your superiority while you can. Good color choice!

[CaptainChewbacca]

When life gets you down, look at MORE PICTURES OF MY CAT!

I didn't make him a bed, but he decided to claim my toolbox. Truly a manly cat.





He also likes to help when I'm playing World of Warcraft.


LEEEEEEROOOOOOOOYYY!!!


He was also decorated for valor after single-handedly taking out an AT-AT at the battle of Hoth.


Truly, the nerdiest cat on the internet.

[Kodiak]

That would be awesome if you could get a picture of him hissing while you were actually killing whelps in UBRS. The nerdiest cat on the internet belongs to one of the nerdiest cat owners.

I had to do a double take when I saw your speakers, because they look just like a set a bought in Brazil- then I remembered I sold them to you six months ago

[Thanas]

So how many times has he messed up your gaming/typing so far? Or is he one of those cats that stay in one position and disregard the keyboard?

[CaptainChewbacca]

He generally stays off the keyboard, so that hasn't been a problem.

[Zor]

Xerxes looks so adorably smug.

I thought you said he learned to turn off your computer?

He does that with the plug underneath the desk.

[Thanas]

So in order to dominate the can-opener...err, owner, Xerxes goes straight for the big bucks, thereby proving himself worthy of his namesake.
