Favorite Pics YUP! That's ME arm-wrestling Walter "Sweetness" Payton. Joe Namath and I having a drink at the Delta Club Room in LA. This is my kick-ass cat, Cali. She's part Calico and part Siamese. Check out that cool face. It shows how she is truly half-and-half. This my other kick-ass cat, Geo. How many other cats do you know that can touch their tongue to their nose? This is another kick-ass cat, Gypsy. She is a Smoke Egyptian Mau, the oldest and only spotted breed of cat. And the man of the house, Koosh. Although he's a dog, he's still kick-ass.
