I recently adopted 2 kittens. It was originally only supposed to be 1, but the person who was going to take the other one backed out on me (anyone want a tiger stripped kitten?). Anyways, for some reason they LOVE watching me play Elite. They keep swatting at the screen whenever I fire my pulse lasers. However they also like chewing on the wires. It's somewhat difficult to fly FA Off in a High RES while a kitten is hanging on the wire of your X-Box controller...
If I may, if there is any possibility of you looking after two, they will be a lot more fun together.
