Thank you MRV!
These images are so lovely! But don't forget I am a 50 y.o. woman.

Those are fantastic, Olga! I see you're using the first one. I love it. I love them all. I think the second one might be my favorite.I have found something, which reflects my personality more, yet not completely. I really love cats, especially Russian Blue breed. Though it doesn't express my complete personality.
I would like to share some new images I found today:
What do you think?
MRV, I love yours also; they are adorable!

I agree that a Russian Blue is a wonderful animal and would be my preferred feline but, since I love them all, my moggie means as much to me as any pedigree cat.

True, BrianBean, all cats are adorable. I have a fat, black cat: adorable. I have a cat that I thought was a tabby, but now I think he's at least part Maine Coon, and I have a cat that looks like a Blue Russian. She and the erstwhile tabby had kittens, one of whom could pass for a pureblood Sealpoint Siamese. He certainly has the temperment and the crossed eye.

Sometimes I ask myself why I love them so much. They are only animals with soft fur and sharp nails. Mammals like mice or dogs, though we love them so much. Why?
I have three cats - one of them is black, the other is dark gray and the third looks like Russian blue. His character is similar to Russian blue: 'Each hair silver dipped before attaching to the cat... with short hair and green eyes. They are fine boned and long bodied. The distinct color and coat stands out as does their normally affectionate nature. They are normally quiet, somewhat shy cats but with those they know and trust are very devoted and affectionate.' - it's all about my cat Panteleimon but he is a simple street cat maybe he read the description of Russian blue on internet and decided to behave like a pedigree cat? Or maybe he inherited these qualities through genes of one of his ancestors, who knows?
You can see his picture in my thread Pictures of pets.

Only animals with soft fur and sharp nails?
Not according to Leonardo.

Your new kitty face looks really nice, OlgaBy the way, I have a few pieces of clipart related to tigers and lions, if you have an interest. Do you have any feeling for tigers and/or lions?
First of all a little correction - claws instead of nails - I apologize for my English. Second why only felines are masterpieces? All God's creatures, even rats and spiders are masterpieces aren't they? Though some people idolize cats and my question is WHY CATS?
I do have feelings for tigers and lions just like for cheetahs and ocelots.

Yes why cats indeed. First it was Brian (corrected his error now though I see thankfully) and now you are choosing a damn cat, I hate cats they make me sneeze and get in the way! Why not choose something better than a cat - or indeed any animal at all for that matter?
Oh and Max - a pair of earphones, what's the thinking behind that? Why not a yogurt pot or a stapler? I ask merely out of curiosity...
Feeling a little cranky today, Neely? Oscar Wilde liked cats, too, did you know that?

No, no I'm not cranky, I just don't like cats or, actually more accurately really, the thought of having to look after them - or any pet for that matter - far too much trouble! I don't mind cats that much as long as they keep out of my way.
Really you think Wilde liked cats? I'm not sure either way, I don't think he was a particular cat lover - he certainly wouldn't have chosen an animal as an avatar (again no offense) - I'd have thought he was indifferent to them. Do share an opinion otherwise, especially if you have his words on the matter though.

Because we can't hold and feel other species in the same way as we can with cats. Also, cats are more sociable than many other creatures and more attractive visually.

Neely, maybe you didn't notice but my question was mostly figurative. I love cats I am just wondering why mankind domesticated a cat not, for example, a mouse or squirrel or some other wild animal?
I am always wondering how can somebody hate a God's creature a cat or a spider, a dog or a rat? You can dislike or fear a spider but why hate? You can dislike a cat but why hate? Each creature on our Earth plays it's role.
People can be much more disgusting than a rat. An animal can't be base, mean, despicable.
