No, they are parentheses. These [] are brackets.
Stewart Judson wrote:

Braces, or curly braces.
Stewart Judson wrote:

Strictly speaking they are double quotation marks, as opposed to the single ones.

But used as quotation marks in some cultures.

Depends on how I use them. Angle brackets if used to enclose code, text or HTML. Less than or greater than if used in a conditional statement. Left fish, right fish according to my daughter. :)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Thanks! Actually, I have TWO cats that are all white and have odd eyes (and a red one with normal yellow eyes)... You might think that I was collecting them... :-D Proof[^] It's Ramses on the right, Curry is the red one and Iris on the left. She's the youngest of them, but she's regularly beating up the two guys... :laugh:

A tattoo with an ID number in case they should get lost (they won't, because the are all indoor cats, but it good to be on the safe side). It was normal before to do that, and the numbers are registered in case it should be necessary to identify them. Nowadays, cats are marked with a chip under the skin - which is better, because it hurts less when they are marked.

Me, all the timeI heard about the chip. Currently my kitties don't have, but i ever leave for somewhere with them(i really hope so) they will get one. I never saw or even heard about putting tattoos in their ears. We have no laws about identifying lost cats.

It's not a law here either, but good practise. Another advantage with the chip over the tattoo is that the chip is always readable. The tattoo behaves just like a human tattoo - it flows out and becomes less readable over time...

According to what criteria? :) We once had them arranged by spine colour. That was actually much nicer than the alphabetic arrangement... :laugh: But you are right; Right now we are "arranging"them according to the wind direction...
