And I always thought Bina was the Diva

Dahhhhling!

Koala Bear

Saturday I had planned to do a lot of housecleaning, but I suddenly just got so tired, and I couldn't resist lying down for a bit. Fergus decided to join me, and instead of snuggling up next to me, he thought it better to climb up on my back and sleep, a la koala bear style. He laid his face so close to my ear that I could hear him lick his lips. I love having the cats sleep with me, but this was a bit...intimate.

Fergus!

Oh, and I've decided to go with "Fergus" for our new addition to our human-feline family. I think he likes it too, 'cause he's already starting to come when I call his name. Thank you for your comments and suggestions, even ones like Dingleberry and Soloniosum *smacks Spongie* Though I really liked all those names, Fergus felt right in the end. I say *I* since Beau plans on calling him his usual names for cats:

- Cat
- Goofball
- Oh-You-Little-Shit (after he gets bit or scratched when he plays roughly with Sabina)
- Lemme-Step-On-Your-Head (This one for the sheer pleasure of riling me up), as in:
"Hey you, come here -- Lemme step on your head!"

I'm still totally thrilled he's here and liking him more each day. He is currently in a sort of tense truce with Sabina - they slept next to each other last night for the first time, though every now and then she couldn't help but emit a low-tone growl. And he terrorizes her by leaping onto her back and biting her head, then joyfully chasing her around the house, while she lets out these unnerving screams of protest. She's old and her tolerance for play is not too high, but she needs a bit of exercise. It's rather funny, except for this morning. Screaming cats are not funny at 6:00am.

P.S. Beau reminded me of one more name he frequently uses: Dumbass. I'm not a fan of that one either, but he says, "But I always say it as a joke, like 'Hey Dumbass' hahahahah."

Ha.
