I Adore...: I Belong to the PhotosOfCatsOnTheInternet Generation

After writing six articles for I Adore Presents... The Food Section! and one long essay for The Beatific Gonzette today, I thought I was done blogging.

But not QUITE!

I have to be true to my generation and post some stuff about cats on the internet, dag-nabbit!

CAT PHOTO OVERLOAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!

**Both of these cats are alive and well, and most of these photos were taken this year.**

Greg:
The sweeter and more feminine of my two cats. Greg is an excellent singer who communicates primarily in sweet, infrequent little humanlike grunts, but who sings the word "hello!" as a greeting when he jumps up onto the bed to hang out with me. He does not meow, in the traditional sense, very much. Greg tends to wake me up in the middle of the night by purring and snuggling and licking my face, like he can't even believe that I'm holding still long enough to mess with. I think that Greg has a special regard for me because I frequently save him from his brother. Greg is often clumsier than Leonard, and manages to weigh about two tons when walking across us at night. (Leonard, his brother, walks across us like an acrobat and we scarcely feel him. I wish Greg would adopt Leonard's technique for this.)

Greg loves the towel rack! Always has, always will.

Greg and I get along especially well.

Leonard:
Of my two cats (twin brothers), Leonard is the worrier. He has a nagging meow that he lets out in sessions at least once a day. He's the cat who makes sure important things get done, like making sure there's food in his dish and fresh litter in the cat box. Leonard is the only one of the two who was born with a tail, a fact that he lets no one forget. (He is very expressive with this tail and waves it about in amusing shapes.) Leonard is also more of a bully than Greg is, and tends to torment his brother about 80% more frequently than his brother torments him. But in spite of this, Leonard is also very nurturing toward his brother. Leonard is also more cautious than his brother, and usually hides in our box spring when company comes to visit. (Greg looks more confident and relaxed than usual when his brother is hiding, and walks right up to guests to introduce himself.)
