My creamsicle cat

Mungojerry pics behind the cut. He's 9 years old; I adopted him from a family in my Quaker meeting that's decided to move South. (Since he hyperventilates even during short car rides, they figured a two-day trip would spell disaster.) The name (from T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats) came with him, though his former caregivers didn't supply a Rumpleteazer.



His fur is cool to the touch even in this heat. He's not as grab-up-able as my kitty Shag--sheer size and weight make it less easy to arrange him in a mutually comfortable position in my arms. He does come up on my bed to cuddle. ^_^

Note how his nose has been re-dipped in orange-stripey coloring following his encounter with a bleach bucket.

Heh. He's like my other cat in that--what I interpret as a friendly/relaxed expression, others perceive as miffed. He actually didn't seem to mind the camera too much, but he doesn't perform for it the way my sister jobiska's kitties sometimes do. (Or maybe it's just that she's handier with a camera!)
