Readers, meet Laoghaire. Laoghaire, meet the readers.

Third cat post in a row. I think I just won a major award or something...

It's only been a couple of weeks, but Laoghaire Mac Nissian ("Larry") has already adjusted to his new surroundings. His respiratory infection has cleared up, and he's taken to sleeping with the humans when he's not bounding around the apartment or sitting on the table in studio, taunting the squirrels. One of his new favourite tricks is to lay on our chests when we're sleeping and pat our noses. He usually does this early in the morning - think three a.m. - because he wants attention. This could be good if we could set him for six a.m., and teach him "snooze".

He and Manny are becoming fast friends, which is good considering Larry passed on his respiratory infection to Manny. Having never been sick, Manny now thinks he's dying.

Manny is getting better, and he and Larry share space on the bed. This, of course, leaves little room for the humans. It's truly amazing what nifty shapes your body will bend into when two reasonably-sized cats decide it's their bed, and they want to stretch out.

As I said in my last post, right cat; right time. I'm sure there'll be more pictures of "the boys" posted here. After all, every parent wants to show off their kids.
