The Portrait of Charles le Gris

Behold, the newest addition to our growing collection of cat-themed art. This was a birthday gift from
monshu, and a welcome one at that: I love art, but I suck at buying it and he is a Weltmeister in eBay. Since the colouring is all wrong (I offered to fill in Bū's gray patterning with a magic marker but somehow I can't imagine that would go over well, whatever he might say), what particularly recalls him for the Old Man is the position and the presence of the live sprig. When I noticed the cat chewing up fallen begonia blossoms and spitting them back out, I started bringing him fallen jasmine flowers from the garden (at least for the ten minutes this summer the damn thing actually bloomed). He'll also go after dead leaves and other detritus. As long as they don't make him sick, they're the cheapest cat toys you could want!

A perfect counterfeit like this makes it easy to forget how pilly he's been, particularly in the last couple of days. We're playing nicely, we're playing nicely, STOP BITING MY HAND YOU LITTLE FUCK! On the other hand, with the Old Man out of the master bed, he's been coming right up to me and falling asleep against my arm. Sometimes up to four or five times a night. Too bad loss of sleep makes me such a crabby puss.
