Chomp!!!
Yes, that’s Julius (aka "JuJu") biting my big toe while I was trying to get some decent pictures of him. He’ll be 5 months old at the end of the month, and he continues to grow like a proverbial weed. I cannot wait until he starts loosing his baby teeth, as they are way too sharp now… Thankfully that should be very soon. As you can see from the picture below, his eyes have turned out to be amber, not green like I had hoped. Oh well. He has started sleeping next to me when I turn in for the night, and in the morning when I wake, he cuddles up with me, and purrs like a buzz saw. He’s a wonderful cat other than that whole biting/attacking feet fetish he has. His favorite practice is to lay in wait under the bed hidden by the bedskirt, then when you walk past, or are making the bed he pounces. *sigh* Damned cat.
Although he looks full grown in these pictures, he is far from it. He’s still half the size of Gus, but as I said above he’s growing like a proverbial weed… Which translates to going through LOTS of cat food, and LOTS of cleaning of the litter box. Fun, fun, fun. (I highly recommend the litter box I currently have… I’ve had it for well over 5 years now, and it is the easiest litter box I’ve ever found to clean in my 25+ years of being a cat servant!) Unfortunately for JuJu, Morgan is still able to easily carry him around, so he’ll grab JuJu in his arms, and race for his bedroom so he can play with him there. Something he can’t do with Gus any longer because he’s too heavy for Morgan to safely carry without giving himself a hernia. With any luck, for JuJu, when he reaches his full adult weight he’ll be heavy enough to discourage Morgan from kidnapping him any longer.
Remember: Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will pee on your computer keyboard, and anything not nailed down is a cat toy…
