larissabernstein: Cats, cats, cats, please!!!! :-)
12/15/14 12:43 amkateOh, man. Recently someone mentioned the old adage about the internet being made of cats, someone to whom I couldn't just shoot back "and porn!" because it was either my wife's family or someone at work. But it is true! So many cats!
And I don't know most of the internet famous cats, I'm terrible at internet memes, seriously, but I just got a work email full of funny ones (my workplace received 100% score on some index that rates how good companies are for LGBTQ folks to work for (second year in a row, strong work, company!)).
I think I shall have to give pictures of my kitties, though, because they are my kitties and I love them! Here are all four:
We have two sets of siblings. The first set is Jeeves and Wooster. But we call Wooster "Fatty" because he is. He is just a ginormous fucking cat. And he has no idea his name is Wooster, my mother-in-law calls him that because she thinks he'll get a complex, but he doesn't respond to it in any way because we just never call him that. He's just Fatty. But he's a loveable Fatty, and great for hugs (even though he hates it). Jeeves is the smaller of the two (obviously) and I think he was actually a runt? But he's a pretty good sized cat now - 12 lbs last time we weighed him. He's black and fuzzy and personable and purrs loudly and follows people around the house (and by "people," I mean "my wife"). We call him the best cat, because he is. No one else seems to agree with us, though. Most people like Fatty best, and our cleaning ladies loved Weebl (because he is the only one that doesn't go hide under the bed when new people show up).
And that brings us to the second set of siblings. Weebl is the boy - also 12 lbs though he's smaller-ish than Jeeves. He's a more solidly build cat. Ripley is the girl. When we got them, my wife had apparently picked out a name for hers (Weebl) which left me in a bit of a fix because I figured we were going to name them in a pair, like Jeeves and Wooster (whom I originally had suggested the names Sam and Dean for - which would've been totally appropriate as they are the incestiest brothers ever - and that was before I was in the fandom!), so I had to come up with a girl name for a cat when I wasn't expecting it. I think we had recently watched the Alien movies, and Ripley's pretty kickass, so that's where that came from.

on 12/16/14 08:54 pm (UTC)Well done on getting a picture of them all together - I am totally guilty of keeping the thermostat a liiiiitle bit too cool this fall, in the hopes that my two will both sit near me instead of retreating to opposite corners of the house over heating vents.
