GILGAMESH THE OCICAT IN DA HOUSE

Does anyone actually use the phrase 'in da house' anymore? I suspect not, though I wouldn't know. I've been out of touch with that sort of stuff since the 60's. Hell, I even use 'groovy' non-ironically. Actually that's not true. I used 'groovy' ironically even when it was non-ironical to use it way back then. Anyway, you can assume that my use of the post's title phrase is meant in a humourous context.

It also links a series of photos.

1. Susan Hardy (with Jeff) in da house.

2. Susan Hardy's feet (and a kitten) in da house.

3. A kitten (being investigated by Frank) in da house.

4. Gilgamesh in da house.
This afternoon, for the first time ever, Gilgamesh actually ventured downstairs which involved some growling and hissing at other cats and a brief mauling of Aelfric when he tried to get past him on his way back up the stairs.








I swear I will never use the stupid phrase in da house again and wish I hadn't this time. I'm going to be cringing every time I look at this post. Please accept my apologies and forgive my appalling lapse in judgment.

Thank you.

MEET GILGAMESH THE OCICAT


This is the cat I took in on Tuesday evening and took rather poor pictures of. These are a little bit better.

A couple of people think he's a Bengal but I've checked and his spots are very different. He most resembles an Ocicat. Here's a photo of one from Google Images. See what you think.


And here are some more of mine.


If he isn't an Ocicat he's a moggy who looks exactly like one.

I've called him Gilgamesh because he has a regal look to him and an almost archetypal Egyptian cat face (and, yes, I know, Gilgamesh wasn't an Egyptian but from Ur, I think, which is in the neighbourhood so stop being picky). He's also incredibly friendly, loves, nay, demands affection, likes sleeping next to me and seems to hate other cats on sight so, unless things change, I can't see me keeping him.

He's off to the vet on Monday for a check and first flu jab. Also a scan to see if he's chipped.  More later.

Just a couple of kitten photos.





Or four.
