Masculine Pussy

This is Edena and I. Edena is our male cat. I am our male human.

When my partner adopted this Balinese in 1997 she was told that he was a she and, as orange female cats are rare (plus, of course, that he possessed an obviously smoochy nature), Shantoo was sold on him. She named him Edena after the character portrayed by Jennifer Saunders in 'Absolutely Fabulous' and years later we realised that he was not a she when he began territorial combat against another orange male cat, from the downstairs apartment. Although he is easily embarrassed, we still call him Edena for this seems somehow to appeal to his vain and prissy nature. He is now about 11 years of age. He is very personable, and enjoys eating, sleeping, gormandizing, vomiting, eating his vomit, playing with string, gluttony, pats and dining.

Nothing profound to say here, really; this is just a simple post. Um... I must say that cats are unusual in that they are mammals with the eyes of reptiles. And a little known fact is that both they and I have whiskers. Hmm. Cats. I like 'em.
