OUR NEW GUS - AND WHAT A FIND


Been looking for a pool partner and now I have one. Only problem - he's always laying exactly where  need to stand to take a shot. Hard to move, too. He weighs a ton!

When Melissa's not around, he will come down to see what I'm doing. Loves to sit on my lap and/or be on the desk. Hard to be on the computer when he wants attention (which is always!).

Gus stretching out covers most of the floor. I have to be careful to not roll over his feet or tail. I'm sure he'd let me know if I did, though.
 

One of his favorite places - bird  watching in my office  - does that "chatter" thing cats do when on the prowl and see prey.
  

 Ah, his most favoritest place (Utah speak). Loves to lay on the top of the cushions  - every one is indented to his shape now. Oh well, small price to pay!!


Bird watching and waiting again. He's either on the love seat or on MK's desk. He's spilled more than one glass of water - no  spilled coffee or  wine yet, so far.


 

 This is Gus' version of the "Fosbury Flop." For those of you not steeped in Track and Field history, Google it and learn something new. When we walk in, he often runs to meet us and flops down with feet in the air. Trusting devil, don't you think?

"Oh boy, Melissa's not here - I can languish in her chair. Forget that she has to use the lint remover every time she goes out - at least I'm not white all over. Black doesn't show up tooooo badly!"

Well Folks, that's a few shots of our  new Gus. As Christopher said - "Gus is the king of this house!" And, I guess he's correct. What a sweet an wonderful cat  we got. Lucky us - lucky him.

And, thanks to Laura once again for his name.
