This one is pretty black and white. Wonder why there is NO coverage here? Makes me pissed off and sick to my stomach at the same time.

If he were mine I would name his Cardus cause he's all cute and fuzzy and playful.

Oh wait...

(Kidding Cardus-ie - you know I love you ).

(He is adorable, Danzig).

Lol

He seems to prefer laying on my chest, I'll spare you what hubby said about that! But I've let him nuzzle around my face too much, so thank goodness for alavert. The eyes, they itch.

Son wants to name him merlin, but....my first thought was Nikola, for the original mad scientist.
But then....Edmund Hillary came to mind, this cat is good at climbing up the leg and back, and then perches on my shoulder.

The dog....well. She's gotten better but I won't be letting them alone together any time soon. Ms jealousy
