Last week the Cat Distribution System bestowed upon me two 14-lb. gray brothers [View all]

who have assimilated me and are now my overlords. Their names are Chet and Dave; they're solid dark gray but not completely identical. Chet is a little lighter gray and Dave has a rounder face but I had to get collars so I could identify them from across the room. Chet is extremely friendly while Dave is a bit more introverted, though he greatly enjoys being petted and likes to scent-mark me. They have learned that the kitchen = food and that they are required by some cat rule to accompany me to the bathroom. They have many toys and napping spots and they have filled my home and my life with the great joy of catness. Some photos:
