Awhile back I posted about our neighbor’s cat who had decided to move into our ger.

Well I am sure none of you will be surprised to learn that not only is he still here but he has been joined by a friend.

One morning at the end of September as Brian and Santi were walking me to school, we noticed that Monster was hanging out in our neighbor’s yard with a small, stripy, brown friend. We will never know what Monster told her that morning, but clearly it was enough to convince her that our ger was the place in town to live. I was not home when she decided to stage her invasion but Brian said it was like a sinking ship. He would plug one hole in the ger wall only to find her coming through another on the other side. He eventually gave up and we are now proud stewards of two cats.

Officially named George Hugo and Lucille Alice after couples from 2 of our favorite shows (Arrested Development and the Vicar of Dibley) they more affectionately go by L’il Monster and Little Lady Lulu. We are pretty sure they are from the same litter, but we speculate Monster was taken from his mother very early and then not fed and Lulu nursed for much longer. Monster has been playing catchup. Monster is the one to be found in ridiculous sleeping poses, suckling on your shirt for dear life, and in general doing stupid things that get him all riled up.

Lulu on the other hand, is the calm, cool, and collected hunter who likes to bring her kills inside as show and tell. She also is the more agile of the two and has gone on desert walks with us.

The best part of having two kittens though is that they have each other to wrestle with and sleep with. There is a lot of cuteness in our ger these days.
