Can has cat update! Two weeks ago I adopted a Romanian speaking, middle-aged cat, and posted about it here... just to followup, I'm so happy with her, and she seems to like living with me as well. She sleeps on my feet, plays adorably with her toys, and has taken to telling me when to go to bed (seriously, around 10:30 every night she starts meowing in a bullying way to remind me that it's time to sit in bed and read while she purrs beside me). Link is to FB album, which I hope works (I can fix the permissions if necessary).

Yes, I have become the kind of person who, now that my son is grown and moved away, is posting pictures of my cat on the internet. Sigh.

Happy to hear she is doing well.

Such a pretty girl! Glad she's settling in/assuming her rightful place as household ruler.

I am now hearing "Vere is de litter box??" in Bela Lugosi's voice. Just so you know.

Yay! She's pretty.

Yeah, either Bela Lugosi or an embittered middle aged lady who still hates Ceausescu.

Yeah, please post audio of the cat speaking.

Well, you know, it's more that she understands Romanian. I've been practicing how to say "pussycat", "get down offa there", and so on. I just need to find out how to say "stop eating the damn plant already" and I'm set.

But it's entirely possible that another cat would recognize the "van to suck your blood" accent that she most certainly has when meowing.

Whoops, that's "vant", as we all know.

She's gorgeous! I'm so happy that she's bossy. Bossy kitties are wonderful and hilarious.

She is elegant and has a wonderful colour palette.

This just caused me to gargle my coffee. I'm still laughing. Score!

Yay for rescues! And she's so pretty.

Amazingly enough, she actually matches my couch/walls. I did not plan it that way though, honest.

Last night she attacked my feet under the duvet with a fearsome intensity. While purring. That's my girl.

She's got the monorail cat act down, too. Very cute.

Aw! Adorable cat with Romanian accent, who purrs in bed at 10:30 - PUURRFECT!
