While Kevin is taking a break and getting better, we’re rounding out the usual Friday Cat Blogging routine with some special Mother Jones-affiliated guests.
Today, I’m happy to present CC and VZ. These handsome brothers were adopted from a Berkeley shelter by Ian Gordon, our copy editor. Named Sacco and Vanzetti at birth (I did mention the shelter was in Berkeley, right?), their new family quickly developed nicknames that would be less of a mouthful. Below you’ll find CC on the left, and VZ on the right.
These fellas are intrepid neighborhood explorers. Ian reports that they have indoor visitation rights at at least three nearby houses. Don’t you wish they’d stop by and class up your joint sometime?
If they did, they just might come bearing gifts. Their phase of hunting, gathering, and gifting mysterious objects to their caregivers is well cataloged on Ian’s Look What the Cats Dragged In Tumblr, where you’ll find alternately hilarious and discomfiting documentation of undergarments, empty food packages, and decades-old newspapers.
Where do they get this stuff? How do they make their selections? What are they trying to communicate?
The only ones who know aren’t talking.
