Yes, I love this guy! Hermann! I mean, clearly he is a beautiful petit chat, but he is also extremely smart. I used to say that he was a dog stuffed into a perfect little kitten body, mais non! He is purely feline to the nth and delightful degree.

If you've met him, you know what I'm talking about- he's just magnanimous, fabulous, hilarious! And boy, is the guy friendly!

If you haven't met him, I'd like to tell you the latest Hermann tale. There lives a bidet in one of the bathrooms in the house. It doesn't get used for its natural purpose but exists to complete the European style bathroom in which it makes its home. My mom was walking by this bathroom and heard a little tinkling of water. Worried that there might be a drip or leak, she peaked in. What did she see?

HERMANN. Not doing something a little kitty shouldn't -- marking his territory or anything so base-- rather he was perched atop the bidet relieving himself. Perhaps inappropriate fodder for a blog except my friends let's remember this is a cat!

So, what does it all mean, you ask? Simply this: the cat has learned to pee in the bidet.

I, personally (what else?) find this fantastically high-minded of him, and am in no way surprised at his cultural revolution.

CHEERS TO HERMANN!

I miss the little guy so much, I haven't seen him since we left Utah, obviously. I'm in animal withdrawal. In NY I got to check in on Gilbert and Sullivan once a week or so and here- nothing! Once we get to Ketuck we'll be kitty-kaddy shopping ourselves.
I can only hope for half the cat that Hermann is!
