Elsie (our grey cat) is a small adult cat- she only weighs nine or ten pounds. Still, it's ridiculous that Atticus (who is a year old but still growing) is so big and so fluffy that he can more or less completely hide her from view if he sits next to her or jumps on top of her. Oh dear. Also, Atticus is actually a dog. He chews on shoes. He wants to go outside all the time and lets us put a leash on him. He FETCHES. Good grief. Also, he destroys basically everything he can get his paws on. Case in point, he really likes to eat paper. He shreds magazines, toilet paper and paper towels. Last weekend while we were rushing around doing last minute prep for a wedding we were about to shoot, he rolled around on the living room floor systematically destroying an entire roll of paper towels.

Elsie watched him from the couch. She did not seem to be amused. Hah.

Look at that MANE!
