You know, when I picked her up at the shelter, I just assumed she and Tink were both felis catus domesticus. Imagine my surprise upon discovering that Zeugma is actually a felis catus invescusavis, a cat breed which, according to the International Cat Breed and Nomenclature Registry, “has remarkably adapted itself — with spatulate front paws and a highly flexible, thin, and elongated skeletal structure — to making its home in external birdfeeders in the Northeastern United States.” And I thought she was just skinny! You’re right, Cindy; it’s completely natural for her breed: from now on, Zeugma sleeps in the birdfeeder.

But, Daddy, I’m just doing what comes naturally.

Poor Z, my foot. I’m not going to let her get inside that birdfeeder however much she begs. She does, however, manage to get plenty of cat-hugs, putting her front paws over my shoulder when I’m trying to work in front of the computer.

Poor Z. Someone’s always messing with her.
