Now here's something I've never seen before:

That's right, two adult shelter cats (Priscilla and Umulius) from wildly different backgrounds sleeping in the same basket!

I showed the picture to my colleagues and they were as amazed as I was! Really, this never happens at the shelter - well it does among the kittens, but they're kittens. All our adult cats, unless they're siblings, are very territorial. That basket, for instance, just about belongs to Priscilla. That's her territory.

And yes, that isn't a trick of perspective: Priscilla is a regular-sized adult cat, Umulius is HUGE. He's like a supersized cat. He looks like he's half cat, half bear. And a fun fact: Umulius' name is derived from the Norwegian word umulig - "impossible". He's called that because he has the worst violent mood swings I've ever seen in a cat. I guess an English version of his name would be "Impossibilius".

And now, I'm going to work on my bachelor thesis. Huff...
