My Adventures With Gus the Cat

For practically the whole month of October, I was asked to housesit for one of my faculty in the Science & Math Teaching Center. Funny how that was a main profession of mine back home in Delaware that it found me doing it out here in the west as well. But yes, housesitting again and this time it was not for a lab, or a westie, or a shepherd, but this adorable cat named Gus.

Marc Made a New Friend.

Let me tell you, Gus is by far the smartest cat I know....in Laramie. I mean, no one ca compare to Tweedy back home, but Gus is pretty much up there! He is so adorable. He is mostly an outdoor cat that roams all over the neighborhood during the day, but by night, he strolls back in for his evening meal and will cuddle up to you when it's time for bed. Did I mention he is really smart. He answers and comes home to you when you call his name! It's really weird, but very convenient when you want him to come home. He also does not really use the bathroom inside. He does have a litter box in the house, but its usually never used - he goes to do his business outside! How convenient is that!?!

Sunbathing Before He Goes On His Daily Adventure!

So Stoic!

Although, he does have some strange habits too. He will drink his water out of a glass! Ana, the owner, has a glass just for him on the counter! It's hilarious, but really cute. However, if you leave a glass out, unmanned, you have been previously warned that he might come up and drink out of your vessel too! Although, last night, he not only will drink out of your vessel, but will drink out of the sinks if there is dripping water and out of the toilet! He's hilarious. Ana said she thinks it is because Gus is under the impression that he is not given enough water, when clearly he has several glass vessels around the house for him!

I Caught Ya!

Canine Tendencies, Eh?

But besides that, he is the most adorable cat, ever. Playing laser tag to cuddling up in your lap or in the chair with you is really precious.

A Sleepy, Ty-Ty Gus!

Gus, Where Do You Go All Day To Tucker You Out at Night?
