O'Gulliver

You may not be a cat lover, but maybe these photos will make you smile anyway.

Gulliver (so named for showing up on our driveway in her "travels") has been a special gift for our family since 2010. Often called "Gully" or "Gull," this soft little grey and white friend is a daily source of amusement.

Whether playing like a kitten, purring while basking her white tummy in the sun, or intently focused in her role as mighty hunter, we often find ourselves saying,

"Oh!... Gulliver!"

Hence the occasional Irish-flavored nickname of O'Gulliver.

Always looking for a cosy spot near her friends

A lap is preferable, but she has learned that Elsa and I
cannot hold her now - due to allergies.

Though an outdoor cat, Gully has displayed some dog-like train-ability for her visits indoors. She quickly learned that her spot is by the French doors, where she can catch the sunshine and keep an eye on the outdoors. The first cold nights in late autumn bring her meowing to the deck and climbing the glass door to get in. As winter progresses, she loses some of her manners. Instead of calling to be let out again, we catch her wandering from door to door.

But in the summer Gully rarely wants to set foot indoors. She'd rather we came out to play!
