The Biggest Year
It having been over a year since my initial Begemot photo post , I suppose it’s time for a few more images of our special guest star.
He still exhibits completely catatonic midafternoon shutdowns, as described last time, which Inna & I take as ideal times for molestation.
But he has developed one really cute/strange behavior. One of his first toys was a squeaky weasel stuffed animal. Every evening, about two minutes after we turn out the light, he trots off to find it. Once he’s got it, the little guy-who virtually never meows at all-starts howling and crying like it’s a bloody emergency. That lasts maybe 30 seconds until he trots into the bedroom, carrying the weasel in his mouth, and offers it to us. Then he quiets down and settles into bed for the night. And in the morning, he’ll usually get up and bring it with him into the living area (usually without the verbal announcements). It’s pretty hilarious, but equally adorable.
His other favorite toys include shoelaces, the brown construction paper sometimes used as packing material (see below), and he’ll come like a flash if he hears anyone crumpling up a credit card receipt. Between all that and his diverse collection of boxes, the floor’s always a bit of a mess.
It doesn’t take a lot to keep the boy happy, and he definitely has reciprocated by keeping Inna & I happy.
