Over Harry-ed

To cut a long, long story short, yesterday we went to a cat rescue place in search of a 3-legged cat called Mandu, but ended up with a different cat, who has 4 legs and is much less grumpy and scary. In fact, he isn't grumpy or scary at all, and is very nice indeed. So without further ado, here he is!

His name? Harry. Oh yes, it is.

As Harry is 12, and has been called Harry for 12 years (as far as we know), we don't feel it's very polite to change his name now. So Harry stays Harry, and the other Harry (who has been Harry for 10 years) also stays Harry. It has been a very Harry-ed weekend, and rather confusing. My sis, who was staying with us, remarked how it's a bit like the two Ronnies. So, for obvious reasons, we have given them surnames, thus "upgrading" them to Harry Barker and Harry Corbett (if anyone wants to know which is which, I will be surprised). They sound like a pair of old men, which is kind of what they are... we're joking that Mr Corbett is here for his retirement, and so he is.

And do our two elderly gentlemen get on? Err, not really. Not yet, anyway. Mr Barker was delighted to see Mr Corbett, who did not share his view, hissing evilly at him in disgust. Mr Corbett, however, seems to really like me and C, which is a little surprising, but helps a lot.

Maybe we'll just call him H.

PS: For the record, we also went geocaching, but couldn't find caches 5 and 6 because the map and the land totally didn't match and we were cold and wet and muddy, so we took wee sis to see geocache 4 instead, and made her find it. She was thrilled.

As I said yesterday, Harry identity crisis!

Which one?

Both Harrys! Am still LOL about. Harry the cat, Harry the dog. Will one think its the other and need psychotherapy?

Rem, cats are way above humans and need to be fed! Don't let Harry the dog feel left out. :P

Obviously, Harry Barker is the dog, and Harry Corbett is the cat. Right?

Corbett looks very nice and friendly (for a cat!), and ffs, give Barker a break. How can Barker be given evil looks? He's so cute!

C and J, congrats on your new cat!

Awwww... what a cutie! Wish Mark and I could have one. We both missed having cat around!

If Harry or Harry displays any signs of schizophrenia ("I'm Harry, no you're not, I'm Harry! So if you're Harry who am I? Are you my alter ego?" (*looks in mirror*)) then you can find a pet psychiatrist at:

Holmfirth seems to be the nearest place so maybe laughter is the best medicine!

What a cutie! I am probably more of a dog person--but an animal lover in general, and one can't deny a good face ;)

Oh,what a lovely surprise! To read your blog this Sat am with my usual cup of coffee and to be greeted with a lovely picture of your cat.Before I knew her name, the first thought was, 'oh she looks like a Lady Marmalade' Wishing you and C many happiness with your new addition.
