It's The World Famous Land Manatee!

We're looking after a pair of cats for the next couple of weeks. The, uh, larger-boned of the two is a Himalayan of indeterminate gender that spends roughly 23 hours a day sleeping, and the other hour pestering you to go to bed at 9pm. Other than that, it basically doesn't move much. Sleep, pester the humans, eat cheese... Have I mentioned that it demands a pinch of Parmesan twice a day? That might help explain its, uh, generous proportions. It's actually a very nice cat, just sort of... different. It walks around with an abstract, distant look on its face, as if it can see the world behind the world. Or maybe it just has bad vision, it's hard to tell with cats.

Anyway, I've mentioned this beastie over on the intertweets a few times, nicknaming it the #LandManatee. That, understandably, generated requests for photos, so I took a few, and here they are. They're not the best cat photos I've ever taken; natural sunlight works a lot better, but we only have the cats for two weeks, and it's May, so I doubt we're going to have any proper sunlight while they're here.
