Yes, that’s Lefty. Asleep. I actually got close enough to take the picture without waking him up!
Admittedly, I did use the phone’s zoom lens, so I wasn’t quite as close as the picture might suggest.
But even so, the fact that I was able to get that close without putting him on high alert is astounding.

Left to right, that’s Rhubarb, ‘Nuki, Lefty, and Yuki.
I think it’s safe to say that Lefty is now one of the gang.
But the impressive part is that they’re sharing a bed, all asleep.
This is an event of earth-shaking magnitude, probably on a par with total solar eclipses for rarity.
Okay, that’s a bit of hyperbole.
But it’s nice to see Lefty fitting in and learning to take the presence of bipeds–even bipeds with cameras–as nothing to stress out about.

Absolutely seismic. I remember when I discovered Nickel Catmium, the Holy Terror, cuddled up with Mr. Ferguson, whom only a few days before she had been chasing relentlessly around the basement with her tail bushed out. They were married to the end of his life and I despair of getting her mellow with anyone else again, you are doing a lot better here.

I think there’s a conspiracy going on to keep me from flopping on the bed to read.
