Vasco Pyjama, the Cat of the Day
Name: Vasco Pyjama
Age: Six months old
Gender: Male
Breed: Abyssinian
Home: Melbourne, Australia
 
   Vasco is a house-bound gent who prefers the idle life of lounging with much snacking in between to any strenuous activity except for when he decides to bug me while I am trying to work as seen here. Vasco is named after Vasco De Gama the great explorer. Which as it turns out was not very appropriate given that he has not yet left the back yard and is one of the most highly strung cats I've ever come across! He would rather be cosy with his personal Shar-pei/pillow whom we call Neve than chasing his sister Rosie the Red Aby over neighborhood roofs.

    He has definitely filled out since this photo was taken - he loves his food, unlike his sister Rosie who is still very slim. Vasco only meows when he wants us to get out of bed on the weekends. He does, however, have a mean purr - it's the loudest we've heard! He tends to be most affectionate around Neve (the shar pei) much to her chagrin - it's not easy to sleep with a furball all over you! He really doesn't like to be picked up by we humans and will only be patted when he's ready for it.
