andy, galois, anika

ok, lets first talk about galois. G is a cat, somewhat fluffy and these days bad tempered. he belongs to, or rather(as he would put it) shares his lebensraum with L, a mathematician and M, his wife, an engineer. G is called G after a french mathematician. These days G is bad tempered because of the existance of Anika. Anika is a sweet, much smaller and less fluffy cat who has recently moved from the humane society to the residence of L and M. G perceives A to be a threat to his autonomy in the four legged domain of that particular house. As a matter of fact, G hisses in a rather pointed way whenever A violates his personal space, which, given the fact that A is a somewhat boisterous cat happens quite frequently. G, on the other hand, has the temperament of a french film star(i dont know that much about french mathematicians, ok i dont know much about french film stars either, but isn't "temperamental as a film star" something of a standard phrase? and the french are supposed to be highly strung, or was it the italians?) relations between the two cats are somewhat strained at the moment, with L and M having to play the role of overworked UN peacekepers.

Andy belongs to two people I don't know, S and J. but i do know their friend C(crikey, we are eating up the alphabet aren't we?) so C does catsitting for S and J when they are out of town. The last time she was catsitting, she took me along. Andy is a short fat cat who aappears to be wrapped in a black rug. he jumps when a soft toy is thrown at him. he runs rounf and rounf in circles chasing the light spot from a laser pointer. C gets chocolate for catsitting A. I got some chocolate too.
