Drogon moves in
The vet emailed us that Drogon had been neutered and bathed and we could pick him up. We had planned on watching three Sineng Pambansa entries yesterday, so we asked the clinic to keep him another day. And then we decided to pick him up anyway, because he’s been at Pendragon for a week and we don’t want him to feel that we’ve left him. We’ll watch the three movies today.
Unlike our cats Koosi, Saffy and Mat, who turn their backs on the vet, refuse to come out of their carriers, and shriek “How dare you!” when anyone tries to touch them, Drogon was very friendly with the clinic staff. It takes three people to administer Saffy’s shots; Drogon bore his treatment with great forbearance.
When Koosi, Saffy and Mat have to ride in cars, they carry on like they’ve been abducted by Bolsheviks. On the way home, Drogon sat quietly on our lap and watched the traffic through the window. What a lovely cat he is. What a terrible parent we are. If we had human spawn they’d probably be articulate but constantly suspected of demon possession.
When Drogon arrived at our house he nose-kissed Mat and Saffy. Mat didn’t mind, but Saffy ran away and hid in the bathroom. Koosi woke up from her nap, looked at Drogon, and went back to sleep.
Drogon required no toilet training—he knew immediately what the litter box is for. At first he thought he was going to go back outside and hang with the strays under the parked cars, but he soon figured out that he is living indoors now. He took a long nap with Mat, and then stretched out on our table with Koosi.
His full name: Drogon Lockheed Pendragon Z. Targaryen-Targaryen.
We didn’t fix the red-eye in his photos. Makes him look more like a dragon.

What a handsome, well behaved cat! Meanwhile, with that nose, “Owen” should be inched somewhere in that two-mile name.

I used to own a cat who looked like Drogon here. Only she was female. And she was ahem very prolific. I found her stuck behind the left headlight of my Tita’s delivery truck crying for help (and I absolutely have no idea how she got there) and I adopted her. In about three years she gave us 15 more cats to take care of. Everytime na manganganak siya there was always at least one that looked like her, white fur and blue eyes. I simply assumed they were all deaf. Pero nagrerespond naman sila whenever we call them. Sometimes dedma, but I dont know, ganun naman mga pusa. I wonder if Drogon had offsprings and if they carried the same traits.

Sana’y ampunin mo na lang siya nang tuluyan, Your Grace. Bukod sa siya ay well-behaved, “fashionable” companion siya sa pamamasyal. Siguradong maraming mabibighani sa kanya.

CaitlynsMomma: We’re not sure about his hearing, but he is very cooperative.

Haha, I wonder how’s he like as an Oracle?

I can’t reconcile such nice manners with that first photo. It’s just hilarious, haha!
