A couple weeks ago, I traveled to Houston, Texas, to visit my college girlfriends. (It was a very busy weekend, so sorry to those who I couldn't visit while down there.) My girlfriend's cat, Lars, stole all of our hearts.

Lars, the ladies' man

For those of you who think cats are "eh." this post may bore you to tears, but Lars is more dog than cat and more human than dog.

Lars' original name was Diamond due to his black marking on his schnoz, but boy, does he LOVE to eat. His appetite is the size of Texas. (da da dah bum...thank you, I'll be here all night.) Therefore my girlfriend's husband decided Lardball was a better fit. Not wishing "Lardball" on any of her enemies, especially this lil' romeo, my friend shortened it to a more sophisticated and fitting "Lars."

Thankfully, the cat doesn't seem to have any identity issues and is still as charming as ever. At night, he would come to each friend's bed for a quickie of, er, petting and then skedaddle to the next friend's bed for another session. Such a player!!
