Zoology lesson: Study of a Pepe

A Pepe Le Pew (also referred to as a "Pep Pep," "Peepers," "Pep," "Peeper Squeaker," and various other monikers) is a small boned, highly excitable member of the Mammalia class. Though believed upon initial examination to be a member of the Felis genus, subsequent exposures and six months of intensive study have led a team of researchers to reclassify the mammal as a hybrid of the Rattus and Sciuridae genus, with a dash of monkey and lemur thrown in the genetic pool.

Yes. This is a blog about one of my cats. Pepe, to be exact. But bear with me. This is not a "cat blog," per se, but a singular entry about a cat.

In all my years of cat ownership and appreciation, never have I encountered a
specimen like Pepe.
He is wild, hyper, terribly behaved, fearless and very loving. He destroys houseplants, neatly made beds, iPod headphones (two in one month, score!), water glasses and any sense of order that may have existed in our family prior to his arrival. These are some images of the creature in his natural habitat:
