This Cat Can Show Up Anywhere...

Ulysses.

I know, I write a lot about the cat. You would, too. It’s not because he is cute. He is not. If that were the case I would just post endless videos of him rolling over and stretching. Quite a sight! Just now he is about a 10-pound top of the food chain predator and likely to get bigger. He is now about a year old. Yes, he will get close, but when he reaches out to touch you, the message is, '‘Hey, great to see you...Don’t fuck with me!” Meow indeed.

A favored place these days is behind my

computer, which is better than his previous favorite place, on top of the keyboard. I don’t know what to think about this other than that he is now completely comfortable in our house. That’s flattering because until they get to this point, it can be very bloody. Went to see my doctor today who also has a cat. We both concluded if you fell dead on the floor, your dog would sit and weep and whine until someone showed up.

Your beloved cat, on the other hand would ponder eating you.
