- snuggly orange boi
- startlingly prolific writer/social media intern
- my foot: a friend. my foot in a slipper: the enemy. must be defeated
- the little confused/awed (?) meows when he sees a new toy with a motor mechanism
- allegedly was 13 when we got him, yet he is the most playful cat i've ever lived with. including kittens
- climbing the window screen to try to reach a spider on the ceiling (on the other side of the room from the windows)
- gets to at least stage 2 of the mirror test but then becomes utterly unconcerned about what this illusory cat is doing in the fireplace glass
- would not drink water from a bowl but was only drinking from the sink when we first got him. so i bought him a fountain. he drinks from it occasionally but mostly seems to enjoy sitting near it and looking at it. it's a water feature to him
- also great to drink from: half-drunk mugs of water next to the sink
- even better: my water
- also great to drink from: half-drunk mugs of water next to the sink
- string on a stick tonite 👀 stick on a string tonight queen?? stick on a string tonite 👀
- trying to reach spiders on the ceiling by climbing the curtains and window screens. sometimes even if the spider is in a different room
- you are 75 years old in human years why and how are you on top of the fridge
- when i go out of town and come back he does not do that aloof cat ignoring you thing, he runs to me the moment he hears my voice and looks at me and just purrs
- fears:
- crows
- and other birds, but less so
- candles
- guinea pigs
- sound of glass on glass
- sound of a bottle opening
- the outside, generally
- oscillating fan (when not turned on)
- smoke detector
- tinfoil
- somehow, NOT the hair dryer or the vacuum. those aren't scary. like a oscillating fan that is not actually in motion
- the social construction of gender (see below)
- crows
- absolutely nothing better than getting under a blanket
- lil nose wrinkling when he eats treats
- hauling books (especially comics) out from the bottom shelf of my bookcase
- the mabinogion
- namora (same issue pulled out twice)
- several empty bag/boards
- the social construction of gender
- this was on a higher shelf and he pulled it down on himself, hence the aforementioned fear
- things he has tried to convince me are a good treat for cats that i must share with him:
- irish breakfast tea
- he will scream for this every time. not english breakfast though
- 37.5mg venlafaxine xr
- irish breakfast tea
