Sorry for the sappiness, but I found an old picture (I think 2002?) of me and Mr. Cat when I first got him. Isn't he cuuutte? Awwww (gags, apologizes). What you don't know is that he is HUGE, fully capable of taking out a small army of possums, and has been known to attack actual trucks.He is, however, a "people person". For example, when I lived in Greensboro I was awoken at 3:00 am by a huge fight at a party next door. I looked out the window, and there were probably about 10 people scuffling around in a drunken fervor. Interesting to be sure, but out of the corner of my eye I saw a large gray object. Sure enough, Mr. Cat walked straight into the middle of the mêlée, with his usual "Hey guys, what's up?" look on his face (I'm talking RIGHT into the middle of it). They were oblivious, legs stomping and arms flailing. Mr. Cat obviously felt it was his duty to record such odd human behavior. I ran outside, and the cops showed up. Mr. Cat sat right next to them, fascinated by the flashing lights and random yelling. The cops got a big kick out of it!
Anyway, the legacy of Mr. cat is far from over, and he continues to astonish me in one way or another!
(note: I apologize for the typical blogger "look at my cat!" post! Carry on)

That's a great story! I had a cat in my undergraduate days. He escaped from my apartment twice, and a car hit him the second time. I found him at the humane society, covered in dirt but OK. Poor thing.
Wow, BbB, tough cat - an escape artist AND impervious to cars!
Note: I think the picture was taken in 2002 (?) - he is much calmer now, mellowing out in his old age. He'll still attack once in awhile, though, just to shake things up a bit.
We kept Mr. Cat one time when Jarod went to a conference. I kept hearing this pattering noise in the kitchen but couldn't see anything. Then, I looked up. Mr. Cat was running around on top of the kitchen cabinets. Without shame, he was having fun!
And so ...
A wonderful squib
A passing smile
Why apologize for giving this to any who cares to read?
Those who don't care left already.
See your past on Why History for all the reasons this post is every bit as valid as the latest fulminations of the gods of the intartubes
Thank you for sharing it.

Aww, no apologies necessary - Mr. Cat certainly deserves a post. Hi Mr. Cat!
Trucks of the world beware!! Mr. Cat will strike again. He won't say when, he won't say where, he won't say how, but he will get his revenge!!
That's right, Amy...right now, somewhere deep in the crevices of my townhouse, he is waiting, plotting. Gathering information about the Humans.
the Humans..... and their TRUCKS! No one will be spared!
