We used to have a cat that looked kind of like that, all fat and grey and cuddly. He thought he was a human, though. Had to give him up due to family allergies. Miss him :(
He looks very much like a little stray we adopted when I was about 9, and had mumps. I was miserable, sick in bed, and my Mom came into my room and said, "Look, I found a little ratfink in the street", holding this scrawny, shivering precious kitten.
Rat Fink became my special kitten. Bill looks SO much like she did - except her nose was pink, and Bill has that funny irregular-shaped grey patch on his! And of course, Bill has his beatnik beard, and Rat Fink was MUCH too feminine for a BEARD! :-)
Thinks he's human? Bill knows he's Crown Prince of Chesapeake Beach. Prince William the Fur(st).
* Life is change.
** Born in New Jersey. (A Jersey Girl, but I don't know "What Exit".) I went to college in Iowa. (NOT in a cornfield, but close.) I was a New Yorker. The proverbial Struggling Actor in Manhattan, and surviving pretty well for 20-something-ish years (I *heart* New York.)
*** Now I live below the Mason-Dixon line. (But I'm born and bred a YANKEE.)
***For awhile, I was an avid-almost-rabid runner, running WITH my camera much of the time. I have been experiencing some "aging ? and other issues", but I still doggedly clod-hoppily-plod my way through events, camera usually in hand. Now I'm even SLOWER than I used to be. *** :-P ***
** I used to help socialize local humane society cats in their foster home, and take photos for the website, but my Haven kitties moved to a farm in Virginia in May 2018. ~meow~
Awaiting my next incarnation, or not....***
I still have a phondness for photography & a recurring Flickr Addiction, so go see my photos!
