It's been a while since this blog has featured Tommy, our vicious attack cat.
Don't let that relaxed demeanor fool you: underneath that soft, cuddly, squishy exterior lies...
...well, we're not sure what lies there because the exterior is so soft, cuddly and squishy that it repels all attempts to find any hint of anything underneath.
This is another of Tommy's favorite positions, along with Flying Kitty, Drooling Kitty and Kitty on a Spit.
For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why on earth he'd drape his considerable bulk along the arm of a chair like this. I mean, how can that be comfortable? His legs hang off the sides and his belly spreads out beneath him like a...like a huge spreading thing (extra points for Blackadder fans).
Then a friend of mine pointed out the obvious conclusion: he thinks he's a tiger.
That's right: my fat, lazy large, energy-conserving kitty has delusions of grandeur.
Well, he sure has the "lazing in a tree" part down. Let's see which other tiger characteristics he has, shall we?
- Eating one fifth of his body weight at one sitting? Check.
- Spending all his time between meals simply sleeping or drinking? Double check.
- Chasing down prey? Not so much
- Eating once every 7-8 days?
LADY, ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!
That's OK, Tommy. One step at a time. Start with the stuff you're good at.
