He was a tard.

Old Blue was Yukon's brother. He was white but not snowy white more like a lightly nicotine stained ivory and he had blue eyes. One looked forward and the other looked not quite forward.

As I said, he was a "special" cat and if he wasn't prone to random violent outbursts, he would have been the feline version of Lenny. You could look at his face and just hear in your mind "Tell me about the rabbits again, George"

Old Blue liked beer. I would open one and give him a bottle cap full. He'd lap it up and then look happy, and I suspect if he could he would say 'pull my paw' and fart.

He didn't age well. As he got older, he got fatter and stupider and scruffier. I think he was the only cat I ever met that smelled like a dog. He was happiest when he had beer, food, and some dirt to lay down on.

As our kittys aged and were well into their teens, Mrs d8 joked that with our luck Old Blue would outlive them all. She also suggested that when he croaked, we should have him taxidermied and filled with buckshot and use him as a doorstop. I allowed as that would be the most useful that Old Blue had ever been.

Well, Old Blue did outlive his siblings, but when he died we did not taxidermy him. I dug a grave for him next to Yukon's and Medusa's and as I was putting him in a box with a bottle of beer (for the afterlife) I made note of the fact that he didn't smell quite as bad as when he was alive.

my only regret about living in an apartment is no north-facing windows so i can grow herbs or small plants. i tried a grow-light but it doesn't have enough power, so i'd have to invest in two to make it work :/

may look into a communal garden thing next year, i think that would be fun. i'd murder someone for some good peppers, maybe a melon or two.

wu buck wild wit tha trigga


i was just reminded of this record during a conversation about 'cat acceptable music'. i have an autographed vinyl copy, complete with 'kitten of the year' calendar poster. i think i paid $3 for it. the first song on it totally sounds like some poo poo your cats would get down to when you're not around. the rest of it is pretty much total crap.

In 1966, Old Blue escaped from Shawshank prison. All they found of him was a muddy pile of hairballs, a bottle of beer, and an old rock hammer, drat near worn down to the nub.

Old Blue - who crawled through a river of poo poo and came out cleaner on the other side.

What is everyone's favorite automated cat box? I have a Litter Robot, which owns, but two of my cats won't use it. I also have a Scoop Free automatic, which is ok, but I'm sick of paying for crystals.
