Mr Sir: Face-to-CatFace

Thank you!

I try to pass along my half century of wisdom…

Halloween feel? Yes, very much and that’s the problem for Mr Sir. Oh well, better safe than sorry. :-/

Thank you, Trudi! Not as clear and sharp as many of yours but I love it too. :-) This 2-year old loves my shoelaces – the ones I can’t keep tied. He’s also a serious ham. I could probably pose him in a full evening gown for a photograph and he’s sit thru it. LOL!

Whew. You really walked the tightrope with THAT response! I thought you liked dogs, like that golden retriever(?) in your avatar.

OK, that’s TWO of you walking the same tightrope! I hope neither of you sneezes or you’re BOTH going to bite it. LOL!

I’m positive Mr. Sir would be a heartbreaker if he had the guts to leave the courtyard of the apartment complex. Seems he prefers it here since almost all the tenants open up and let him in for a spell, even when his human IS home! LOL!

Worry not, my dear. When you turn 50, you’ll suddenly just feel it and nobody can tell you differently. Heck, you’ll be just like a teenager again! LOL!

LOL! Cool. :-D

Too late, babe! Read it and weep. LOLOLOL!

Thanks but Mr. Sir deserves all the credit since he literally posed for me willingly. If you were here right now, you’d hear him vocalizing out of the apartment window next door. Who knows what he’s saying but he’s certainly saying a lot of it. LOL!

Oh, I try. I try. Usually fail but I try. :-D

Thank you! Mr Sir’s eyes are some of the most expressive eyes I’ve seen in a cat. Between then and his constant chatter, he makes his wishes known to all rather easily – sometimes at really crummy times but we all love him anyway. BTW, he gets along with dogs who are not too pushy or loud so the other neighbours pets can hang out with him if they behave themselves. LOL!

I commented on the calibration issue and use of a good monitor on another response so I won’t bore you here. But again, I’m glad you got a chance to see this piece as it was intended to be seen. :-)

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was the most original (and hysterical) response I’ve received to date! LOLOLOLOL!

Well smartie, Mr. Sir will be shown his “pin-up” when I take the laptop outside to him on Monday. As for his “neighbourly human”, he’s OUT-OF-TOWN right now and about to perform at a gig in front of dozens of drunk people, jumping up and down, posing like a rock star, and maybe – just maybe – even getting FLASHED by somebody without a hairy chest. So, I have LOTS to do….occasionally. BRAT!

Thank you very much. It was a ‘fun write’! What’s really nice is that Mr Sir got thru the Halloween season just fine and meets me at my door daily these days. :-)

Oh, there are plenty of us who care like you do. In fact, we cry for the same reasons; I am no exception. But what’s beyond tears is what’s happening since our election here in America. Like the prejudice against black cats, the prejudice against black people is coming out of the woodwork like ants from a fire. As far as I can tell from the news, nobody has died yet but the threats, the hanged dummies, the posters advertising pools for when Obama will get assassinated, the vandalism, and the kids copying their parents by chanted things like “Death to Obama!” are nationwide. Sadly, black cats may not be the only things we care enough about to cry for. :-(

Thank you! Mr Sir and I have become even closer in the last month. I got (in my opinion UNFAIRLY!!!!) stopped from working for a while and he’s become a fixture at my door. What’s hella funny is that his human was sitting outside her apartment yesterday and he all but fought me to get in the door first. LOL! I was soooooooooooooo embarrassed and I think his owner was too because he obviously wanted to be in my place while hers was easily available, complete with ‘mommy’. I actually had to toss him far enough away to allow me to get the door open, get inside, and lock it before he had time to get back and open it. I have no doubt he can open doors; the boy is SMART and rather lanky. He can reach a doorknob easier than a child and I’ve already seen him do some rather complicated tasks with two paws and a bit of ingenuity. If I wake up some nite with fur on my nose, I’ll know why the door is open and I hear this purring sound…

Thank you very much!

Thank you. :-) The cat is my “bestest buddy” because of his character. And what a character he is! Tree climbing is something cats do for a short time and usually not just up there for just hanging out. This sucker will go up there and wait to scare the everlovin’ SNOT out of someone who doesn’t know a BIG black cat hangs out in our trees! If I didn’t know better I’d think he was waiting for lunch to fly by and be just as surprised!

He will pose in a heartbeat so he’s getting half credit for modeling. That means you owe him a small can of Friskies (any flavour) as a fee. LOL!

This cat as eyes as expressive and loving as any creature I have even known.

Cora, that brought tears to my eyes. How wonderfully thoughtful of you!

Woo hoo! Thanks again! :-D

I thank you very much tho it didn’t really take much to “capture” a cat that’s so much a ham he could be bacon. LOL!

Thank you, and thank you again! Animals are so vital in our personal lives that I can’t imagine people who aren’t yet adopted. :-) I can assure you black males (or type) talk like crazy. LOL!

I have the best of all possible worlds. I live next door to a wonderful woman with a wonderful cat who is now my best friend. I live in downtown Sacramento and it is FULL of people-loving cats who will accept a stranger’s quick scratch in exchange for a purr. And most important of all, most animals see me as non-threatening so I rarely need to ask twice for a quick bit of shared love. Of course, I “shared” the butt of my pants with one dog and I’ve “shared” my fingers with a few annoyed geese but, for the most part, we meet ‘strangers’ and part ‘strangers-with-a-smile’. :-D

OMG! That last line was absolutely AWESOME! LOLOLOLOL! Thank you from both of us. :-D

“Race relations” is just wrong from beginning to end. We are ONE RACE and the more people feel the need to find differences between each other, the more separatism is created. The next generation of people is truly a godsend and will probably nuke about 90% of the “old school” ideas while they steadily ignore the foolishness of the past. I can forgive grandparents. I can even forgive some of the generation just before mine. But the people my age have to damned excuse for being choosing to be bigots. Thank God the kids we’ve left here are smarter than some of us are. LOL!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful bit of reality with all Red Bubble readers and members. It too will go a long way towards paving the path for the “race-free generation” following us.

(All that said, I am sooooooooooooooo ‘politically incorrect’. If you read other things I have written, you’d better remember that THIS is how I feel intellectually and _THIS is how I have fun. LOL!

Alas, Mr Sir moved but there are enough shot still available for his stories to last a bit. :-)
