Miscellany of a Cheshire Cat

Apparently it’s Monster Cat week here. Tenny was impressively pathetic and emo today. Moping, sighing, whining, the works. And thus, we have these introspective photographs appropriately captioned with inner monologue. If this keeps up his nickname is going to have to change to “emo cat.” He’s already worn socks on his arm. He’ll be applying bad eyeliner and whisker-mascara next! Thankfully he can’t actually reach his face to do that so there’s some hope.

There’s a special PETA Hell for me. First I torment my cat with a serious bandage and elizabethan collar then I make light of his malady with photos and silly captions. I’m going to die only to find myself wearing a similar collar, my hands in big red mittens and unable to fit into the shower to bathe due to the width of the collar. Yep, I’m a horrible person but I’m just doing my duty to ensure that the Internet is properly populated with captioned cats! But it’s really quite like having Marvin the Paranoid Android wandering about the house the way he mopes. Of course, he is incredibly appreciative of any attention, petting and scritches and he gets plenty of all three. He is quite insistant about attention, especially whilst he knocks things off my desk.

Hopefully he’ll get his collar and bandage off on Thursday before he starts painting his claws black and listening to trance music.
