Cat Astroff entered my life two months ago now. Everyday it´s the same ritual:he edges his way into the flat, in the direction of the kitchen and waits in front of the fridge till I give him some food. Day after day he has connected deeper and deeper to Sven, the other male in my life. Of course, animal or human being, the same male solidarity! Anyway, even if Sven is ill-tempered, he never before had the incredible audacity to refute my decisions, at least not directly. And then Cat Astroff, alias Chat-Guevara arrived… One evening, like always, I asked Sven to put the Cat outside for the night. Under the amused and vicious glance of the Cat, the beast deeply hidden within my man´s big belly awoke. The beast drew himself up to his full height of 170 cm and declared:
“I am the boss now, I take the decisions and I refuse to put the cat outside!”
So Sven and the Cat spent the night together on the sofa, warming each other. In rage I locked the bedroom door and spent the night alone there, in a cold bed, dreaming that I was locked in The Bastille and losing my head… like Marie-Antoinette. The worst thing being that it was an English cat leading the Revolution to the sound of “Amazing Grace”!
(to be continued… or not, depending on the state of my head!)
The picture is great! What a fantastic head, lots of character!
An English Cat leading the French revolution to the sound of Amazing Grace…….even Andrew Lloyd Weber wouldn’t have thought of that!!
Thank you Kevin, I am thinking about introduce a rocker in my next little story…But I will not try to draw him. So he will not have the same head than Cat Astroff (with black and curly hair)!
I dont’ know whether to applaud you for standing up to your men and making “them” sleep on the couch or worry about the beasts within your home. In any case I’m enjoying your humor and colorful chat character. I definitely am NOT going to let my cat know about Cat Astroff and his demanding ways.
That cat is evil. It will soon be sleeping in your bed with Sven while you are on the couch (and they will have the TV).
I strongly recommend renting a 25 lb mouse to rid the house of this scheming cat.
It’s a good idea Bill, but I am afraid that this revolutionary cat wins the 25lb mouse to his cause, showing her all the cheese I keep preciously in my fridge. In this case, without doubt, I will sleep in the couch to little for accomodate 3 beasts…
Susan, maybe could I send you Cat Astroff for an intensive training? If your cat is diplomatic at hearth, he will help mine to stay on the straight and narrow. If not, you will win an other original and colorful Cat. I go now to look at plane ticket, hoping that Sir Astroff doesn’t ask me for travel on first class!
Contessine: I propose you add wings to Cat Astroff in your next surgical procedure on him… for one it is cheaper, and then he might be happy to escape more often from your tyranny.
