the cat
By popular demand, here is a cat based post. I have nothing cat-based to say. I don't like posting pictures of the cat when I have nothing cat-based to say, but as luck would have it, I bought a book of Charles Bukowski poems at lunch time today that happens to have a poem called the cat which I reproduce for you here. This probably breaks all kinds of copyright laws, and so no doubt this post will end me up in the slammer. Never mind.Oh, here's some pictures of Jimmy the Cat that I took earlier in the year, and only just uploaded to Flickr.
the cat
the hunter goes by my window
4 feet locked in the stillness of a
yellow and blue
night
cruel strangeness takes hold in wars, in
gardens-
the yellow and blue night explodes before
me, atomic, surgical,
full of starlit
devils...
then the cat leaps up on the
fence, a tubby dismay,
stupid, lonely,
whiskers like an old lady in the
supermarket
and naked as the
moon
I am temporarily
delighted.

If, like me, you wanted a conversation from Chris with his cat, I have tried to fill the void with my own conversation between Chris and Jimmy, the cat. Find it here...

Yey, cat pictures! I hate cats!!!
Jimmy should be on TV. And I'm not just talking about rubbish adverts for cat food. I'm talking about his own show. He's clearly more talented that some of those humans who get paid millions...
(BTW, I like the picture where the snot's dripping from his little wet nose!)
Oh... I just remembered.
Where are the Comic Sans fonts you promised us!?
The problem, Coco, is that I don't have any conversations with the cat. The conversations all came from Tibbles, and she's long gone. Jimmy is incapable of communication with human beings, other than to say he wants something without actually telling you what it is he wants.
The Cat: I WANT SOMETHING
Me: Just shut up you selfish bastard
The Cat: I WANT SOMETHING
Me: Shut up shut up shut up
The Cat: I WANT SOMETHING
The Cat: I WANT SOMETHING
The Cat: I WANT SOMETHING
The Cat: I WANT SOMETHING
Me: SHUT THE FUCK UP, OR I'LL PUT YOU DOWN.
See? Not funny. You'll read about me in the papers. "Summer of Chris" they'll call it. Man goes mental after continuous torment from cat. Started to believe cat was telling him to go out and kill people.
Chris, these pictures are fantastic! I almost missed Jimmy for a moment there, until I remembered the dribble and the fact that he always wanted to sleep on top of Nick. Definitely a conflict of interest there.
This has made me really quite emotional.
