The story of Lopsided Cat

In what wise is The Great Cat lop-sided?

I detect no rabbitness or misproportioning either on the right or the left of His Greatness. In fact, he looks like our appallingly handsome Maine Coon (now in the Happy Hunting Grounds) who spoke four words of English appropriately.

I think the cats likes the sound, as opposed to the moving air? When I was a kid our cat used to sleep behind the fridge next to the compressor.

Dear God! I’m too late. Bethumbed cats could learn to use weapons. They’d be even worse than giraffe ninjas. I guess the only thing to do is attempt to breed polydactyl cats with a sense of loyalty to their helper monkeys.

I was really just showing how jealous I am of people in cooler climes. With our over 95% humidity, 90 often feels like 110 or 120, & rain only makes it feel hotter. Right now it feels like a sauna at night, & honey roasted hell during the day.

Lopsided Cat knows a good thing when he feels it. Smart kitty.

my Maine Coon (Loki) used to sleep in the sink when it was hot – the cast iron would just suck all his body heat. He also liked sprawling in windowsills (of the window was open) , on top of ac vents etc – he alos liked getting (a little) wet – he would play in the bathtup and chase the water down the drain and was facinated with running water.
I miss that darn cat

Eric@23 – I have a polydactyl too (full thumbs, semi-functional – i.e. she can’t hold something like a pencil, but can use them for leverage) who is, shall we say, less than brilliant. My explanation is that the extra toes are diverting blood that was meant for her brain.

My housecat (rather, the cat whose home I share) deals with the buildup of heat by being proactive. She is very careful to do as little as possible that could generate heat, preferring to spend whole summer days lying in front of a fan.

O Great Scalzi, what an excellent picture of Mighty Lopsided Cat.

The Executive Committee of The Official Ghlaghghee Fan Club thanks you for your prompt posting of a picture that helps wipe away the trauma induced in us by this picture:

Naturally, as usual you have misinterpreted His behavior. In fact, Mighty He is substituting the cool wind of the air conditioning unit for the embracing gale of Perfection that emanates from Her Most Glorious Shimmering Radiant Magnificence while She is away on Vital Business.

Really, just leave the commentary to the experts of The Official Ghlaghghee Fan Club. You don’t see us trying to tell you how to write your books, do you?
