I don’t usually post about my cat that much. Wait. Yes, I do.

March 6, 2013

in Random crap

Today I’m in New York on book tour.  Come see me?  Pretty please?

Until I’m back I’m posting old posts in the hope because you’ll think they’re new if you have ADD like me.  It’s a blessing.  And a curse.

************

 

Ferris Mewler is back from the animal hospital today, after losing both his claws (it was medically necessary.  Stop judging me) and his testicles (for cosmetic reasons.  Kidding.).  He’ll be in a hard collar for the rest of the week, much to the amusement of the other cats, whom he has mercilessly terrorized and bullied since day one.  I’m usually not one for sharing 200 pictures of my cat, but today it’s hard not to make an exception.  He looks like he’s dressed like a martini for Halloween.

Homecoming:

It's easy for cats to be sarcastic, because they can't accidentally laugh in the middle of their insults.

There was *nothing* accidental about this.

"What? Take a nap. I won't pee on you. WHY WOULD I?"

A lesser person probably would have considered making a game of seeing how many ping-ping balls she could throw in there, but *I* would never do that. BECAUSE I LOVE THAT DAMN CAT. And also because I don't own any ping-pong balls.

I do, however, own dry-erase markers.

The first picture has always been one of my favorites. I never noticed he is a polydactyl before.

It’s all fun and games until some stupid humans think it would be a good idea to put the Cone of Shame on themselves (after their 125lb Goldendoodle gets neutered) after a few three-many glasses of wine, and unbeknownst to her, her 18 year old daughter snaps a pic with her cell phone which then somehow, months later, gets printed and then mailed out with each of the family’s Christmas cards the following year, with the caption, “It was the only way to keep mom from using this as an Art Deco lampshade during one of her “Resolve to Re-Use Everything” phases she was going through.”

Not that I would know anything about that personally though. It happened to a friend of mine.

I LOVE the mustache! I think you showed great restraint to stop there. I would probably have drawn various other facial decorations all of the way around the cone of shame so I could turn it randomly for hours of endless amusement.

Almost as good as when my dog had to have bandages on both of her front feet for a week. She tried to walk on her hinds legs but couldn’t quite get the balance right. She ended up looking like a cross between a dancing circus bear and a drunk frat boy trying to crawl home. In the fine tradition of pet owners everywhere I took a video and then laughed every time I showed it to someone.

34 Kevin McCrank March 6, 2013 at 10:01 am

I wish I could have cats where I live… I had to leave my little black fat witches cat Artemis in Vancouver when I moved to Toronto.
I’m waiting for a new psychiatrist to call me and set up an appointment, I’ve been experiencing work related anxiety at my shit minimum wage job, as well as social anxiety when I hang out with people. I’m also scitzoaffective. I spend an inordinate amount of time alone… In that time I wrote a book of poetry. I self published it on lulu.com. It’s called Daydreams in the Darkness and is by me Kevin T McCrank. I’ve sold one whole copy in the two days its been up I’m doing pretty well.

I have this poem inside of the book…

Bitstream

Digital data flows
The lines are all closed
My bit stream cracks the wall
ICE begins to fall
I prepare the network
For my penetration
It takes only a moment
Of deliberation
Your trail heats up
In the digital ICE
I follow your lines
To the network signs
I am a digital Mind
The data drives me blind
Now I’m close
I can feel your robes
Intrusion detected
Firewalls active
File system freezes out
A crash ensues
I begin to shout
Now I know what its about
Your trail heats up
In the digital ICE
I follow your lines
To the network signs
I am a digital Mind
The data drives me blind
What was taken
I can see
I have a new system
Heating up inside of me
I am a digital construct
Activate self destruct
Intrusion detected
Virus active
Logout the system
Grid down.

Only about a dozen of the more than 50 poems have been posted on my blog. Now I just have to finish two web series I hope to get produced and the novelization of the good one of those. It’s a good thing I’m quitting my job to become a drug dealer. Only pot, but still, I’ll be living dangerously and selling what I use to deal with Anxiety.

When I first read “after losing both his claws” I thought “Huh? He only had two claws??”

I am curious as to why it was necessary to remove his claws, tho..?

Our cats had to do the cone thing after they got fixed. Mine (who’s daft) just patiently put up with it until we set her free. My housemate’s (who’s psychotic) ripped it off repeatedly until we stopped bothering. Neither of them seemed all that bothered :)

(He’s polydactl so he was born with lots of extra toes and the claws were growing into his paws. The vet recommended it. He was able to keep most of his back claws though. ~ Jenny)

Hi Jenny,
Is it weird that I a little bit think of you as an “internet friend”. You have such a bite to your humor and write in such a vulnerable way. I connect with it. So, thank you for doing that. I’ve been thinking of your book tour, and you’re coming through Kansas City later in the month. I want to go. I have no money. Okay, technically, I have money; I have $2.87 in the bank right now and there is likely a few coins under the dryer. Here’s the math: (Cold weather gas bills + working only a few hours)x depression = rough times. I don’t have the money, right now, to buy your book on order to attend the tour stop. Here’s my proposal, would you be willing to “donate” a book to me with the understanding that when I get the same cover price I will donate that money to a non-profit of your choice. No is certainly an option for an answer. It was just an idea that I had and I didn’t want to regret not asking.

All of that aside, thank you for your openness and support for all of us who are trying to survive our own mental illness. It’s hard and your writing lets everyone know that you get it.

Ferris Mewler is EXCEPTIONAL. But I have some kind of sick tabby fetish so don’t go by what I say here.

Our cat Patrick Henry had one of those cones, and he promptly went to the basement, grabbed it with all four paws and ripped it right off. He didn’t seem worried that he might rip off his own head in the process. In fact, I think he was almost hoping that’s what would happen.

I thought of this :
Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur, happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr.

…but it looks more like this :
Hard kitty, cold kitty, knotted ball of fur, angry kitty, cranky kitty, grr grr grr!

I’M A VIRGIN! I mean a blog commenting virgin. Although I would love to be the other kind of virgin again, then I could be the 42 year old virgin. SORRY… It’s my ADD… I got side-tracked for why I am commenting. I LOVE your blog. Ok, no that’s boring. But it’s true! I saw today that there are studies that show that Mother Theresa might have been starving people just so she could help them. So actually… YOU REALLY ARE “LIKE MOTHER THERESA, ONLY BETTER”!! Because you don’t starve people… and you are nice to cats… except when you have them pose in wigs. That’s not nice. It’s fucking HILARIOUS!!!

Lol, not to sound spamalicious or anything, but I love how this one was designed. Prior to reading this entry, they only time I had ever seen the “personal photos and captions to chronicle a funny story” method was on my own. Love the story too. Cats are hilarious. I grew up on a farm with literally thousands of cats who came and went over the years. At our cat’s lowest population phase, we had probably 25. And they were all descendants of the same cat named Grandma Cheeseburger (name was originally just “Cheeseburger” because during mating seasons, her ears would become scabby due to being bitten by male cats and my younger bro who was 3 at the time, pointed at them and called them “cheeseburgers.” Grandma because she became every cat’s grandma). Our cat supply became pretty inbred, for there is always one “big cheese” male cat of the farm who runs the entire territory and cock-blocks any other cat who tries to mate with it’s second cousins, first cousins, sisters, mother, great-great-great grandma, etc. because he is the only one allowed to do so. Have come up with all sorts of skits or shows involving our cats… When the prison show, “Oz” was popular, I considered making a spoof skit-series based off “Oz” with the tabby cats having Italian accents, the black cats having African American accents, the orange/yellow cats having Hispanic accents, the white cats sounding like white-collar Caucasians, etc. Fun times.

And I must admit, having a ping pong ball AND the moustache in and on that martini thing would be…..quite comical. He would be licking like crazy to get that ping pong ball out and every time he licked, he would appear to be licking something out of his moustache.

My husband currently hates me. I have been sitting here reading your posts to him while he attempts to sleep. I’m cracking up, my cat has turned to the evil eye, my dog said “fuck you” and took over my pillow, and my husband keeps asking me to shut up. Ever see the YouTube video of the annoying roommate on the bunk bed? Yeah… that’s my husband. Okay, I’m done rambling.

As a youth, I always wanted to just pour the cat food into the cone to see what happened. Never got around to it. Let me know if you try and the results.

You should pour cat food in his dome and watch the feeding frenzy.

I sometimes dress my dogs up to take pictures of them. I feel this is only fair because sometimes they do very bad things around the house. I like the mustache!

I used to have a cat named Winky who had to wear the cone of shame after his sex change operation (medically necessary – don’t judge me!) Far from being ashamed, though, he used it to his advantage. He figured out how to climb up on the cat tree while being cone-impaired, and then he would dive bomb the other cats with the cone making a nice whooshing sound to increase the terror of the victim. Then he learned how to take the cone off, but he liked it so much he learned how to put it back on. What a great cat!

Jean March 7, 2013 at 10:10 am, feei share the loss of shame and fun at their expense with you. when i had my beagle baby become gender neutral, s/he (shit for short) used it 24/7 as a scoop to throw balls at you to catch. if you weren’t aware a ball was coming at you was your own fault. i mean, nothing is ever a beagles fault. ask one. and they have no off switch…

Declawed cats generally learn to bite.

120 Pamela March 10, 2013 at 12:35 am

I am mourning the loss of my own kitty this week, but this has helped me to smile after a devastating loss! Thanks for helping me through this tough time with your awesome humor & imagination!

Did none of those who judged the de-clawing mention notice the term “medically necessary”? Do you honestly think that someone who cares about her pets so much would do that to a cat for her own convenience. Sheesh.

Mini-marshmallows would have performed excellently in lieu of ping pong balls. Do I have to do everything for you people?
