The New Guy

Sooooooo, I haven't posted here in a long time.

There's not too much going on right now. I survived the recent fires. The WGA strike won't affect my gig, luckily, because we don't have union writers. Along those lines, however, we're between shows right now, so I'm not working anyway. I just have to play video games all day. It's a rough life.

I also have time to play with my NEW CAT! His name is MC Scout Whiskerton I (or just "Scout"). He had crawled up into my buddy's wife's car engine compartment about a month ago for warmth, and she discovered him only after she had driven home from work--a 45-minute commute. He somehow survived the ride, and my buddy offered him to Jessie and me because he and his wife already had two cats of their own. I'd been wearing Jessie down for a while about getting a pet, and she finally caved with this one because he was a Miracle Cat (hence the "MC" in his name) for surviving a 45-minute ride under the hood of a car.

He's really playful and sociable, which is great because we have people over all the time. It'd be pretty terrible if he just hid under the bed the whole time.

Here are some pictures and movies of the little guy:

 

Here's the little guy hanging out with me as I play some video games.


 

Here's him all bundled up.


 

Here's him asleep with his bear.



Here's the little man on the prowl.



Like a dog, he takes his toy bear with him everywhere. (Or at least he did that for a good half an hour today.) He was multitasking, too. He would have the bear in his mouth while scratching me, for instance. Or while scratching the couch. Or did I mention he's getting declawed?
