He preferred cats to people
Today is the sixteenth birthday of Abbie the Cat. I am told the occasion is usually celebrated with sushi. I don't know where you're supposed to direct well-wishes unless you spam Rob with them, but I don't know that that would be such a bad thing. Doppel-Abbie will send his regards.
This is a blurry photo, but I like it for Abbie's big kitten eyes, which he is known to employ shamelessly in the pursuit of anything he thinks (or hopes) edible. Taken in January, right before Rob went out to play Tom Stevens in The Day the Earth Stood Still at Arisia. Abbie did not appear in the production.
And now I've posted a cat picture on the internet.

Photographic evidence?
Abbie had a sister, Martha, for many years. I never had the chance to meet her, but I've drunk rum to her memory. She was the pirate cat.

Excellent!

He's very handsome indeed. Nice to have a face to go with his blog, so it is.
And now I've posted a cat picture on the internet.
I was about to say that you've made yourself more a part of the modern world than I have done, but then I remembered that I took a photo of the mystery cat that hangs round our house and posted it on Facebook. Oh well.

I believe he considered it so. There was interesting food—which he was even allowed to eat—and no one stapled his butt. I'd forgotten that happened around this time last year.
(Contractors left door open, cat got into basement, spiky bit of basement got into cat's flank, cat got called staplebutt for the next month or so. He recovered.)

He can be surprisingly majestic if he puts his mind to it.
I haven't had a cat in my life on a regular basis for years. I am very fond of this one.

Now I feel I should post a cat picture, too.

Go for it! National holiday! Like the internet needs an excuse!

I do not know! He was given to me so many years ago, I don't remember the date. He was rediscovered on March 8th of this year, however, so I will choose to celebrate that from now on.

I do not know, but I approve of it.

He's right here at my knee, so I've told him.
And yes, Sonya, once you've gone through the gateway of posting a Cat Picture on the Internet, you will never quite be the same again.
I'm still opting out of badly spelled macros.

I suspect the cats of writers are less susceptible to such things. Or at least they're afraid we'll constantly correct them.
