Philo is 6. He has only had three legs since he was three ( thus, the blue "peg" in the picture) He gets around very well, actually. (he doesn't really have a peg...) He talks about everything. None of it makes much sense, but it is very, very persuasive & persistent if he wants something.
He decided, last evening, that he wanted to go out and be the guardian of the house- against what we don't know. He does this every now and then, when a stray will find our yard or maybe a raccoon--which I would not want him to encounter.
Philo thinks he's up to the task. He has played watch- cat for the whole of his life. He is a very fit animal, has to be with one less leg, but he has never had to be so watchful. He was fixed early, so he doesn't have those particular urges, but he thinks he is a big, mean Tom-cat!
I was reading in bed and he would not stop meowing. It was 1am and he still would not stop it. I fed him, petted him on his favorite spot and I told him he was staying in. I was finishing a book so I tried to wait him out, but at 2AM, I caved in and let him out.
I slept until 10am and he did come in until then, talking all the way,"meow, roaw!, roaw! merp, reow!" I wish I understood CAT. ANyway. this card is a tribute to the eternal talking cat--Philo.
