Description
This might be a photo that predates my inspiration of my novel, or very close to the month I thought of my novel. This was my sister's cat that came to stay with me in my first apartment. His name was Mikey, he would die one year after this photo was presumably taken on March 17, 2002.
Mikey was a very loving cat, born in San Antonio, in 1988, he would come to live with my family around 1989. He adopted us and my other cat, Butterfinger, put up with him. Mikey moved alot with my family, and lived with various family members in many places... Texas, Virginia, Oregon, and Colorado. He came to live with me after I graduated from college due to some of his issues with my cat that was fine with my parents.
Mikey was claustrophobic, skittish, a scaredy cat, and very pudgy. He wasn't a fat cat until he came to live with the Gobers. He got his name because he would just about eat anything you put out in front of him: "Mikey, likes it..." He hardly ever turned his nose up at anything, and had a purr you could hear from miles away.
He did have some potty issues, and missed the litter box often in his later years thanks to territorial issues with my cat Butterfinger. He had claws but never used them in anger, but god forbid you put him in the bathtub, or in a box. He lived a long life, and holds a special place in my heart. Even though he wasn't mine to begin with, he was certainly mine in the end. I miss Mikey and hope that he has found a heaven where he can freely pee anywhere he wants to.
Oh yeah, the photo... I love this photo because of the shape he made. He almost mimics the ball of socks rolled up beside him Plus the color was fun.
