Arrival Story:
I decided that Garp needed his own pet/companion, so my husband and I went to the local shelter to look for a kitten. We were told that Elvin had been found in a tree. I let my husband pick out the kitten, and he selected Elvin. I went back to look at Elvin the next day, and he was in a cage with another very sweet kitten. I guess Elvin suspected that I was considering adopting the other kitten instead. To get rid of the competition, he went over to where she was sitting and sat on her head!

Bio:
Elvin walks like he is bowlegged. A. named Elvin after the late drummer, Elvin Jones. H. suspects that is one of the reasons Elvin is so crazy. A. is not allowed to pick out cat names anymore.

The Strange Files of Elvin Jones


Picnic on the Rocks!

[ Leave A Comment ]

This weekend I finally had some real guy time away from my sisters. Victor Gibbs sent his Angel Brother Buddie to fly me to his house for a picnic on his rocks. I had the best time and I got to meet Buddie, who was so nice and reassured me that I wouldn’t get sick during the flight to visit Victor. Now I want my own pile of rocks!

I didn’t get the chance to meet Victor’s little brother because he was too shy to come out (and he was afraid he might do something naughty and get grounded again!). A couple of times, though, I did see a black whisker peek around the corner. Victor Gibbs said his little brother was attached to that black whisker. He must be a very big cat to have such a large black whisker! I told Victor how much of a pain it is living with two sisters and that he’s very lucky he only has a brother.

While I was visiting Victor, we played with my favorite toys that I brought along. Every once in awhile, a very pretty lady with a tiny Minnie Mouse voice would bring out yummy snacks for us to munch on. Finally, Buddie came back and said that my female human was looking for me and that it was time for me to go home. I curled up in a little ball on one of Buddie’s fluffy angel wings and before I knew it, I was home again and my sister Hilda was cleaning me. This was one of my best weekends ever!


Capes & Lobotomies

Sometimes my sister Hetty Miep tries to make me wear the Hetty Miep cape (which involves HM jumping on my back while she chews on my neck). Normally I run and hide under the couch to get away from her. A couple of weeks ago, I decided enough is enough and that Hetty Miep needed a lobotomy.

Not only did the lobotomy not work but the humans yelled at me when they saw the incision I left on HM’s head.

Female human: Elvin, how could you!! I am VERY disappointed in you. blah, blah, blah

The male human tried to stick up for me a little and suggested that maybe it happened while I was defending myself during one of HM’s attacks.

Later, they humans caught me licking HM’s head (which is something I never do).

Male human: What’s Elvin doing?

Female human: Pre-surgical prep. He’s prepping HM for another lobotomy!

I was just trying to be extra nice to HM. Really.


Jan Brady Syndrome

My female human says I have the Jan Brady syndrome again but if you look at my new main picture, I think you'll agree that I'm justified. I'm not even the main focus of the photo! I saw my human taking pictures of my siblings, so I did my best to get into every photo that she took. I think I succeeded for the most part, but I was either in the back of the photos or only part of me ended up in the photos. Plus, I was repeatedly told, "Get out of the way, Elvin! You'll get your chance later." And I never did!

Garp gets treated special because he's a geezer cat (120 years old in human years or something like that), and my sisters get special treatment because they're "the girls" and do "cute" girly things. *rolls eyes* But what about me? I'm on a diet, I don't get to sit on my female human's lap as often as I want, and I'm still waiting for my own photo shoot!
