Arrival Story: Dusk had it tough on his road to me. He was living with my best friend, but when she got the flesh eating virus, she had to give up all her cats. Dusk was her favorite & when I found out, I decided to take him & try to find a home for him. I did find him a home with a friend of my nephew, but unfortunately she was either unable or unwilling to take care of him properly. When she was evicted from her apartment, she asked me to take him back "until she got back on her feet". Although she promised food & money to help, she never came thru with the promise. He had lost weight, was frightened & hid when he first came back. Now he's back to his proper size, is fearless, & very lovable. Needless to say, she's not ever getting him back.
Bio: Dusk is the ultimate schmoogler. He has a unique purr - part purr, part smooch, part gurgle. A smurgle. He is very demanding & feels that dinner should be served the moment I walk in the door. He has to be fed apart from the girls, because he gobbles up his share fast & goes after theirs. I have to give them a fair chance to get their fill by feeding him in my bedroom with the door closed. He sure lets me know when he's done, though. I'm just waiting for the day when he figures out how to turn the doorknob & open the door. Dusk is my constant nightly companion. He would no more think to let me sleep alone than he'd think not to eat. Bedtime is for snuggling under the covers & purring me to sleep. Anything less just doesn't work for him.

Calm and cool on the outside, feisty and determined on the inside, Dusk is everyman athlete Tiger Woods!
Dusk proved at an early age that he had the skills to pay the bills, running circles around the competition when he was just a wee whippersnapper. Thanks to his tremendous successes, Dusk has set aside an entire wing of his luxurious shelter just to house his collection of trophies and ribbons. A high-class pet with exquisite taste, Dusk prefers to be seen with long-legged female mates, preferably those bred from Scandinavian lines. Unwilling to rest on his haunches, Dusk has no time to hang out at the 19th hole and pet himself on the back - he's got a lot more green grass to frolic across before throwing in the towel.
Yep, I sure did. I thought I could ask fur votes in a cat-test. Well, at least let others know I was running in a cat-test. And den it all blowed up in mine whiskers. Seems anofur kitty is getting votes fur dis monf, May. Mine cat-test doesnt start till June. But fur some reason, votes can already start fur June. So my alert got peeps to vote fur me & take away votes fur da ofur kitty.
Now I's gettin yelled at by dat kitty's voters. Doesnt matter dat I was votin fur him tew. Oh mews, I dontz like being yelled at. Ifn I could step outta dat cat-test now, I would.
*sigh*
I gonna go take a nap & stay outta trubble ifn I can.
I would like to thank Spike & Wiggy fur da rosettes. It is nice to be recognized fur da cool cat that I am.
My meowmie calls me "Man Guy" or "Kitty Guy" sometimes, so she understands I'm not a stinky boy cat. She doesn't call me Kitty Man, because that was a special name that belonged to her Rainbow Kitty Chevy & no cat can ever take his special name.
And let me tell you all, living with both a Tortie & a Calico is tough work. One gives me tortitude & the other gives me calitude. And both are heavily mixed with EXTRA catitude. The worst of it is, that Isis, the tortie, is my NIECE. Isn't she supposed to respeck me?
Humpf. Well, at least I have another orangie liffing wif me - Clarisse. We're buddies, because we know that orangies are the best.
