Bio:
R.I.P. Spike ~ 1993 - 16 August 2008 Spike had a few bad days, since he became ill several weeks ago. But, the next morning, he was always pacing by my bedroom door, eager for attention and the high-calorie treat -- condensed milk -- prescribed by his vet. But not this morning. This morning, he was lying on his side, unable to move except to lift his head and look at me. I took care of the other animals, then wrapped Spike in a towel and sat holding him. He was as stubborn about dying as he was living. A few spasms, a few purrs and meowrs, and three hours later, he died in my arms. It seemed to me that he left me before his body gave up, but perhaps not. I suspect he will never leave me entirely; his personality is too big to just vanish to nothing. It will always hover about here in some way -- reminding me to ask for what I want, to pursue it, to insist on giving and receiving attention and affection. His eulogy, a bit premature, is here.  He could always outlast me.

I'm something of a bully, but I'm well-intentioned. I have a particular fondness for men, and teddy bears.

I play at Watermark, especially on Fridays. I earned my human a mention in The New York Times for Friday Cat Blogging! My human has a whole page of cat web links: CATS.

My human wrote about me here. You can also find me at Flickr.
