Coloration:

Likes:
Lying down. Eating. Rubbing his gums against his hairbrush.

Pet-Peeves:
Having his tail touched. Being picked up. Not having any food in the bowl.

Favorite Toy:
None -- Toys imply play which implies burning a calorie. But he did play with a shallot on the floor for 3 seconds recently.

Favorite Nap Spot:
The newest box or the sofa.

Favorite Food:
Just about everything, especially if it is in one of the other cat's bowls.

Skills:
Eating Junior's food before eating his own because Junior won't eat from Jake's bowl so Jake's food will still be there for him when Junior's is gone.

Arrival Story:
When I moved to Hoboken from the Philadelphia area, I was missing my cats (Tutti and Hobbes, who I had given away two years before). A work colleague approached me about his cats because he needed to find them a new home--he was getting married to a woman violently allergic to cats. I took in Jake and Sammy. (Interestingly, his fiance cancelled the wedding but he didn't ask for his cats back.)

Bio:
When Jake was sitting on my staircase, a few years later, some workmen came in the house and one says to the other, "Hey, look at this humongous cat!" OK, Jake is pretty darn close to humongous but he is (dare we say it) big-boned. When he stands up, his shoulders are 16" off the floor. He typically weighs in at about 20 pounds. He's a food hog. When the other cats nibble on their dinner and walk away, Jake cleans up the other bowls before emptying his own. How sly is that. We've been together 10 years and he hasn't figure out yet that he won't starve in my house.

Thank you Tyler Mr. Boombastic for reminding us of this nickname.





The Lyrics:
My old cat has eaten lunch and washed his hands and combed his hair; Now he's sitting in the sun in just his pants and underwear. When the lunch is done, he'll sit out on the porch and watch the street, Smoke an old cigar, and then come in and have a bite to eat. [the dog part] My old cat sits in the sun and turns his head and looks and blinks. Blows that dog a little smoke that says exactly what he thinks. I'm a cat and you are not and cannot be and I don't care. I just sit and look around and simply do not see you there.
