Funny Pic, Tim!
Yep, there are pictures of Igor on the pages before.
He looks just like average long hair cats do, at least seen on the fly. from there I can roughly understand how cats appear all the same for many people for their outer appearance won´t tell much, the less for missing mimic musculature.
In the same time as we all know kitten are individual as can get. And Mr. Igor certainly is one of a kind. Very sensitive and considering.
I´m currently sleeping in the studio room. For there is exhaust gas leaking into my bedroom ( have been inhaling it since four years now until I found out what and where, and that while paying rent 72% over average level.
My gig at the vet at 2:00 am lately was definitly due to intoxication. - growling, winking, smacking - The vet wouldn´t know how to analyze about gas, but took the chance to make general check up etc. )
That means that Igor is at the gear without control during the night. How easily could he scratch my speakers membrane ( the more as he finds them rather interesting ), it must be too attractive to stick your claw through something so tensioned, but he won´t, because he knows that I wouldn´t like him treating it.
There are so many things a cat might like to do that he passes on just for me, without me needing to make a big deal of "explaining" it to him.
I feel bad for people who never experienced about friendship to animals. It takes you further in comprehension and empathy, and humans without teachers like that are naturally missing essentials behind the fence.
