two paws sticking out the carpeted cylinder, almost touching the window.

MAL got it before me. He/she looks like a blackie? We’re trying to find a home for one (who abandoned on our street) right now.

It is Vishnu our lovely grey meow-cat. :) Our white cat has been so bad as of late, yesterday I awoke with a start as there was a loud crash from our kitchen.
Fiona, or White Cat, is none too graceful and thus when she launches herself off the kitchen table, she goes one way and the table cloth goes the other way (because physics); but this time our glass tray holding the napkins and tissue were sent tumbling to the floor.
Thus, my morning before school was spent vacuuming up glass and herding the rest of the pets away from all the pretty shards of glass that littered the floor.
I swear that cat will be the end of me.

Good eye! Vishnu is tough to spot in his native environments :)

That is a gorgeous colour! Two of our five are fat (well, to be more accurate, one is more Harvey Keitel in form, the other is just plain old enormous), and they don’t even attempt to jump around. It’s human elevator all the way, which does tend to save the furniture and loose items :)

Just make sure your kitty doesn’t disappear altogether, show up at a professional sporting event and stumble upon a reporter stupid enough to interview drunken imbeciles on live TV. Trouble will almost certainly ensue.

Well, Vishnu is the semi-stealth cat of our residence. I’m sure his presence would do nothing but enhance and errant interview. :)

Arbourist,
Just make sure Vishnu, if not fixed, carries protection and certainly not a copy of the Kama Sutra. Cats sometimes behave very differently when out of sight of their families.
(Note: I have some opinions on the “cat calling” issue that are somewhat different than most here and have twice hesitated to post them for fear of getting my face clawed off.)

V is fixed, and while he loves looking out the window, if you open the door he sits on the sill and doesn’t go anywhere.
When out of view of his family, he is generally either asleep, or singing the song of his people in the echoey basement.

Well if that isn’t an invitation to a face clawing party, I don’t know what is. Enlighten me and provide a reasonable defense for how awesome you (apparently) think Catcalling is.

Cat calling can have variable effectiveness.
Dearly departed Lilith would usually come when called, unless she was outside. Crinkling a process cheese wrapper, on the other hand, would bring her running from just about anywhere.
Vishnu often comes when called.
I’m not sure White Cat understands that she has a name, though she does seem to get that if you make a particular gesture in her direction, it means there’s pettins on offer.

@sedate me – on a more serious note, please read the following, about why implying that feminists are violent and dangerous, is disingenuous and does not foster open exchange of ideas. http://www.shakesville.com/2012/12/feminism-101-helpful-hints-for-dudes.html

The Intransigent One,
Your link (and, ironically enough, it’s message) just is NOT working for me. But don’t worry. I don’t think for a moment that feminists are any more violent than anybody else in this Death Cult we laughingly call “humanity”. If anything, I suspect they’re probably less violent.
For the record, (and I think you all get it) the “cat calling” reference was just meant to keep the punny (Repeat: “punny”!) metaphors going. The actual act of “cat calling” human females is something I never understood the motivation for. Well, aside from showing people you’re a creepy, sexist, douche-bag…and perhaps proving you’ve “got the chops” to be part of a tribe of creepy, sexist, douche-bags.
The Arbourist,
Just because I’m a white, heterosexual, North American male (or just play one on the Interwebs) doesn’t automatically mean I am a complete fucking moron. (It’s probably only 75% of the time.)
Yes, I will write that enlightening, reasonable, defence of the unenlightened, unreasonable, offence that it is….and post it right in the place where one would expect it to be posted.
(Presuming I have a “75% moment” during the next couple of times I’m on-line. Apologies in advance.)

@sedate me – Because I haven’t gotten to know you well as a commenter, my feelings about your original comment were very mixed. Maybe you were just making cat puns? I posted a comment that carried on with that line of humour. But it kept on niggling at the back of my mind, and I felt I had to address it on a serious note too, just on the off chance you were doing the asshole thing of saying something reprehensible and then falling back on “it was just a joke” when called on it.
As the article pointed out, feminists are fucking sick of that particular joke, not only because we’ve heard it so many times, but because of the bitter, ugly irony, and boatloads of rank, unexamined privilege, it contains. So it’s pretty unsurprising that your joke didn’t go over quite as well in this space as you may have wished.

Good to know. This medium isn’t the best for nuance, so stuff happens.
I’m glad that you’re not an asshat of that particular calibre. :)
