Rent-a-Cat, Therapy for Loneliness
This is Koosi a.k.a. The Mighty Goddess Bast in 2008.
This is Koosi three days ago. She used to be a skinny cat until…ooh, topic for future column.
Stop the presses—or take that finger off the “Publish” button. Someone’s just made a live action movie starring cats.
We’ve noted the dearth of substantial roles for cats in recent movies, which is not only unjust but illogical since cats are great screen presences. You don’t even have to write a part specifically for a cat: just find an elegant character with an air of superiority and put a cat in the role. But how will the cat deliver her lines, you ask. Simple, you get a human to dub the dialogue. You should try it, it can only improve the movie. Don’t even explain what the cat is doing there, just carry on as if it’s the most normal thing in the world. Viewers will think it’s a psycho-drama, or a European art-house flick.

One day, I will have a cat again and be less lonely. But first, a decent apartment.

chronicler — yes for a cat and a decent apartment!
Leggy is sooo adorable. And it’s true, the cat adopts you. My gosh, I don’t know how my cats put up with me haha. I know they secretly give each other the “look” when I go bonkers lol.

Might overly hug and squeeze a cat with this awesome size and cuteness.

My cat is getting bigger and bigger, she’s only 2!!! I fear she’s going to turn obese. Maybe someone should create a feline gym.
A new cafe in the town I live in (Xiamen, China) has a cat theme and they have two cats living in the cafe. Since I have a cat I don’t need to go to the cafe, but I would definitely spend more time there if I was short of feline companionship. My poor cat has to deal with so much emotional baggage from me… wait, maybe that’s why she’s turning chubby!
