I've decided to begin profiling characters with meaning in my life. I will define "meaning" loosely and "in my life" loosely as well.
Meet Nobody, aka The Buddy Cat.
Who: One of my cats. Probably the best cat. Not that we tell any of the other cats this information, though we have said out loud that if the house were on fire, and we could only run back in for one, he'd be the one. It's a horrible thing to ponder so I just try not to. But this particular cat has more personality than any animal I know. I know. Everyone says these kind of things. Yawn, yawn. His name is actually Nobody, after the children's book
Goodnight Moon, as well as the character in the movie
Dead Man. It soon became clear, however, that he was going to get a nickname, like all cats in the family, and thus, The Buddy Cat.
Age: Almost 4
Likes: Popsicles, running water, anything smooth, anything fleece, yogurt, bugs, snow, talking incessantly, pinning down his sister's head and vigorously licking it.
Really doesn't likes: vacuums, thunder, alumninum foil, staying up past his bedtime.
