He Ain't Heavy, He's His Brother

by Greg Prince on 23 October 2007 9:34 am

That little fellow with all the stripes is Hozzie when he was a kitten, in the fall of 2002. And that black and white bolster with ears on which he’s resting? That was his big brother Bernie, the cat gracious enough to share his space with an adoring newcomer. Several months after the passing of our beloved Casey, and with the Anaheim Angels’ march to the World Series serving as stirring backdrop, it was a blessing to have Hozzie make us a two-cat family again.

  I always love your cat pictures and stories,,,,
  I,too, have the connection between kitties and baseball. I'm not sure what it's about…I just know it exists.

  And yet neither one of us is a Tigers fan. Go figure.

  I love them!!! Bernie was a big boy! When the Fresh Direct guys drop off the grocieries, Napoleon Dynamite always greets them and the one guys says – Hey! It's the fat cat! I'm gonna have to put you on a treadmill!! Napoleon D hates it when I watch baseball though – it not only means he's not the center of attention but when I clap or yell at the TV or something, he gets really spooked!! It's also nice to see the two kits of yours sleeping on the same bed…I have a big bed, and Napoleon claims my feet – Cassie claims the top by me, but lord help her if Napoleon sees her – he gets jealous! He wants all the Coop time. LOL :)

  Wouldn't you figure cats who hear people clap and cheer regularly would get used to it? Thunder doesn't bother Hozzie or Avery. But a reaction to a home run (the good kind or the Mota kind) frightens the spit out of them.

  A cat picture says a thousand words is all I meant. No need for snideness.

  My guys definitely know when Wagner comes in in the ninth. They head for the closet or the basement …..because I'm screaming or cursing or whining.
