archiemcphee:Cats are moody creatures, just like people. They have ups and downs, good days and bad. British author Tom Cox is no stranger to feline moods. He has five cats and one of them is sad. His name is The Bear and he’s so very, very sad that Cox started a Twitter feed called WHY MY CAT IS SAD. He also wrote a book, which can be found in the Archie McPhee Library, entitled The Good, the Bad, and the Furry: Life with the World’s Most Melancholy Cat [Buy on Amazon]. Just look at this worldweary face:“While other cats throw their weight about in various ways, punching each other & killing rodents, The Bear adopts a pacifist lifestyle and prefers to spend the day following me around, staring at me with his big saucer eyes, which seem to contain all the world’s sadness. I did once catch him sitting alone with a dead mouse but I think another cat had killed it, and he just wanted to read some elegiac poetry to it.”But what about those other 4 cats who live with Cox and The Bear? Well one of them is named Ralph and, instead of perpetual sadness he tends to be impressively smug. That’s part of why The Bear is so sad and why Ralph has his own Twitter feed called WHY MY CAT IS SMUG:One more of Cox’s clowder of cats has his own social media stream. Shipley is a black cat with a penchant for profanity. On Twitter he’s MY SWEARY CAT and much of what he says is, unsurprisingly, NSFW.Click here to learn more about all of Cox’s kitties and the books he’s written about them. Cox documents all of their adventures on a thoroughly entertaining blog called Under the Paw.[via Neatorama] -- source link
