Mattie...the "Juvenile Delinquent Cat"

______________________________

I  guess you'd say I have a "love-hate" type of relationship with my studio cat "Mattie." I sorta inherited her as a baby kitten. 

See... I was never a big cat lover as a boy. In fact... I kinda enjoyed teasing all the cats in the neighborhood. Pulling their tails etc... I still have a little scar on my arm to prove it.

I look at Mattie as a way of paying back my "Cat Karma." I have grown to love her independent way and she's a permanent part of the studio now. She's actually caught 5-6 mice throughout the years. One day she wiped out about 5 fountains in the stock room. I'd like to think she was chasing a mouse but who knows?

When she's really, really bad... I remind her that they eat cats in some parts of the world. But that doesn't seem to phase her...

I swear I'm not making this up... but she is actually tipping something over in my front room as I type. If there are any Cat shrinks out please there let me know... I gotta go check out the damage!
