steveb leatherworks: the blather

We’ve got 2 cats at the secret location. I’ve always been a cat guy and the Boss is a cat gal – so in the many years we’ve been cohabiting , we’ve always had house cats as part of our life. They suit my disposition and they are great company, really adding alot to the overall ecosystem of our household.

yea, a little heavy – but believe me, people do some sick shit to animals – and I just cant handle it, it makes me nuts that people do things like abuse animals.

So Beano came to us as a save some 12 or so years ago as a kitten. She’d been saved as a tiny kitten by a cop who had seen a few kids kicking her after lighting her on fire. She’d gotten separated from her family and damn near killed.

She was brought to a vet by the cop, miraculously saved , gotten to a half way house where she was nursed back to health and then landed at our house as a small kitten, healed from her burns – but with a funny scar on her lip where she’d been kicked.

Beano is a funny cat, super affectionate only to the Boss and I,  in her own way, in her own space, in her own time. She has a definite personality and is very catty, in an aloof sort of way. Clumsy as hell, she is funny to watch play..as she really does’nt know how to. She’s not so big on kids….. wonder why.

More than most cats I’ve known, she loves her routines and rituals, and we are happy to oblige, because in a way – they are our rituals and routines now.

Beano is going to come back, reincarnated as an Animal Control officer… I am sure of it.  
Don’t fuck with the Bea-niss.
