I hope it's good; I've had a heck of a time finding good books with male protagonists lately.</p>Leila commented on 'This week's column at Kirkus...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2015431f1e140970c2011-04-25T21:25:45Z2011-04-25T21:25:45ZLeilahttp://bookshelvesofdoom.blogs.comI LOVE IT.

<p>Almost dog-like--he follows me around (wouldn't leave the bathroom during my shower, cried a little when I wouldn't let him into my room last night (stray cat=fleas), constantly twining around the ankles. But definitely not groveling--he's got dignity. And SO good tempered, considering that horrible, horrible hole in his neck. </p>
<p>I mean, he refused to stay in the box I was originally planing to take him to the vet in and I could *not* keep him in (so I ended up zipping him into a big book bag--boy was that an embarrassing 6 blocks) but his claws never came out, didn't try to bite, didn't even hiss and no sign of a grudge when I let him out.</p>
<p>But he's also pretty chill, I mean, when I settled down to read out in the office he tucked right up on his blanket and went to sleep. He also twitches when he dreams.</p>
<p>He's also apparently pretty young, a year or two at most. And he's VERY dirty (either that or he's the grayest marmalade cat I've ever seen) but I hope that will change soon. <br />

(Well, I wanted to punch his <i>character</i> in the face, but not Tom Cruise. If that makes sense.)</p>
<p>CC: You could name him Hercule so that he could attempt to keep his cousin Lemon in line... But really, what's he like? Lovebug? Standoffish? Needy? Vocal? Loud motor? I NEED DETAILS, DAMMIT!</p>cc commented on 'This week's column at Kirkus...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e201538e1d9df1970b2011-04-25T16:55:03Z2011-04-25T16:55:03ZccOh (off topic!) go look at my new cat (?!) on FB.
