Pip, the solo studio cat sleeping with his head positioned in the fax.
I wish I could say that all of my cats were studio cats... Alas, this isn't the case. There are hierarchy issues among the pride that has forced Pip to become isolated until he can accept his position at the bottom of the poll. Let's just say, he's got "Little Cat Syndrome."
I don't think "solution" is working as he's been in my studio since October, out for a week in December (it was Christmas, after all), back in for a few more months, out for the month of May, and now in again. Also, this make-shift solution belies the facts:
1) is the amount of hair that I have to deal with in my studio -it's becoming a real nuisance;
2) he simply needs to be king of his own domain.
We think he's got Ocicat in him and not knowing much about that breed, it's obviously different than your common brown nose tabbies. After months in isolation, he isn't changing his ways. He immediately runs to Chardonnay and tries to make him his wife. While NayNay is a male, we laughing joke that he plays all the girl parts -I guess Pip thinks that's okay, too. Argh. Sadly, I think Pip needs a new home with no other 4-legged dependents running around.
It's too bad, because
Bacchus used to be a Mama's Boy and he's depressed because he no longer gets to be sitting close to me while I work. Now when he needs anything, he runs to Andrew. (*sniff)
UPDATE: I'm reading
Cat vs. Cat and it looks like we may be able to resolve our issues after all. Patience I've got, it's the potential upheaval that may be problematic with house guests.
Chardonnay (nickname: NayNay) is the quintessential cute cat. I've grown up with dozens of cats -all of 'em good cats and pretty cats, but I swear someone from Hogwarts charmed this cat.
