Life In The Litterbox
At first, William Thomas never much cared for cats. Then a buck-toothed bag of bones named Malcolm swaggered up the driveway and into his life and the writer had a revelation of religious proportions: first impressions are always right!
This is the story of them setting up house together - a touching tale of a single, highly intelligent master of his own universe who created the system and laid down the rules for peaceful coexistence. Adds the writer: "Oh sure, I broke a few of his rules, but he could never prove anything."
At dawn, Malcolm would stalk Sunset Bay, terrorizing two square miles of semi-wilderness like a raging Bengal tiger. By 10:30 he'd have to come in the house to take a leak. It was never easy being King of the Jungle with weak kidneys. |
Here is the witty, endearing, true-life story of a love-hate (mostly love) relationship between author William Thomas and his cat, Malcolm.
Stuck with the cat after his marriage ended (she got the sane cat and a snazzy '76 Cutlass convertible), William discovers Malcolm to be a relentless morning person, a voracious (and sloppy) eater, an absolute neurotic on annual vet day, and a small comfort indeed when the author's octogenarian mother, Marg, moves in for a lengthy "visit".
"In a war that's gone on for twelve years, you could just call me Saddam," says the author. |
