I had meant to write of this before but the football season carried me away in a swirl of orange and blue. Now that I have been reminded I shall tell you all about it.
A few months ago Renton participated in the Infinite Cat Project. It’s a rather ingeniously kooky idea of a guy named Mike, who started with a picture of a cat, then took a picture of another cat looking at that cat picture, then took another picture of a cat looking at the picture of the cat looking at the first cat picture . . . well, you get the idea. Renton is cat number 360 in the project.
It was not near as easy as I thought it would be to get Renton situated just so. Normally he is not allowed on the computer desk — though this has not stopped him before — so I think I confused him somewhat. Not only was I trying to make him stay on the desk, something he would never attempt while I was in the room, but I was also coaxing him to gaze at the suddenly uninteresting computer screen. This is the cat that is known to stare lazily at the television for hours!
After 30 minutes I finally got the perfect photo; it only took about 40 pictures, a bit of creative mouse wriggling, and some spaghetti sauce to get the right shot. Renton always has a taste for Italian cuisine.
This morning I received an e-mail announcing an Infinite Cat Project calendar which will showcase a cat a day — the first 365 cats, to be exact. Renton just squeaked in there; he should be on December 26th. So . . . go buy one! And if helping animals is your thing, fear not; all the profits will be donated to Dog and Kitty City, a no-kill shelter in Texas.
Don’t forget, every time you masturbate buy a calendar, God kills saves a kitten. Please, think of the kittens. (Come on, you knew I had to say it).
