If you’re a crazy cat lady like I am, you’ll love this new series of posts I have lined up. Every once in awhile I’m going to gather up the best photos of a particular cat I’ve shot over the years and write up a little bio about them.
And, being the current love of my life, I thought it’d be careless of me to kick off the Cat Files with anyone but the man in black himself. So…
Say hello to Felix!
Full Name: Lt. Felix Gaeta, named after a character of the same name from Battlestar Galactica (pre-mutiny, pre-perjury, for the record!).
Aliases: Felix Felicis, Flea-licks, Fleabit, Batly.
Age: ~1 1/2 years.
Coat / Build: Black, short and silky. Long and slender.
Meow Type: Howler.
Backstory: Abandoned shortly after birth by mother, found on the street by neighbors of the Miller-Borns. Adopted by Chris and Kim Miller (that’s us!).
Often Mistaken For: A squirrel or giraffe. The Batmobile. The Wolf monster from the Neverending Story.
Likes: Climbing trees. Long scratches down the spine. Your breath after a tasty meal.
Dislikes: Road trips. Collars. Conventional sources of drinking water.
Favorite Place to Nap: Crocheted blankets. Hampers. Reusable grocery bags.
Claim to Fame: Playing fetch with crumpled receipts. Overcoming the oppression of a collar and growing into a fearless hunter. Having a ridiculously long tail.
Downfall: Tragic addiction to catnip.
Personal Quote: “I can quit anytime I want to!”
Felix is a BEAUTIFUL boy that reminds me so much of my Jag, who I lost 2 Christmases ago to Feline Leukemia. We found out 2 weeks before he died that he had the illness and it was a long, tragic, horrible ordeal that I hope I never go through again. He was a wonderful cat and I still miss him terribly. You have a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL cat.
