Milton, the cat was getting into the book shelves again. Damn, I knew his meow was starting to sound smugly philosophical.
And to think I named him after a great poet.

haha, nice. . . He’s electing his own infinities, that cat.

I don’t know how to share this with you but I think Milton was fairly philosophical to begin with. Just a hunch but he was probably gathering more amo for future “attitude” postures.

Just keep him away from the Nietzsche.

Next he’ll be reading Literary criticism by Nietzsche and then I’ll be in real trouble.

I love it that you have a cat named Milton. (Of COURSE you have a cat named Milton.) He sounds very distinguished.

Oh, I love how you said that. Yes, he is distinguished, but very approachable, well, then again, not to everyone. He is so loving and sweet with me, even raises a paw to say I need to pet him. But he has been known to hiss when lots of people are in the house, or when they are people he hasn’t spent a lot of time with. He’s a rescued cat, so he’s bonded with Brian and I, but sometimes the boys, well, I don’t know; he might also smell their cat Squirtle on them. 🙂 I shall do a post about him soon to show you more.

I see cats as existentialists…

Which is pretty much what his human is. 🙂

Our cat Zoltan learned the Truth from E.E. Cummings; he’s a “puddle-wonderful” pattering of paw-sight.

Aw, I love it.

I love it that the cat is named Milton, and that he chose this book. Goethe’s stilted exploration of love mixed with the fall of man.

Yes, he’s a clever puss. He’s also very affectionate, though, like all of us, his affection is usually a bit self-centered. 🙂
I shall have to post a story about him, as he is starting to really get a fan base going. When I found the poor fellow he was starving, and being fed by the servers at a restaurant I used to manage. The name Marvin was just not appropriate (his full moniker was “Starvin’ Marvin.”) for a dignified kitty, so I named him after the one who penned “Paradise Lost.” It seemed perfect since I at the time needed a roomie, and for both of us it was “Paradise Regained.”

Yes, you should write about Milton. 😀

Haha, okay, to appease his newest fan, certainly. Right now he is in a a cushion licking his precious self. I shall ask him which pictures he wants me to use for his upcoming expose.
