About Michael | |

“Good afternoon, I am Michael, a quiet, charming fellow with all the innocence of my angelic name – unless, of course, some young guy cat mischief presents itself to me. I think I’m a tuxedo cat – a summer tux because I’m grey, not black. But I am dignified, and I sit proud.”
“I sit so proud and dignified because I am waiting for one of the Peales to come and do my portrait. They painted George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and, I think, even John Calhoun. Check out Rembrandt Peale – he’s my guy – he’s a grey and white tuxedo, too! I do appreciate you trying to help with your camera, but photographs just won’t do me justice. One of the Peales, please, probably Rembrandt.”
“I fancy myself a parlor cat – circa 18th century – thus, I need my portrait painted. Do you have a parlor? You don’t know what a parlor is? That’s OK. Do you have a living room or a bedroom or a rec room – how about a kitchen – that needs a cat – a grey and white tuxedo cat – to complete it? Here I am - the name is Michael – remember that!”
“I could sit in your lap and purr. Should we try that? I’m not heavy; I’d make an excellent lap cat, I think. I seem to remember myself sitting on a human once – but a long time ago – at least in cat time. I’m about 2 years old, and, you know, I may have been a fisherman in my previous life. I certainly do like fishy food. Am I good with a boat? I don’t think so. I like fish, but I don’t much like water – and certainly not being in it.”
“I’d like to be home – in my forever home – with you and a place that I can pretend to be my parlor. You will see how dignified and well-mannered I am. You can take me there if you’ll bring $120 over here to Feline Rescue. Then we’ll sit together and wait for one of the Peales.”
