The Ones I Like List of 2006 – A Countdown [#3]
© All rights reserved.
Tommy – Tommy is addicted to love – both the givin’ and the takin’. If he is sitting near you (and I assure you he is sitting near you at all times) and if you are not giving him the attention that he requires, he raises his paw into your line of vision and unleashes a strange meow that would make even the most vocal sheep (yes…he meows like a sheep!) envious. When I think of Tommy’s never-quite-satiated need for affection, I think of a few lines from the Indigo Girls song, Blood and Fire:
i am looking for someone who can take as much as i give
and give back as much as i need
you know and they still have the will to live
Tommy comes in at number three because he’s like no other cat I’ve ever known, and I think this image captures that fact nicely.
P.S. – Tommy must never find out that he came in third. Never. He couldn’t bear it.
