MISCHIEVOUS TOM CAT. A contemporary cat drawing / art tribute for a stray cat who became my friend long ago and far away. At the time, I was furbaby free because I lived in an apartment that didn't allow pets. They did have patios, however, and when I went out to drink my coffee one morning, Tom was laying on one of my chairs, lounging there with his big alleycat physique and the fattest cheeks I'd ever seen on a cat. I could have named him Mumps, but it was a little too cute for such a tough looking dude.
He didn't move an inch, just blinked and glanced over at me with that squinty cat look. I just sort of blinked back and said, "hello, who are you?" He blinked again, uttered a soft mew, stretched and settled in. Thus began the oddest, most unattached relationship I've ever had.
Almost every morning he'd be there waiting for me. I'd drink my coffee and talk to him. He ate the food and drank the water I started putting out for him, at least I assumed he did, I never saw him take either, but the bowls would be empty the next day. I put out several blankets and a nice pillow for him to get real comfy on. I assume he liked them. He certainly snuggled into them comfortably enough.
For nearly two years, and almost every morning, Old Tom and I would have our morning conversation. I could never get near him, he was having none of my overtures to ownership. He was content with our unattached attachment and I soon found it was a comfortable arrangement for me as well. I worried about his health because I had no way of getting him to a vet. I wondered what he did in the hours that he was away. But he seemed healthy enough and fairly well kept for a stray. I bought him a few toys, which he utterly disdained. They fell on the ground and just seemed to have disappeared. I think the wind blew them away.
One morning he didn't show up and he never came back. I still went out every morning to have my coffee, for a while, hoping. But eventually it just became sad, so I tossed the bowls and the blankets I'd put out for him and started drinking my coffee in front of the tv. I cleaned and kept the cover of his pillow. It's still tucked away in one of my special memory boxes.
