Crazy? Yes!

[trista]

Remember OCJCrazyEddie? I think maybe he's not so crazy anymore. He's still some crazy, definitely. But maybe not all crazy. He meowed at me today. And not in an oh god, now is the time when you kill me, isn't it? way. It was a hey, do you think maybe you could feed me? sort of thing. That was definitely a first.

Linus meows at me all the time. All. The. Time.

Meowmeowmeowmeow!

There are many translations. Pick one:

• Oh my god, you're finally home! I just knew this was the time you were going to not come back! And then who would feed me? Who would throw the crinkly ball for me? Who would brush me and pet me and cuddle me and tell me I'm a beautiful boy? Oh my god, please don't ever leave again! I love you!
• Oh, sweet shrieking Jesus, could I get a cat pellet or two in my bowl? I've never had food, ever, and I'm told it's good. Could I try some, please? Oh, please? Please will you feed me? I'm so hungry! I think I may die.
• Where is the water? Can I have some water? Please will you give me some water? I'd like some water. No, not that water. That's water bowl water, and everyone knows that's inferior. Turn on the faucet in the bath for me! That's the good water.
• Hi. Yeah. I need some attention now, please. It has been thirty entire seconds since I've been properly adored, and that is unacceptable. Adore me! Well? Are you adoring me yet? Why not? Get started! Adore me!
• Open the blinds! Open the blinds! I think there are wildlifes out there and I want to see them! There may be squirrels! There may be birds! There may even be people kittens! Oh, god, I have to see what's out there! Open the bliiiiiiiinds!

You'd think that would be irritating, wouldn't you? Sometimes you'd be right, but mostly it's just really, really cute. The Linoceros rocks. Crazy Eddie sort of does, too, these days. Okay, maybe not rocks so much as lurches and trembles, but he's getting there.
