A Story for Sebastian: Pookie Up The Wall

[bobquasit]

For some reason Sebastian loves stories about my family when I was a little boy. And I love to tell them to him...even after he demands a hundred repetitions. :D

I'm just going to write this the way I told it to him this morning in the car, twice. Nothing fancy.

Polydactyl

As a matter of cat justice I should note that it was not, in fact, Pookie who climbed up the house. That was my mistake when I first told the story, and I haven't tried to change it since because Sebastian is quite a stickler for consistency. :D

But the actual climber was Bonzo, Pookie's predecessor. The two cats were quite similar in many ways - both were remarkably cheerful striped orange-marmalade males - but Pookie was not polydactyl.

Bonzo, on the other hand, was polydactyl with a vengeance. It was a very odd feeling to be grabbed by him, because he really could clutch things with his seven toes (he was of the "thumb" variety, which means he just about had an opposable grip).
