from Cliff Chamberlain, Actor

i’ve never owned a cat.

there.
i said it.

i’ve cat-sitted,
for friends,
but that’s not the same thing, is it?

i don’t really have anything against cats,
it’s just that i grew up around dogs.
a golden retriever named dakota when i was young,
then a couple of shih tzus named shamrock and romeo.
(actually, come to think of it, romeo was pretty darn cat like.  did his own thing.)

so you can imagine the challenge of playing a character
who absolutely loves his cat
MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.

my character’s cat, wee thomas, is his best friend.
probably his only friend.

which is fantastic,
except for the fact that are some fundamental things about being a cat owner
that i am totally oblivious to.

how do you hold a cat?
how do you pet a cat?
what is it about cats that makes people love them?

so for all you northlight cat lovers,
help an actor out!
if you’ve got some funmemorablesadcrazyendearing cat stories,
i’d love to hear them.
