Potter: The Dragon Cat
BHS – Hello, Potter. Thank you for joining us
today. We appreciate you taking the time out of your busy feline
schedule, and we’re looking forward to learning more about
how your brain works.
Potter – Well, thank you for being interested. It’s
not often my brilliance is appropriately recognized, and I’m
more than happy to talk about myself.
BHS – Excellent. Why don’t we begin with some simple
questions, and we can move on some of the more pressing issues that
all of our readers are wondering about. First of all, do you have
a favorite pair of shoes?
Potter – Women’s chunky heels, all the better to look
up their skirts. Plus I like the way they smell after they’ve
walked through the mud.
BHS – Interesting, although I’m not sure that’s
the most surprising answer. I wouldn’t have taken you for
a womanizer, but to each his own. Now tell us, if you were re-reincarnated
as a pet, who would you want as your owner?
Potter – Otis, the tall, dark, and handsome chocolate lab.
He spends an inordinate amount of time with my owner, so that will
show her.
BHS – Some feelings of jealousy there, I see. Let’s
move onto your early years. What’s the most superficially
disturbing thing that happened during your childhood?
Potter – Having to live next door to the animal research center
at Rockefeller. Talk about bad karma. And I think that’s more
than superficially disturbing.
BHS – Rather. Okay, a more positive question. What have you
done that you feel makes you most worthy of being the person of
the week?
Potter – As the only creature in my household with any shred
of dignity, I cannot imagine not being person of the week.
BHS – And what have you done that you feel makes you least
worthy?
Potter – Being caught licking Cow Kitty’s ass.
BHS – Which does lead to what we’re all wanting to know;
what’s with you and Cow Kitty? You both roll around on the
floor, growling and biting, but most of the time you can’t
seem to leave each other alone. In fact, sometimes you stalk him
around the house.
Potter – Well, I don’t see what my relationship with
Cow Kitty has to do with this interview, but I have nothing to be
ashamed of…he and I enjoy each other. Sometimes things get
a little out of hand, yes, but most of the time I have more fun
with him than I ever have before. It’s not like any other
relationship I’ve ever been in; although if you must know,
I haven’t really been in a serious relationship before. It’s
uncharted, joyful territory.
BHS – Wow. Thanks for being willing to share that with us.
It sounds quite special. Before we leave you, and thank you again
for taking the time, one last question: what’s the one kind
of food that you wish you could like but don’t?
Potter – Tuna. I’m a disgrace, I know. |
