What’s your cat’s given name? Charlie

She used to belong to Gandalf the Grey, but when Balrog sent Gandalf to the fiery pit, we became her new loving owners due to Balrog’s distaste for cats.
Where’s Charlie from?
The streets of Detroit.
Who feeds Charlie?
All of us here at Fort Naked.
What do you think would be Charlie’s theme song?
“Sympathy For The Devil” – Rolling Stones
Is Charlie’s more likely to fall asleep on a pile of records or a pile of cassettes?
She falls asleep on our records every afternoon.
What is the last impressive thing your cat murdered?
Our poor human limbs.
What does Charlie’s listen to when she is sitting around and feeling moody and misunderstood?
“In My Solitude” – Billie Holiday
Do you suspect Charlie’s is hatching any schemes at the moment?
How to take over the house… no wait… she’s already done that.
If you woke up in a weird Freaky Friday situation with Charlie what do you think her first move would be?
Take a quick sip from the toilet, eat the bread (she loves human bread), and then bolt out the door to go bird watching.
