This is Silas (and Bear Bear). Silas belongs to my friends Kristi. I have often thought that Silas was a sort of phenomenon...no other cat could be so big, so manipulative, so terrifying. I have often pondered whether Silas is the feline equivalent of Damien (yes, Omen reference). I thought Silas was one of a kind...until I read a recent CNN.com story about a cat named Lewis. In many ways, Lewis seems to be Silas' twin. The evil tendencies described in the article could have easily been describing Silas! To Silas' credit, he has never attacked the Avon Lady. But...Silas is in an indoor cat and he HAS attacked our friend Lisa's daughter (not to mention nearly every other person he has come into contact with)!That being said, on behalf of Kristi and Silas, let me also say that Kristi loves him dearly and claims that he is a different kitty around her. He gives her kisses, lets her carry him around and generally loves her (when he's not scratching and scarring her face while she sleeps:). On a serious note, please say a little prayer for Kristi and Silas. He recently swallowed a large string that has not passed and could cause serious problems to a kitty's digestive system. Here's to Silas! You may terrify everyone you meet, but you do mean a lot to Krisit and we love you and hope you pass the string soon!

For Kristi's sake, here's hoping the string makes a quick journey.
Update - Silas is fine and beautiful. He never passed that string, but I do have a witness that saw him eat it. Oh, well, as long as he is fine, I am fine!
