The Cranker

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

My mom's cat. He's so beautiful, and his baby blues are to die for, but he'll take your hand off if you try and pet him! He's about 11 years old now and has been this way from the day I brought him home for her. She had just had a heart attack and 5 bypasses and my dad told me to find a Ragdoll and bring him home to her. The only people he tolerates are my mom and dad and one of their friends (for some odd reason). Even my brother - who lives with them - is not part of the privileged inner circle. All you have to do is look at him and he gives you the evil eye and starts meowing dangerously at you.

So, here are some pics so you can gaze upon his beauty from afar - the safest place to be with him.




I just about had a heart attack. I was laying on the floor taking pics of him when all of a sudden he leapt at me! Turns out he was going for the camera strap so I got these closeups and short video. It's been 11 years since I've been this close to him!


His true personality shines through.


And the video. He really doesn't play, so this was really quite the experience for him/me. To have him so close without taking my nose off and to have him playing - a momentous occassion to be sure.
