About Us
Erlenmeyer, the Cat of the Day
Name: Erlenmeyer
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Cat
Home: St Paul, Minnesota, USA
 
   This is Earl, the Cat of Fat. He is by far the coolest cat I have ever owned. Earl is about nineteen pounds and allegedly of Maine Coon cat origin (An excuse for being enormous). I adopted Earl a few days after I moved to Minnesota. Back then he was short haired (the Human Society must have shaved him) and only twelve pounds and had an idiotic name. A month later - bam! Fat Furball!

    Well, I'd never trade him for the world! Earl, his other feline punching bag, er, companion, The Weasel and I recently moved into a new apartment with wood floors. It makes the upkeep of the Earl much easier as now all I have to do is track down the daily fuzzball that has collected somewhere in the apartment - rather than vacuum daily. And the lack of traction makes for hysterical peel-outs and skiddings. Earl's passions include eating, sleeping, lounging on very high shelves, beating on The Weasel, getting his teeth cleaned by the vet (okay that one is still up for debate), eating my plants and watching the water whirl in the toilet. He is a truly unique Beast!
