I think this is hilarious

In the life times of my cat Fezzik, it only gets more expensive and more exhausting as I have to, every day, give him subcu fluids, talk him into eating, and then clean up his barf. But he still is reasonably entertaining, so I think I’ll keep doing it for a while.

When it came time to take a dear friend to a “paint-your-own-pottery” shop, I decided that the only thing I could truly use was another bowl to house the food that will, eventually, just end up on my carpet anyway, but why not at least begin auspiciously. So I chose to paint a wee kitty bowl.

Now, this is a picture of Fezzik with a toy that his Aunt Anastasia sent him.

You might notice that his left ear looks a little funny. So funny, in fact, that when people meet him, they instantly say, “What happened to him?” to which I defensively reply “NOTHING”. (What really happened is he got a hemotoma that had to be drained, which then filled again, and had to be drained, and the ear was never the same.) But Aunt Anastasia started referring to little Fez as “One Ear”, and it stuck. Now we all call him “One Ear”. And I thought, to celebrate his uniqueness rather than shame him for his deformity, I’d honor him- and his ear- on the food bowl.

I think it’s a pretty good likeness.
