understanding bjork...

is such a mean feat. it's more than four years since bjork was weaned from his dam with his now green eyes still closed. he seems familiar yet something's amiss. it's a wonder what goes through a cat's brain, except being in command of its body's physiological processes. he is very unpredictable. just now, he lies supine on the table right outside the shop and was resigned to the ministrations of a female passerby. while doing the same last night, my left hand was caught between his front paws and fangs that said they meant business.hence, these unsightly scratches which i sport right now. if he were a person, his autograph would have looked like this:.
name - bjork
sire - munich (from which he inherited his striking tabby color)
dam - puma (which genes contributed to his exceptional long glossy coat and tail disorder)
siblings - too many to mention (on either side)
birthplace - 2f mariño ancestral house, rizal st., brgy 1 poblacion, la carlota city, negros occidental, 6130 philippines
birthdate - 04 april 2003
pet peeves - running motors, bath time, heights (once climbed the acacia tree adjacent to the house and was not able to get off it for a day)
acquired taste - corn chips
embarrassing unbreakable habit - begging for corn chips from the shop patrons
embarrassing experience - the day the vet cut the 'you-know-what-must-not-be-named' off
greatest asset - shiny tabby coat (combination of good genes and nightly grooming)
greatest compliment ever received - always mistaken for a pure breed
hobby/ies - sleeping (about 20 hrs per day)
most romantic pursuit - getting home bruised and cut after a fierce duel of fangs and claws in the name of love
favorite scratch post - left rear foot of the newly refurbished settee
cribs - literal crib during infancy, master's warm tummy (ist three months), cushioned basket (rest of first year), fridge to (2nd year), neath the computer table (3rd year), shop hall table which looked like a display table from the sidewalk (presently)
special skills - toilet trained (unless the toilet door is closed of course); understand what a can of sardines meant; execute up, sit, stay and come commands
other oddities - limited to no hunting skills, neither nocturnal nor territorial, ignorant of what a mouse meant to the rest of the cat population
