Even though Fi is two years older, Crookshanks is the clear king of The Krookery on May. He owns all of us.
Crookshanks is a demanding little sucker. He has a very loud meow and is not afraid to use it. I swear his meow sounds like “Aaaadam? Aaaadam? AAAADDDAMMMM!”
If he wants to walk on your stomach, you’d best be letting him.
If he wants to sleep in the bed with you,
you’d better let him do so or you won’t be getting a wink of sleep.
“respect my authoritay”
Crookshanks is a first class brat. If we leave to go on vacation for any amount of time, we can expect to come home to an apartment filled with poop turds in various places. It’s his revenge, I suppose, for leaving him lapless. He will also pee in a naughty place in a heartbeat. And don’t let me try to do yoga. You know what happens then.
Crookshanks don’t give a crap.
Crookshanks just does what he wants.
“this is my house”
But the one thing that Crookshanks does that makes everyone fall for him? He is the most loving, affectionate cat ever. He loves everyone. Every new animal is a new friend/co-conspirator. Every person is his new best friend, every lap a place to relax and purr, purr, purr. And Crookshanks is a loud purrer. You can hear him from a different room if it’s quiet enough.
He loves music, and for some reason he seems to like it when I sing. He hops on my lap (usually my computer) and purrs like a maniac. He snores like a human, and it’s hilarious to hear him from across the room. Sometimes, if I am very lucky, he’ll stand on my back and give me a kitty massage, complete with purring and kneading.
If Crookshanks and I had a relationship status on Facebook, it would be “It’s Complicated.” I hate that he poops all over the place, but I love that he’s so warm and affectionate. He’s not easy to live with, but it would be weird to live without him.
What a handsome boy! He looks so much like my Logan.

Your kitty looks and sounds like the male version of your kitty Ed. She’ll always jump on the husbands lap when he’s playing computer games and purr like a motor, and just when you don’t want her too she’ll always come curl up on the sofa. Which we love and all but when she weighs 15lb there’s only so many times of an evening you can stand her weight slamming in your stomach!
Don’t you just love kitties and their personalities?!
Ha ha ha, Crookshanks isn’t exactly a lightweight himself, so I TOTALLY understand what you’re saying! But it’s hard not to love them. 🙂
