rfmcdonaldFrom a very early age Shakespeare was aware of the global body heat shortage, as evidenced by his continuing preference for sleeping next to me. The below two photos were taken while he was still a kitten, weighing less than 10 pounds and as adorably cute as ever.
The photo quality's bad, I know. I choose to blame that one the problems inherent with disposable camera, but if I was honest I'd also have to blame my--shall we say--underdeveloped photography mojo.
I'd like to point out that the book that Shakespeare is lying next to in the second picture is Fifth Wave, a supplement for the Steve Jackson Games RPG setting Transhuman Space. In this setting, a team of ambitious but perhaps impetuous geneticists create a subspecies of cat with language abilities and an IQ of 80; they later downgrade the intelligence to 60 on discovering how uncontrollable the cats were, although some cats may have escaped into the wild ... Might he be telling me a message?
