Okay, I just took several pictures of the cat, most of them were very blurry and/or didn't really show the colored-in ascot, but I got at least one good picture of him, and one good picture of the Sharpening. They will have to wait for later tonight to be posted.
F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.
Heee! Please don't murderize her, Sean. She's too funny to lose (also? truly rocks a frockcoat).
My black cat would never have stood for it (in any case, she had only six white hairs, so there wouldn't have been much point to Sharpieing her), but my grey cat would have lolled in my arms, boneless and utterly submissive, and let me plaster of Paris him if that was what I wanted. Which is a not uncommon male cat response to a human female; possibly Jordan just lolled there, staring dreamily at S. and thinking "Jordan has no agency. Jordan is merely Mistress's plaything. Glorious sandy-haired Mistress, Sharpie as thou wilt."

Hee!
I can't wait to see these pictures. If we had tried to Sharpie our late, beloved Puck, bloodshed would have been involved.

I imagine this is exactly what happened. I'm not sure who I'm more disappointed with.

It's true. When my roommate and I had a young male cat, he was a fierce one, but every night without fail he would curl up next to her or me, by our heads, and purr his little heart out right next to our ear. (As we were trying to sleep, which was actually quite annoying, but sweet in an insane sort of way.)
Poor Sean. If I were in his shoes I'd be livid.
makes note: do not sharpie cat
How do you feel about painting a dog?
I am so very tempted to Sharpie Damien James when I get home. Better than murderizing him, which I was about to do at 3 a.m. this morning. Why do I always find the males with separation anxiety? Why????
How applying a Sharpie to the cat would have gone at Chez Bee:
Me: I think coloring the cat with a Sharpie would be FUN! Come here, Mishka.
Mishka: Foolish human female. Do you not realize that I am Mishka, Lord Puffytail, ruler of all that I survey? Remove your Sharpie marker from my presence, else you will suffer the pains of my fierce and bitey vengeance! (chomp, chaw, kick kick kick)
Me: Ow. I give up.
