Tough Guy

I was raised on the historical documents about my dad’s old grey cat Clancy J Bumps, known worldwide as the Gray Menace. He hitchhiked with Dad from Ottawa to Boston, savaged a border guard, entertained at bars, carved his initials on his enemies, and generally made life difficult. His preferred food was a rare roast beef submarine sandwich with hots. He had tons of girlfriends even after he had a vasectomy. He was a credit to his gender, and male cats the world over!

Wow, what a life living on the fringe!

When he was living in a loft in Boston, someone broke in, and he and his buddy Jean LaFoot cornered the jerk in a bathroom. They kept him on top of the toilet, screaming for his mommy until the police arrived! There was a trail of blood from my dad’s door to the bathroom! Later on, he helped Dad defend his little house from an attack by a gang! There was blood on the claws that day – his favorite flavor too- O negative!

It just can not be denied: The Gray Menace is a role model that can’t be beat!
