Hey, can I show you a picture of my cat?

EJ the cat is truly a sight to behold: as 22 pounds and 5 ounces, he is quite a large boy with a decrepit personality. He does not enjoy the touch of human beings nor other animals, refuses to engage with the family that feeds him daily, and generally spends half of his life just sitting in his bed or the backyard pondering his (extremely non-stressful) life. Sure, EJ has the life all cats dream of, with a comfortable home and wet food galore, however, he craves something more, he craves a risk factor. In the past, he has been able to feed this adrenaline wish by killing small animals outside, but as he has gotten older, the thrill has dulled and he has become bored of the chase. Therefore, I propose to him this: EJ the cat takes on a day at Barnumbia. For, we all know there is never a dull moment here. Thus I present a day in my own life illustrated by photos of EJ; perhaps this will persuade him to take on NYC as he dreams.
