The Simonton Slut
This cat cracks me up. She comes out every afternoon and works the sidewalk in front of our apartment. I’m not sure where she lives, but I’m pretty sure it’s in the crack-house boarding house next door to us.
She lounges on the sidewalk all afternoon and gets more attention that Pope John Paul on easter sunday. I’ve never seen a cat work the crowds like this little beauty does… not a single local nor tourist can resist her wiles. Everyone stops to pet her. EVERYONE. I’m deathly allergic to cats and I stop every day to show her the love.. I just can’t resist, she is such a sweetheart.
I think this cat just may be a wizard in disguise… Gandalf after falling into the pit.. Yoda after fading away.. Ronny James Dio reincarnated… I don’t know, but there are supernatural powers at play here, and I for one am not taking any chances! RUB THE BUDDHA!
Key West definitely has it’s share of cultural icons.. the jogging guy in the red hat.. WOO HOO!.. Magic Frank.. Captain Tony.. Mongo.. and this cat. Better get used to it, there’s a new sheriff in town!
Definitely stop by and give her a chin scratch, your day will go much better if you do!
Yes, I remember her — I stooped to pet her when I was visiting. Sure glad I didn’t miss the opportunity.
