Today’s featured Man and Cat is Chris and Gingham. Chris found Gingham on the streets of Brooklyn as a kitten, and Gingham is hands-down the craziest cat I’ve ever met. She attacks Chris, she’s nutty as can be, and yet Chris puts up with her antics. Good thing Chris is an experienced and patient “animal manager”*.

*This is my new favorite phrase. I went to see La Boheme last week and the program listed an “animal manager” (there was a live horse in the production). Ever since then I’ve been referring to myself as the “animal manager” of my household.

No, it’s not a picture of a man named Jake eating a ham sandwich – it’s a picture of Jake and his cat, whose name is Ham Sandwich. Thanks to Jake’s girlfriend Becca for the picture.

Today on newsofdelawarecounty.com, there’s a very nice editorial by a man who adopts a cat he found on the street, only to have to give her back to her rightful owner shortly after taking her in.
