Description

Summer 2012.  After I had parted ways with the band I moved to Portland with, and started working with my friends on video projects/gigs once again, we moved to what was my second residence in Portland, out east where it was more suburban and vastly cheaper.  At some point, one of my friends/roommates, Darren, decided to get a kitten, and soon enough this little tiny thing pictured here, a kitten he named "Isis" was part of our little rental house.  Not too long after first getting Isis, Darren and Baker were out of town for around a month, shooting an independent feature an old classmate was writing/directing, called "The Backseat".  In this time, I mostly took care of Isis day to day, who was just a little ball of energy, and such a tiny kitten!  She'd routinely end up with bursts of energy in the middle of the night and wake me up often.  She was also very combative, and would do stuff like lurk behind/under something, and strike you in the face when you peered over.  Strike and run seemed to be a favorite game of hers - smack tag, if you will.  She also claimed the desk chair (that she's pictured in) that I sat in while working during the day as her own.  It was difficult to usurp the chair back once she had claimed it, though the usual strategy was to find some object to get her attention with and then throw it.  She'd also sit up on the desk, next to my mouse or keyboard, and then bite my hand constantly while I used either.  Probably the worst pain she would cause is when she would climb up your jeans to get all the way up to your shoulder.  She was/is a cutie though, and still a relatively tiny cat now that she's grown.

Before I had moved, I had just met my girlfriend, Karin, who would end up importing her own cat from Los Angeles to Portland (where she went to college/lived).  When Darren was away, I mostly took care of Isis, but sometimes I would leave for a few days as well, to stay over at Karin's apartment, in which case Jeff would tend to Isis (as I write this, Jeff and Darren share an apartment where Darren is away and Jeff is once again solely tending to Isis).  One thing, back when this was taken, that Karin was able to do in our household that was extremely helpful was trim Isis' claws (and show how it was done).  I still think that Karin is the only one who's ever trimmed Isis' claws, however, as Isis isn't particularly receptive to it, but Karin was always okay with all of the cat bites that came with it.
