Javier Says

Dear Javier,
How is living with your grandparents working out for you? Are you enjoying the quality time you’ve been spending with them? Do you miss your parents or is being long distance from your overbearing parents a big relief? What’s the best thing that’s happened to you in the east bay? What advice do you have for other cats [...]

Dear Javier,

During this ongoing recession, I’ve been finding that I need to cut back on expenses and save money.  I was wondering if you had any tips for those of us trying to be more thrifty.  Also, I was wondering if the economy affected you at all?  I know that you’re a cat who enjoys the [...]

 
Dear Javier, 
I feel inadequate every time I go out to a dinner with business associates and my colleagues start talking about wine. Everyone seems to have something to say except for me. How can I avoid making a fool out of myself the next time I find myself in this predicament? 
Sincerely, 
Wineless in Wisconsin
 
 
 
Dear Wineless, 
Generally, when I am [...]

Dear Javier,
I don’t know exactly when this started, but over the last few years I’ve developed a fierce aversion to crowds. I used to go to outdoor concerts, street fairs, art openings, whatever… by myself or with friends, without hesitation. Now, I can’t tolerate Safeway, the movies, most bars, or even a crowded sidewalk. And [...]

hi javier,
what’s the best way to get girls to like you?

Dear Jason, 
First, let me say I’m thrilled that someone finally asked me another question. I thought I was going to have to rename this site “fabulous photos of Javier” or something similar. I have lots of thoughts on the subject, but since your question was [...]

Hey Javier,
what are you going to be for Halloween? Do you plan on doing any trick or treating?
Count Scratchula
Dear Count Scratchula,
As far as I know, I’m not going to trick or treat this year. Seeing that I’m almost middle-aged, it would be a little creepy for kittens to see a guy my age [...]

In the words of one of my readers:
These cats live with your landlord’s boss. In this picture, they are taking a break from fighting like big jungle cats, even though they are both very little cats (approx 6 pounds each). The orange one is named Charco, which means “mud puddle” in Spanish, and the [...]

Javier,
I find that I have trouble keeping things to myself. I told everyone that my best friend had an STD — she found out and wants nothing to do with me. As far as I’m concerned a fact is a fact and I can’t help but tell the truth. How do you know where to [...]

Javier,
I couldn’t help but be impressed by your manual dexterity. Do you have opposable thumbs or are you just very good at picking up objects with your paws? Also, do you have good penmanship?

Dear CA,
I do have fantastic manual dexterity, as you can see in the detailed photo of my paws on the coat [...]

Der Javier,
How do you stay in shape? You seem to be very much an athletic, outdoorsman type of cat. What’s your secret? Do you have a personal trainer or does being an orange and white dynamo just come naturally?
Signed,
Feline Fitness Afficionado
I have to admit, I am quite the athlete. While my poor balance and overall [...]
