Buscemi is a snaggle-toothed, smoosh-faced rescue cat who bears a striking resemblance to actor/director Steve Buscemi.
KATNISS: Are you furmiliar with my furiend Marla, aka, Steve Buscemi Cat?
BUSCEMI: I did find her online! Appurrantly there’s more than one of us who looks like Steve Buscemi.
KATNISS: That’s nothing – there are 2 sub-reddits dedicat-ed to cats who look like Ron Perlman.
BUSCEMI: Impurressive!
KATNISS: So you were adopted from Kitty Devore Rescue. You now have a roommate, a senior Calico named Mila. What did she think when you furst moved in?
BUSCEMI: Hard to tell. She’s got what the Humans call her “resting b*tch face.” But I tend to think she secretly likes me now. Especially when I chase her around the house!
KATNISS: So, you like to play. What are your favfurite toys?
BUSCEMI: I love brown packing paper. I’ll jump on it, roll in it, and pretty much destroy it.
KATNISS: Of course, it’s your kill.
BUSCEMI: But the best toys are toilet paper rolls! When I hear that cardboard hit the grrround, I come running, ready to pounce!
KATNISS: You’re such a predator.
BUSCEMI: Yes, I’ve been told I’m fearless. The other day I undertook a brave excursion into the fireplace. It was dark, it was dirty and I came out covered in ash.
KATNISS: Wow, you are fearless!
BUSCEMI: You’re not kitten – I’ve even been known to walk around the edge of the tub.
KATNISS: Oh Meow God, I did that once and fell in. While my Meowmy was taking a bath!
BUSCEMI: Now that would freak meowt!
KATNISS: When you’re done attacking packing paper, toilet paper rolls and exploring the fireplace, you must need some time to relax.
BUSCEMI: Oh, yes – I love being held and carried around like the furbaby I am.
KATNISS: Sweet.
BUSCEMI: Oops – gotta go! I just heard a toilet paper roll drop to the ground!
