Only had him for about a month, but say hello to Hex.
Bit of a story behind our living arrangement.
Had a particularly bad day at work when I met him. I'm a truck driver, but a lot of my job just involves hauling trailers between loading doors at a warehouse. On this particular day, i had a lot of delays that made work a pain in the ass. A big, ugly multiple car accident shut down the main highway that i use to get between warehouses for like, two hours. Couple hours later, the shunter (like a rig, but one seat and considerably smaller) that I'm using gets bitch tits and breaks down. Thankfully I'm able to limp it to a mechanic rather than having it towed, but this sets me back for another hour or so.
Finally about four hours out from the end of my shift, the main warehouse is shut down at its two central entrances, and it's swarmed with ambulances, police cars and a fire truck. I wouldn't know till the very end of the shift, but it turned out a dock worker had a massive heart attack. Unfortunately the ambulances were largely unnecessary because by all accounts the poor guy was dead before he even hit the ground. So there's another lengthy delay since the EMT's and police have to stick around until the coroner can arrive. So all this adds up and turns what would normally be a 10 hour day into a 14 hour day.
I come home around 4 in the morning. I'm tired, I'm ornery and I've ended the day with a literal death toll only to find a black kitten just chilling out on my door mat as if he's been waiting for me. I don't really go for superstition so I figure "fuck it" and go into my apartment to find something to feed him. I leave the front door slightly ajar while I'm doing this and he just sasses his ass right in like he owns the place. He gets cozy really quick and eats some of my dinner then wanders off towards my bedroom and I don't bother stopping him because fuck it, this shitty taco cabana ain't going to eat itself.
Half hour or so later I'm ready to clamber into bed, and he's just sprawled out on it like it's the most normal thing in the world. That first picture was taken right around this moment.
This one is him trying to murder my hand about an hour ago.
some people fear bad omens. I invite them into my house and let them eat my food and sleep with me.
