Seeing as how this is Cat Monday, you’d be excused if you thought you were viewing a photo of Leiber the FreakBeast. This is completely reasonable, and totally wrong. Our subject today is my friend Madelyn’s cat Bela, generally referred to by us as “the fake Leiber.” That’s only fair, as Madelyn calls Leiber “the fake Bela”. Aside from superficial looks, there’s nothing in common with them: even Bela has more full white in his fur instead of the peach undercoat Leiber sheds all over the house. It’s still surprising to walk into a friend’s home, see the cat on the bed, and ask yourself how your cat got into this house on the other side of town.
