This is Hilbert being uncooperative. As soon as he saw the camera he trotted off to the far side of the yard to hide behind the bushes and then just stayed there. He also made it clear that if I tried to follow him he would lead me on a chase around the entire house until he got all the way to the front yard, where he would finally stop and start rolling over. He loves doing this to me.
Well, you only exist to rub his belly.
another classic nytimesfail:
Biden Promised Peace, but Will Leave His Successor a Nation Consumed by War
we were "a nation consumed by war" in ww2 with over 10 million men in uniform when the population was half of what it is today, so not sure that's an accurate portrayal of our current condition
anyhooo... article was written by michael crowley so decided to look him up; his wiki page has this interesting tidbit:
In a 2006 dispute between Crowley and Michael Crichton, Crowley alleged that after he wrote an unflattering review of Crichton's novel State of Fear, Crichton included a character named "Mick Crowley" in the novel Next. The character is a child rapist, described as being a Washington, D.C.-based journalist and Yale graduate with a small penis, and is therefore noted as the variant of the Roman à clef called the small penis rule
so of course wiki has a page on the 'small penis rule'
"For a fictional portrait to be actionable, it must be so accurate that a reader of the book would have no problem linking the two," said Mr. Friedman. Thus, he continued, libel lawyers have what is known as "the small penis rule". One way authors can protect themselves from libel suits is to say that a character has a small penis, Mr. Friedman said. "Now no male is going to come forward and say, 'That character with a very small penis, that's me!"
That is really funny!
By coincidence I once accidentally stumbled into a website called 'the small penis rule', but it was about something completely different.
do tell 😉
Hilbert knows his value to your blog & has no agent or union to represent him, so his tactics should result in an increase in his Bench & Field or other other suitable cat treats.
Hilbert's way of asking "What's in it for me?"

Humans are so trainable.
MEOOOOOW. KITTIES RULE ! Kitties know.
Those eyes are telling you something Kevin
I think he is taking you on a ‘cat walk’.
And this model’s outfit is always perrrrrfect.
