Boris is a typical Oshie, which to my mind makes him just perfect!
He's the pet I've chosen to introduce to DG first. He will be joined by some of my other cats in the future. Here's a glimpse into what we got up to today!
I've been encouraging all my cats to have a go at dancing recently... So yesterday we spent some time with the music box seeing if Boris would take to it or freak out... Or try to kill it, which seems to be another common reaction!
At first he didn't really pay it any attention... Was just giving me looks and wanting me to pay more attention to him. Then he finally seemed to notice it, did a double take, and tripped over himself.
*Splat*
He wasn't too sure about the whole situation but I could just see his little feet beginning to tap...
And, tentatively, Boris started to dance!
He threw some good shapes and I praised him lots and encouraged him to keep on going!
As he danced, it almost seemed like his moves got more elaborate and he got more into it.
He even tried one move I'd never seen before (that criss-cross lying on his back!).
He seemed quite pleased with himself!
And after all that... He was done for the day.
I've had Boris for probably 15 years and in that time he's earned many PKC titles, fathered some kittens, has visited many parts of his little world, and posed for countless photos. But this was a first! I look forward to more firsts in the future and for you to get to know Boris better along with me.

Aww hello Boris! He's so old! What a lovely cat. Do you feel like he's braver now since you've owned him for so long?
I have an Oshie personality cat that I recently took photos of while he was listening to the music box and it frightened him each time so I felt kind of bad that I was basically punishing him for dancing 😭

Yeah usually the really bad reactions happen the first time they encounter a new thing and not a whole lot is new to Boris now so he reacts better. Most of my cats don't go crazy off the camera now either. You can snap 2-3 pictures before they do the 'scared' reaction and most of them almost never do the crazy run unless I bring out a toy they haven't seen or something that makes a bad noise. So the other day I went to Polygondwanaland to download the new sparkling cider they've put up (it has a catnip effect) and while I was there I downloaded some collars. I don't really dress my pets up but I like fancy collars and little bows and stuff... And I think Boris looks amazing in blue. Red/orange and blue just go so well together. And then I gave him some cider... Because that was the original point hahaha. He, uhh... He enjoyed it.

Those pictures are AMAZING. I especially love the hand gesture in the last one, that's one classic drunk speech.
