The Secret Life of Hodge, the Bookstore Cat

Description

The life, loves, and seditious intentions (Cat Power!) of the cat who works at Selected Works Used Books and Sheet Music in downtown Chicago. Hodge, who claims to have been born litter-trained and fluent in three languages, understands written and spoken English. He has taught himself to type on a computer keyboard, which he uses when he wants to communicate anything complicated to his humans, which is often. He also keys in YouTube videos of popular songs that he fancies, and rewrites the lyrics along more cat-centric lines. Hodge often takes a dim view of the customers and of his and the bookstores long-suffering owner. He is, however, surprisingly protective of mice, and, after an epiphany resulting from something he overhears one day at the bookstore, fish. His relations with the two lady cats in his life are more problematic, partly because he describes each of them to the other, without giving it much thought, as my girlfriendshes a pain in the ass.
