Goose has enjoyed some popularity on social media sites, including Facebook but also on Bluesky where one of his pictures got over 5,000 likes. Goose’s no nonsense attitude kept him from being quiet during the summer. His most famous quote has driven some of his popularity.
I have little tolerance for fools.
Goose follows a rigorous schedule that includes breakfast, bird watching, patrolling for squirrels, naps, dinner, and more naps. Then he gets his before bed treats. Goose isn’t so full of himself that having some fun dialogues is out of the question. He can get very passionate to the point of being hilarious when discussing the amount cat food in his bowl.
The following is an excerpt from Goose’s Newsletter this Sunday, November 24, 2024. Goose is talking about his first memories as a kitten.
Goose, “I remember how dark, cold and wet it was under the shed where we were born. What I remember best was how I would play with my sisters, Merlin, Jester, and Maverick in the sunlight at the back of the shed. Our mother, Elsie, told us to be careful and not to get far from the safety of the shed. She told us that there were all sorts of things that would eat us from hawks to alligators. Still when the sun was bright, we had lots of fun. We never saw any alligators but the marsh grass was so tall that even I couldn’t see over it.
We were sort of in a routine, nursing mom, playing, and then piling up together for naps. We were growing and it seemed that we were always hungry. After we were a few weeks old, mom carried us one by one up up over the bulkhead to the back of another building. It was a garage. There were bowls near it and they were full of what we were to learn is cat food. It was tough crunching for a while, but we learned it was a good way to not feel hungry. Sometimes we would hide until the people filled the bowls.
Then came the night mother left us in the garage. What happened next changed our lives.
