Close-up of Loki

Loki is the acrobat and athlete of the house and is likely Satan himself (or killed Satan and took his place) since he walks sideways on furniture and hunts everything.  I’m convinced his hobby is collecting souls.

Loki has acrobatic and athletic abilities that boggle the mind.  For instance, he was being chased by Kazon one day and proceeded up the side of the cat castle.  When he got to the top, he simply turned and ran across the side of it — completely defying gravity — then ran down the other side head-first.  And he accomplished all of this so quickly that he was back to the ground and around the corner before Kazon even realized he just went by.

Loki doesn’t take “no” for an answer on anything, and he talks at you, not with you (hence the nickname of Mr. Mouth).  He’s a rather demanding feline who wants what he wants when he wants it, and you’d better be willing to give it to him lest he get violent and take it by force.

He’s a rather violent cat.  When he plays, he plays for keeps: if you aren’t bleeding yet, there’s more play to come.  He bites hard and intentionally.  He uses his claws the way they were meant to be used — violently.  In fact, during the winter months when the air is dry and static electricity is a problem, I have to be careful of Loki: if I shock him accidentally, he gets immediate revenge by blessing me with new bloody racing stripes.  Yes, he hits me, and he almost always hits me several times to make sure I understand such behavior is unacceptable.  I call these encounters my winter beatings.

He simply is not one to take anything from anybody.

I thought this was a cool picture of him looking over the edge of the bathroom counter.

He was chasing my hand as we played in the living room (how'd you like to see that flying at you?).

This is my favorite picture of Loki because it captures a close-up of his face in natural light.
