Owner of New York’s Lebowski Store Responds to Missing Cat Allegations

10.04.11 Written by Vince Mancini

"Zee cat, she believes in nuzzling."

Last October, I wrote about a store in New York called The Little Lebowski Shop, dedicated to all things Big Lebowski-related. That’s owner Roy Preston in the picture, in front of the store with his cat, Misha. On Friday, I received a cryptic comment on the post, from someone calling herself “bluehairedcatlady”, saying Misha had disappeared, alleging Roy “hated anyone who was nice to Misha” and that “he thinks he can do whatever he wants to her and no one will care.”

Serious allegations. And it seemed like there might be an interesting story there, so I asked Mr. Preston about it. Let’s just say I think I was right. This was his response:

Dear Vince,

I moved into an apartment that allows pets.  I took Misha home.  The day after I took her to her new pad, one of the women in Misha’s fan club flew into a panic of epic proportions.  This woman liked to bang on the front window of my store at 8:30 AM sharp every morning and then scream at the top of her lungs, “MEISH! COME TO THE WINDOW!”  This was usually followed by five minutes of her telling Misha what an asshole I was for leaving her in the store by herself.  (This woman also famously once told me that she had a psychic connection with Misha.  Believe it or not, Misha told her that living with me made her miserable.)

Important News: This cat TOTALLY looks like Voldemort!

02.21.11 Written by Vince Mancini

Voldemort-cat2-caption

A British cat was abandoned when its owners failed to realize how awesome it would be to have a cat that looks like a Harry Potter villain.  It’s sad, people can be so shortsighted I mean cruel.

“A cat which scared off potential owners because he looked too much like Harry Potter villain Lord Voldemort has finally found a new home. Vets had removed both his ears and nose in a bid to clear him of skin cancer. Although the operation was a success, poor Charlie was left bearing an uncanny resemblance to the evil character played by Ralph Fiennes in the films. Harry Potter fan Sarah Gaden was just one of thousands of people who fell in love with Charlie after reading his heart-wrenching story. Miss Gaden, who lives in Worthing, West Sussex, said: “When I read his heart-breaking story I fell in love with him immediately and was desperate to give him a loving home.” [Telegraph]

That reminds me of this time we found a cripple kid at a bus stop that we thought looked just like Darth Maul from Star Wars. We took him home and shaved his head and superglued some horns to his scalp, but then when we were done, it turned out he didn’t even really look like Darth Maul, we were just super high.  Life’s funny like that.
