Albert is quite the movie cat and LOVES to sit on the couch with our family—or on someone’s lap, or halfway on someone’s lap — anytime we’re watching a movie! As we enjoy Star Wars so much, I think our Albert-kitty, and former kitties have some similarities to Star Wars characters. And I’m sure I have definitely witnessed them using, or attempting to use the force on us for getting us to do things for them. It’s that certain kind of staring.
Our kitty, Dusty, had a disposition more like a teddy bear and I can definitely see some physical resemblance to Yoda (can you see Yoda looking at you with the same kind of expression?). He has since become one with the force, but his spirit and memories are still with us...
Spooky, on the other hand seemed to have some definite Dark side tendencies (in the photo below, it’s almost as if she’s staring out the window as Darth Vader stared out at the Death Star) —although she was such a cuddly lap kitty that I’m sure the light won out and she became one with the force in the end…
Albert may be the balance, or possibly the black and white coat means that the two sides are still working it out…
Albert has purr-snores that sound like Darth Vader. He looks like a cross between Chewbacca and the Ewoks. He also has some similarities in size to Jabba the Hutt. He may have some of Rey’s characteristics — major parkour skills, rebellious at times, and surprise attacks (a.k.a Battle-Cat-Galactica).
Either way, we think Albert definitely has the force. May the 4th be with you today and always!!!
