�I was finding it a fantastic challenge to make a tattoo on Edgar, who is covered with black fur all over his body,� Stig said. �I would be very honored to put the picture of himself in my portfolio once I made the art.�
For now, and forever if Mom has it her way, Stig will be denied his dream. Mom flat-out denied
Edgar when he asked her permission as well as an advance on his allowance to pay for the tattoo.
�No cat of mine is going to be seen in public with a tattoo!� she bawled.
Edgar Allan tried to point out that both Monie and Gizmo have tattoos, and they are girls, respectable ones even.
Mom was not convinced.
Although he hadn�t decided on a precise design, he had narrowed his options to a Harley Davidson eagle, skull and crossbones or the bluebird of happiness flying over a rainbow.
�I was leaning toward the bird, because I so enjoy catching and eating them. But now, Mom has ruined everything. She is being so unreasonable,� he said, stomping his foot in frustration.
Edgar is correct that Monie and Gizmo have tattoos. In fact, they both have two � one in each ear. Monie�s is an excellent etching of the number 26072.
�It�s my lucky number!� said Monie.
Gizmo, who sports 58120, doesn�t know what the number means, �but when I wiggle my ears, they look like butterflies flying, more or less.�
Annette said the girls� tattoos are for safety purposes in case they get lost. Authorities would be able to cross check the numbers to find their home address.
But Mom won�t even let Edgar Allan get a tattoo in his ear. She reasons that a black tattoo on a black cat is as sensible as adding sugar to honey.
�Besides, no cat of mine is going to be seen in public with a tattoo! What�s next? A pierced tail?� she asserted.
