BOB AND EV AND VIC AND . . . WELL, VIC
I love everything about visiting my friends Bob and Ev. The long talks over tea, the stack of trashy magazines we sit around and read, their sunny yet refreshingly messy, relaxed apartment. Well, I love almost everything. There is one fly in the ointment, or rather, claw in the leg: their cat Vic. Vic is a strapping 15-pounder of a jet-black cat. Bob and Ev joke that if he were human he'd have a pack of Lucky Strikes rolled up in his T-shirt sleeve. He walks with a hulking swagger. And his strikes, Lucky or not, are without warning. \"Oh, Vee-ic, you're so bad,\" Ev will say affectionately, picking up this snarling beast who turns docile and even rather sheepish in her arms. \"Oh look, Vic likes to play,\" she says as she makes up a bed for my husband and me.
