Introduction to Professor Furpants

The Professor was just four weeks old when he was taken from an early foster home, and moved in with the Human Overlord who gave him a "name". At the time the HO had another cat in the house, whose bad temper merely amused the young Professor, who had already set his eyes on world domination. He spent hours chasing her irritably-flicking tail and biting her sensitive paws. In return, she taught him that there is no difference between "play-fighting" and "fighting", a philosophy that the Professor embraces to this day.

There were further upheavals in the Professor's life; he was obliged to make several moves when he was young, as his HO's life was altered by several events outside the Professor's "caring" range. Through it all he continued with his passion--studying Human Overlords and their society--and biting anyone who came within the reach of his teeth, including his mentor-cat.

His HO disrupted his life, and that of his mentor, by daring to leave the country, ostensibly for "work". During the nearly five years she was gone, the Professor's mentor tragically passed away, and the Professor was left alone in the world. It was a dark time for him; he was forced to co-habitate with people and cats he didn't know. His studies faltered and he did no work on his thesis.

The Professor's HO returned home at last, and after a short period during which he (and his HO) continued co-habiting with the two Humans and two cats, he and his HO finally moved into a suitable mountaintop lair. The Professor's studies are back on track and he hopes to complete his thesis by the end of 2009.
