Did you all know that Freddie Mercury was really, really into his cats? I did not. But he was, and here is photographic proof. I ran a couple of the pics here through some filters because I sort of like to do that.
We Hunted the Mammoth will return to its primary mission tomorrow.
We Hunted the Mammoth relies entirely on readers like you for its survival. If you appreciate our work, please send a few bucks our way! Thanks!
De-lurking to say I would love to play minecraft with fellow readers of this site! How do I join?
So he screams at himself in the mirror every morning? Yeesh, sounds like a Soldiers of Odin wannabe.
All the greats love cats. Another example: http://brian-eno-with-cats.tumblr.com/
I liked the bit where it talks about how he went searching for the Holly Grail. Yeah like he’s going to succeed where experts have failed.
@Fabe
How should I contact you to get the Minecraft server info? I assume you don’t want to just post it online.
My old throwaway email account recently expired, but I can make a new one if you want to send it to me that way
How about Tom Baker with some kittens?
@Temascos
Technically (not that it matters, really), Freddie was bi, leaning towards men. Pretty sure the other guy in the third photo down (with the cute tabby) is Jim Hutton, his last boyfriend before his death. However, he also remained best friends with his longtime girlfriend Mary Austin for his entire life even after they were no longer romantically involved, and left her his home and the majority of his estate in his will. /trivia nerd
Mostly though… kitties. And agreed on best vest ever. <3
He looks like the sort who would choose, poorly.
@Nequam
TIME KITTEHS~!!!!!
@button
Are you on steam? I think that how I contacted some of the others who joined. all I need is your in game name then I can invite you
What gloriously fluffy kitties!
@K.
On behalf of my state, I sincerely apologize for this Alt-Knight idiot.
@Nikki
I’m in this state too. He’s been quite the violent asshaberdasher around Cleveland and I’m always paranoid he’ll try shit in Columbus during Origins/Cbus Pride.
Regarding the Alt-Knight…
No, because if you recall, Indy wasn’t a big fan of Nazis.
(Let’s see if this will work…)

A gif of four little animated colored dots?
I’m clearly not getting the joke.
@Surplus
The four dots are the loading screen for the site. The actual gif is one of Indiana Jones saying “Nazis. I hate those guys.”
Since some mammotheers have shared more pics of awesome cat-loving people, here is Foucault with his cat Insanity (of course).

I found it here, in a collection of literary folk with cats. So many of them chose cat names from their own writing! e.g. Foucault (above); Derrida’s cat was Logos; Camus’ was Stranger; Sartre’s was Nothing (at least he didn’t name it Nausea, I guess). Burroughs named his cat Junkie :/
One of my favorite artist & cat pics >^.^<

@Weird Eddie – Agreed! I remember when I was a kid, discovering that “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the one that went “We Will Rock You” were by the SAME BAND. I was very surprised.
@Katamount – That is indeed an excellent vest. 🙂
We have a new member of the family who arrived last night.
We think there’s some siamese in there, so there’s a good chance her eyes will stay that lovely Mediterrean blue.She loves sitting on a shoulder and purring.
Our previous cat died at Easter, aged 17, and it feels just great to have my fingers nommed again.
@PirateJenny,
So you’re saying that all of Jones’ paintings were actually the brainchildren of cats? 😀 Makes sense. 😛
And why do I have this feeling that the next Bond movie will have a scene (probably the pre-credits one) where he does some sort of super-macho heroic stuff with a baby strapped to his chest? Just to stick it to this Morgan guy.
@Sheila Crosby Congrats on the new fur baby! *melts into puddle of *d’awwwwwwww!’*
@Redsilkphoenix: YES!!! That totally needs to be a thing in the next film!
@Catalpa
I remember the days when the second sentence in that quote was self-evident for most everyone on the planet, unless the speaker was literally a nazi. What wild times we live in.
Also yay weed legalisation day for the second country in the world.
@Sheila Crosby,
Thank you for sharing the new fur baby pic; she’s beautiful. What are you naming her?
(kitten noms are the best – those tiny lil teeth!)
@Jane Done,
I still have moments of shock regarding the fact that we are actually dealing with actual Nazis again, not even 100 years later.
My mum recently told me this story: in the 1970s, a guy she was dating said he wanted to share a secret with her. He opened his wardrobe, which had a hidden panel, and in there was a Nazi uniform (he claimed it was authentic, from an actual Nazi, which would be pretty rare for a chap in Melbourne to get hold of, but anyway). He said he was a member of the Nazi party, which was then illegal.
My mum hightailed it out of there and never saw him again, but I wish Nazis today felt the need to hide 🙁
@Mish
Agreed. Closets should be for clothes, and sometimes Nazis.
