     Welcome to the official lou the cat blog. This is, as far as i know, the first blog specifically about lou the cat noyes-schiff on the internets. My name is lou schiff and i am roomates with lou the cat in madison wi.


     This blog is to keep the teeming masses of fans up to date on the adventures of the famous and dashing lou the cat. For those of you who have been sleeping under a rock on mars for the past 100(1000?)+ years, here are 10 true facts about lou the cat to bring you up to speed:

• lou is a cat.

• his name is lou. full name: louis the cat noyes-schiff.

• he lives with lou the person. after a bitter struggle over soverignty in the noyes household with the infamous and genuinely fat marcel the cat noyes, he expatriated and after a breif stay at patsy's house, he became a citizen of the great state of wisconsin. He currently resides with odd-couple-esque roommate lou the person schiff in madison near the campus of the university of wisconsin.

• lou is not fat, rather he is husky, big-boned, and fluffy. He is a pure-bred ragdoll and is hypoallergenic.

• he is a champion ballroom dancer. his 'best in show' winning tango at the 1971 Pour La Danse in paris, was described by Beatrice Famuina as a "tour de force".
• lou the cat is a spy. lou the cat is not a spy...*wink-wink.
• the origin of the name louis is shrouded in mystery. the pervading opinions in academia are that he was either named after french fashion designer louis vuitton by one skatie noyes, or after the famous louis the person schiff, perhaps by the famous emma noyes.

• lou the cat has a mysterious past. he is widely believed to be pseudo-Apollodorus, the author of the Bibliotheca. Aubrey Diller has called this work "the most valuable mythographical work that has come down from ancient times." When asked for a comment by the new york times in 1994, lou the cat responded with a pithy and nonplussed "meow".

• lou the cat lives by the sword. 

• lou the cat might be a lion. lou the cat often disappears for hours on end. Maybe to his sleeping nook in the closet behind the jeans, maybe to narnia!

     That is all for now. I am going to do math while lou the cat relaxes nearby on the windowsill with a glass of cognac and his catnip cigar.
