Justified, on FX, has become one of my favorite shows. Much of this is due to Timothy Olyphant. I have found him to be a tasty mix of smarts and testosterone since I saw him on Deadwood. I don't know much about him and was glad to see he was on Ellen when I got home from work last week. I was disappointed that he seemed pretty dull. But I decided to watch after the commercial just to be sure I had been duped. When the show returned he told a story about his view on cats that made me fall for him again.
Ellen showed pics of the various pets at Olyphant's house, dogs, a hamster, a gecko. He told about his daughter telling him she wanted a cat. Olyphant told her that as a boy his family had several cats, all called Kitty. He told his daughter he'd get her a cat, but there were a few rules regarding this pet. The daughter agreed. That night he took a bowl of cat food to the street in front of the house. The next day the food was gone so he refilled the bowl and moved it 5 feet closer to the house. He repeated the procees for several nights. "By Thursday I was able to get my daughter and tell her, 'come seee what Daddy got you.'" There on the back porch was a cat. "These are the rules for having a cat," he told her:
The cat is NEVER allowed into the house.
The only name the cat will have is Kitty.
And, the cat is the family pet from 7-8pm.
Genius! I don't hate cats but am not a real fan either. Animals walking on counters sniffing food do not appeal to me. I really like the timed-aspect of having such a pet - I'd've had kids if I had only been responsible from 7-8pm. I regained my respect for him with this story.
So I will continue to watch Justified. Olyphant has some of my favorite traits; he's married, loves dogs, and tolerates cats. Plus, damn is he HOT.
peace, saycc
