Jim dismisses claims from the working class cats he used to hang around with that he has "got too fancy for his own good" since becoming fully domesticated and believes he has merely expanded his horizons.
This includes a burgeoning interest in the films of the French new wave.

One of Jim's other great skills is sneezing.
This is Jim, about 1/3 of the way through one of his sneezes, which are always explosive and, like him, large.
This particular sneeze was not detonated in Jim's ideal sneeze environment, which is when he has his face under four inches from mine.

Some have claimed unfairly that Jim is not an especially bright cat, but we believe this is untrue, and that the reality is more complex. He is simply very *emotionally* intelligent.

No doubt the fact that he had previously lived in an unheated building full of straw, survived largely on a diet of crap Cornish rats and been called "Mongo" by his former owners, but now got to experience the joys of central heating, fresh bedding, pizza & posh chicken, sweetened the deal.

Jim had no problem with this, nor working for less than minimum cat wage, since he had decided he adored Charles more than any other creature on earth.
