Gone a year and a half now. Sometimes I still wake up at night thinking she's under the covers right next to me.

Straight tail with a little kink, I think there is something that is passing inspection but he would prefer being a little different.
Is it the bell? Sun rims (that is just a guess)? Perhaps he would prefer gumwall tires on this bike? What about those pedals? Aw, come on, it can't be the leather saddle? There is nothing wrong with that! Wait what about that stem? Is it up above the insertion line? Silver hub in the rear and a black hub in the front? Brifters without shifters? We can't tell from one picture. Or perhaps, the bike is getting more attention right now than Harold. Cat's can be so picky.
Nice bike by the way. Black with silver alloy accents is a classic style, never mind of whatever mood Harold is in at the moment. He does look nice and healthy.

This reminds me of an old favorite TV commercial for "Hamka's", a savory snack containing ham and cheese:

Fostering a couple more kittens.
Little rambunctious Feral Caught males.
Latte isn't so happy with her house being invaded by the little beasts. She's outside hunting now.

One of me fave "human as doorperson for cat" sequences occurs when the cat is in the house and decides it wants to go out. So it goes to the front door and scratches or meows to let its attendant know it needs the door opened. The attendant comes and opens the door but oops, the cat sees it is raining out there and pauses, not knowing what to do. Then a light bulb goes off in its brain and it goes to the back door, wanting to be let out there as it figures it won't be raining out the back...
