the local sound guy just had a full standoff with a cat

Saw this guy outside the bodega on 4th earlier. He was trying to get into his car, but this orange cat was literally guarding the door and hissing like its life depended on it. Instead of shooing it away, he just… stood there? Like, he kept pulling fancy cat treats out of his bag one by one, tossing them further away to distract it, but then would stop and just stare down the cat every time it hissed. He looked absolutely miserable—like he hadn't slept in a week—but he didn't move until the cat finally got bored and left. Who is this guy and why does he have so much patience for a stray?

wait is he single? asking for a friend who wants to steal his hoodies.

Reply to pogee_scoop: good luck, his only real relationship is with his audio waveforms.

yeah that's . he lives for the 3 am studio sessions. no wonder he looks like he's about to fall asleep standing up.

Reply to audio_nerd: he looks like he needs an iced americano more than he needs that cat to move lol.

lmao that's just the local neighborhood cat, it hates everyone. you actually saw him feeding it? he usually just stares it down.

Reply to brooklyn_noise: can confirm, i see him at 3 am all the time. he acts like he hates the cat but he never leaves empty-handed.

that's just the Brooklyn musician grind. you stop sleeping at 24 and you never start again.

he looks so exhausted, who actually lives like this?

he's a total recluse, good luck getting him to talk to you though. he's basically allergic to social interaction before sunset.

if he's buying expensive treats for a cat that hates him, he's definitely just lonely.
