Pompous Albert is a beautiful Selkirk Rex who has the distinct curly hair specific to the breed, an adorable permanent scowling face and the sharp tongue of one who is not afraid to speak his mind. Despite his sullen exterior and his tendency to brag, Albert is a sweet pussycat who particularly loves children. According to his human, Albert was named after Albert Einstein and a “rejected show cat,” so one can’t blame this silver-haired feline for having a bit of attitude.

These toys are an insult to my intellect. #pompousalbert #officecat @sagebrushfineart @alberttailsfromtheoffice
