To break the routine, Ignatz K- sometimes declared antagonism days where, upon waking, he would stare down at his orange tabby, Max, and say, “Max! Antagonism day!” And would then curse the cat with a string of expletives so offensive it would sometimes make him blush. The cat remained nonplussed and often returned Ignatz’s obscene tirade (delivered in a high-pitched, cutesy voice) with three slow blinks and a soft meow as if to say, “That’s nice, now can we get on to my food, please?”
