I've seen him on the Bainbridge ferry from time to time. He said he's had the Maine Coon cat on his shoulder every day since it was a little kitten, so it's very well trained. My theory: the dead raccoon on his head scares the live cat into compliance.
We have spent tons of time with Montana here at Spa Noir in Belltown, he helped us rescue a pigeon out of our basement and even named his pet possum after one of our employees. He and I bonded because we both had Pomeranians, Angel and King. Monatana is basically a true Ace Ventura.
And @ tikaspice, the cat is alive, his hat was a creature he tried to nurse back but it didn't make it. He actually loves his animals- crows dogs possums cats raccoons so much that after finally receiving housing he was evicted because he could not surrender them. Last time we spoke he was camping with all of them in a green belt.
