I met Sebastian Friday night at house party in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Sebastian has his cat's portrait, Thurston, tattooed on his right neck. Sebastian buys show cats. He buys show cats, but doesn't 'show' them. Show cats are pure-bred.

Thurston is his first show cat, also his oldest and favorite. Thurston will often catch small birds, like pigeons and bluebirds, bring them into Sebastian's house and drown them in his toilet (killing them).
