I was fairly shocked when I got an offer to do this interview, but to my surprise, it was true.  Yes, I, Dana White, would have the once in a lifetime chance to interview Mike Schleibaum's cat.  Prepare to match wits with Craig Schleibaum.
When Mike is out playing shows, what do you do that he doesn't know about?
My favorite thing to do when Mike isn't around is to put on the Megadeth record "killing is my business" and run around the basement pretending I am caught in a mosh! 

What kind of women does Mike bring home, and do you approve of them?
He is usually bringing home women who are dressed like some kind of nurse or doctor I think he likes to role play. Actually there is this one girl that dresses like a cowgirl who is over here like every night. She only stays for about 7 minutes or so!

Now that Darkest Hour are big rock stars on Victory, how does it affect your home life?
Actually, it sucks.  First of all, Victory is calling here like every day and it is hard to listen to the Megadeth when the phone is ringing.  Also Mike is never here so I have to find ways to amuse myself.  For example, I love taking bathroom breaks in Mike's roommates bed (especially Mike Phyte!)

If you could be somebody else's cat, who's cat would you be?
In this order
1.  Craig Killborn's or Kate Hudson's
2.  Alicia Silverstone's
3.  Angus Young's
4.  or Dido's 

As a cat, do you feel you are superior to other creatures with your enhanced typing ability?
Yes, definitely.  Cats are the most superior life forms on earth!

Now that you are going public with this talent of yours, do you feel your fame might dwarf your owner's?
No way have you heard all the Buzz about Mike Schleibaum.....rock god of the DH!

Tell us about the softer side of Mike Hour.
You mean the side that likes Ani Defranco or the side that likes oragami?

Ever taken a boot to the head like those cats in the cartoons?
No the only boots around here are those from that one girl who dresses like a roman warrior. She is such a bitch!

Speaking of cartoons, who's cooler - Garfield or Tom the cat?
Actually it is Heathclif!  He always went for the ladies!  

Do you feel that there is anything we should know about yourself, your owner or your owner's band?
Just that Deli-cat is the best cat food and that Victory should change there logo to one with a pissed Bro of a cat.....mmmm maybe me!
