Years ago Henry had a cat named Kato. This cute little furball even had a mention on the 2.13.61 website as an honorary member of staff. Below is an excerpt from an interview with Maynard (Tool) and Henry where Kato makes an appearance:

(Henry’s cat saunters in.)

RIP: Oh, a kitty. What’s his name?

HR: Kato. He was given to me by my management. They kind of just dumped him on my lap and said, “Merry Christmas and happy birthday combined.” he was like this big (makes a kitten-size measurement),and I was going, “Vet Bills. Cat pans. Hair. I don’t want you!” and I put him on the floor. And like a day later, I’m, oh, petting him and like two weeks later, “Oh, awww –”

MK: Like wandering around going, “Oh I bought him some booties!”

HR: Yeah, now I’ve got cat toys all over the place, pictures of him everywhere. I’ve got pictures of him in my backpack and I’m somewhere and I’ll like pull out the picture of the cat. “What are you looking at?” “The cat.” People come up, and all these girls go,”Awww –”

MK: Like hearing my grandmother, talk to her dog that way — “Ooo– puppy!” and I said I’d never do that, ever! And now I have two dogs and I talk like an imbecile! I wander around, “Ooo! You want food!” I’ve turned into a fucking moron.
