Moses Velasquez by @slythersim
Twenty-seven year old Moses Velasquez spends his days as a vet tech for a small clinic in his hometown. “I like animals,” he says. “They’re less problematic than people.”
Moses has a special affinity for cats. “Cats do their own thing, you know? They’re really cool like that. I’ve got two of my own, but if I had my own way, I’d have, like, a dozen of them. They’re great. My orange one, he’s called Kitt and the black one is Chucky. I love them both.”
When asked if he’s going to worry about his cats when he’s in the Big Brother house, Moses replied, “Nah. My friend Kaur is going to look after him. He’s got this dog, but its totally cool with cats. My two have met the dog and they’re all chill. Kaur is the only dude I’d trust to look after my babies. He’s the bassist in our band, The Strange Llamas.”
“I know I can be quiet and I like to stay out of conflict,” Moses admits. “It’s going to be weird going into a house full of strangers. I just hope we can all respect each other’s space. I’m not looking forward to having to try to get along with everybody. I prefer reading and just chilling at home. Still, I have to try, because I know there’s a lot I could do with the prize money. I’ve been thinking about setting up an animal shelter with it, you know?”
“I think I’ve got what it takes to get through it all and make it to the end. I’ve just got to survive living in a house with nine other strangers for a few months. I’ve lived through a lot worse, you know? This has got a light at the end of the tunnel.”
