After shooting wine bottles for my son, "Newman" the spoiled cat expressed a desire to be immortalized in the cat kingdom for all posterity to see.What a ham.--charliezap

Charlie I can tell this cat rules the roost there, you can tell with that certain look and he probably eats better than you and I.

Lovely photos of a lovely cat.

# 3 is just saying "on your knees slave and bow before me!!"

Is that his own special chair in photo # 1?

Dogs have masters. Cats have staff. Mine do for sure.

Oh yeah, my cats think they have "staff" to serve them, and rightly so.

They cracked me up today. I was a bit under the weather today and we were down to the last can so my folks who wanted to go to Walmart anyhow went and did the cat food run for me. They come back with 35 cans of the regular cat food, 20 cans of those little fancy treat cans, cat crunchies, cat treats, catnip, 2 cat scratchers, a cat hammock, and a huge cushy dog bed that's more than big enough for the whole animal crew around here. It was like freakin Chrismas and the furballs just loved it! First they checked out all the cans as I was putting them away, then we had a nip and scratch party, then they checked out the hammock and finally the bed.

My folks who really shouldn't be spending that much on them probably spent $75 on the cats! My folks are so snowed by these animals it's not even funny! My Mom is that way about my roommate's little dog too. That dog ends up getting more doggie cookies and little personally made sweaters than I can keep track of. I keep telling them they need to get a pet of their own to spoil, but they just look at me, remind me they're done raising animals and kids and insist they'll just spoil our animals.

I'd be jealous but actually they did bring me a $25 TRU card too so I'll be splurging on a new Moxie Teen when I am up to getting there. I was going to put the 2 new ones on my Christmas list but maybe I'll grab me one now. That's my version of a proper "toy" those dolls. Closest thing I've got to a Japanese Ball Joint doll, but a whole lot cheaper. Cats like them too. I've only got a couple so far but I've had to keep them up high so they don't nibble. The hands on those seem to tempt them more for some reason...

Cat's were once revered as gods in Egypt in Pharaoh days. They have never forgotten.

With all the attention that Newman is garnering on the forum he will only eat Maine lobster tails and fancy albacore tuna.---charliezap
