He’ll leave the room and then meow as if he’s lost. He whines incessantly. There are days I want to drop kick him down the stairs.

But on quiet nights when I want company, he’s there, always. As if he’s my regal protector. The bastard is just trying to make me feel guilty isn’t he?

Bailey is looking quite dashing in this photo. I forgive him for getting himself shut in Sophia’s room while she was napping that time and meowing so loudly I thought he was gonna wake her up.

smarmoofus – He loves to get himself trapped in her room at night. I want to kick him right in his fuzzy pants!

They say you don’t really own a cat.
They just allow you to feed them……
Thanks for playing this week Erica, we missed you.
And if you see that missing Smarmoofus, ask her to do a 55 this week, OK?
Thanks for visiting and commenting, and have a GREAT Week-End…G

G-Man – hehehe yeah ours also allows us to pet him. He’s so generous, sometimes he allows us space on our own bed.

They DO emotionally blackmail you, I noticed that too!

That’s cat’s to a T!
Great 55.
Mine’s up too.

Yes he is! I was having a bad day at work (that darn boss ) and your cat cheered me right up. They are great at making you feel guilty for complaining about them, aren’t they? For all of the fur balls I’ve stepped in, smelly run out of the room litter boxes (that Henry cleans, lol), or jumping on my bladder at three in the morning, there is always something nice about them that makes me love them. Wait, who am I kidding. Want some cats? *snicker*

I think you have my cat! I tried a 55 today too.

Mary – You can have him back! Just joking. *looks to make sure the cat didn’t read this* I would hate for him to give me even less space on my own bed for that comment.

Reminds me of my “Princess.” Always, always in my way. Wants ice in her FRESH water every morning. And always there cuddled up with me at night. Never leaves my side if I am ever sick. My baby. Cool. D
