Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
Her Royal Highness Queen Lucy~A more beautiful cat has never lived!
Lucy, aka Loodie, aka THE QUEEN, is our oldest, most venerated cat. She was one of Trevor's gifts on his 5th birthday when we were living in Kentucky. Trevor is nearly 20 years old, so that puts Queen Lucy at plus 15. Lucy is allowed to sleep anywhere she chooses but her preferred spot is on the pillow above my head. I do not allow any of the other cats to push her around or show her any disrespect. When I have cereal in the morning for breakfast, she is allowed first dibs to drink the leftover milk. Lucy also has an annoying habit of pawing your head when you're trying to sleep, she sometimes chews on your hair, she head butts you to get a kiss, and she likes to give you little "love nips" on your nose-OUCH!! Lucy becomes very upset and meows loudly in a forlorn fashion if the people in the house raise their voices for any reason-especially fighting( or intense fellowship as we like to call it). She also hates whistling! Lucy has only made peace with Lewis since the divorce. Before that she couldn't stand him! Maybe she thought of him as competition? Lucy is famous for her prowess as a mouser. Of course, with 8 cats in the house, only the insane mice come anywhere near. But if they do, Lucy nails them good! Proud of her conquests, she puts the mouse where she is sure I will take notice of it. This is why I have found a mouse more than once sitting on the drain in my morning shower!
I am here to gather data about your world so that one day I can rule your silly little planet!
Bryn, aka Brindle, aka The Redhead, aka trouble, aka The Naughty one, aka Brinnie, aka alien commander, aka Foster Brooks. Bryn is named after my BFF's son. The name means great hill. I just thought it sounded cool and the spelling was neat. Bryn is one of Mieke's kittens who was born on 8/19/ 2004. Bryn has two brothers, Ari and Tyrone. It is Bryn who we suspect is an alien sent to collect data about our world for the purpose of taking over one day...He watches television. He knows how to work the printer. When all the kittens got declawed and neutered, Dr. Wilson put cones on their heads. It was Bryn who figured out how to get his off-not only that-he hid it so that we couldn't find it for about 3 days! Then, once we had put it back on him, he organized the other cats so that they would stick their paws in each others cones and lick one anther's paws in spite of the cones! Bryn is also an escape artist and will take any opportunity to sneak out of the house. Bryn has also displayed an unusual fondness for the drink-we are attributing this to the Irishness of his name! Anyhow, if you are having a beer or any kind of alcohol for that matter, Bryn will pester you until you let him get a taste. He does give a good massage, however, it is usually in the middle of the night!Bryn loves to chase birds and bugs through the window and is very fond of rolling around inside paper bags. When our little dog, Patches, who is a 12lb mini-Rat Terrier, mixes it up with Bryn, it's most likely that the dog will end up being chased by the cat! If there's trouble to be had, you can bet that Bryn will be somewhere close. He's what we call an instigator!
HEY, Does anybody out there know of a good 12-step program for wayward cats?
