Oh Beck, you look SO comfy on your table. Of course you need a rest after all that studying!
You sound like a sweet cat, but climbing blinds? Oh well, anything for attention, right?

Have a smashing day today as our COTD, and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

indeed, beck is a special and wonderful cat and you should give him all the attention he wants, work be damned. that is a fantastic photo of him - this from a professional photographer of no small repute.

i can relate. even as i type these words, there is a black cat snuggled up on my left arm, cozy against my chest. he climbed up and settled down there about one half hour ago, while i was still working, and shows no inclination to move. that is why there are no capital letters in this post. i am typing with one hand - a slow process that would only be made slower by capitalization. this happens all the time, even when i am on deadline and i never shoo him away for he is my treasured friend and it would not be right.

climb those blinds, beck. climb high, as high as you can go.

and may your buddy always rescue you, whether or not you actually need to be rescued.

Congratulations for being COTD

Hi Beck,

I recognize that pose. Emily likes to sit on my papers and in front of the computer screen. I think that all cats have a natural affinitiy for paper, but we love them anyways. He may like climbing the blinds, but he is too cute to scold (to much).

Here are some cat commandments for the next time he jumps on the blinds:

Cat Commandments

Thou shall not jump onto the keyboard when thy human is on the modem.

Thou shall not pull the phone cord out of the back of the modem.

Thou shall not unroll all of the toilet paper off the roll.

Thou shall not sit in front of the television or monitor as thou are transparent.

Thou shall not projectile vomit from the top of the refrigerator.

Thou shall not walk in on a dinner party and commence licking thy butt.

Thou shall not lie down with thy butt in thy human's face.

Thou shall not leap from great heights onto thy human's genital region.

Fast as thou are, thou cannot run through closed doors.

Thou shall not reset thy human's alarm clock by walking on it.

Thou shall not climb on the garbage can with the hinged lid, as thee will fall in and trap thyself.

Thou shall not jump onto the toilet seat just as thy human is sitting down.

Thou shall not jump onto thy sleeping human's bladder at 4a.m.

Thou shall realize that the house is not a prison from which to escape at any opportunity.

Thou shall not trip thy humans even if they are walking too slow.

Thou shall not push open the bathroom door when there are guests in thy house.

Thou shall remember that thou are a carnivore and that houseplants are not meat.

Thou shall show remorse when being scolded.

Dear Beck, another orange kitty that is so very special. But partying and studying just don't go well together - and soon it is nap time. Much love to you today, little one, set aside just in your honor!

**Frostfrog** · 06-21-2002, 12:23 PM

Not to be cantankerous, but in regards to the "cat commandments" I must emphatically state that a "cat commandment" is a foolish and worthless thing, for no cat was born to be commanded.

"Thou shalt not command thy cat."

"Thou shalt love, adore and indulge thy cat, for whatever thy cat may damage, destroy, or disrupt - no matter how valuable, precious, important or vital - is of far less worth than thy cat."

"Thou shalt recognize that thy cat is not thy cat at all, but rather, thou dost belong to it and thus thou shalt act accordingly, even by acting in obediance to all commands that the feline may levy upon thee."

That is only three commandments, not ten, but three is quite enough.

Beck
What a handsome orange boy your are. No wonder you need a rest from all that reading. It would make anyone tired. Congratulations on being our special Cat of the Day today.

**KittenCloudSprinkles** · 06-21-2002, 02:37 PM

Ohhhh Beck!!! Have a nice nappy nap!!! Of course, after a long day of work you need some rest...*yaaaaaawn* And in the office, a pen is a very good teddy bear!
