Cat Occupations

[Cataholic]

Do anyone else's cats have 'occupations'? It is based on their personality, and at least with Lillycat and I, it is a very funny story to keep building on. I will let her tell you her cat's occupations, but here are mine:

Texas- retired, senior statesman. He just has that retired air about him, very regal, too...so, he was WAY up there in elected officals position. As the eldest (12), he is definetely retired.

Georgia- the actress. Why? She is shy and reclusive like Eva Gabor, and kind of princessy- no offense to any actresses here.

Tennessee- he is an ATTORNEY (how do you like that). Why? Cause he is pompous, a big fat baby, and just acts like an attorney. (hey, no one better than me to know, right?).

Dakota- he is ONE of Tenny's paralegals...constantly doing some courthouse filing for Tenny, definetely second in charge (between the two of them).

Alabama- the dancer! She is always mid-flight, very very impulsive, tight rope walking, impish! And, she is very lithe and limbe, too.

Minnesota- I must admit, Minnie doesn't have an occupation, yet. I think she is leaning towards something in the literary field...and this will be developed as she and I grow together.

Anyone else?

My cat Samantha is the Queen of course. She rules this house, expects to be served and won't allow other cats on her turf.

Maya is more of a benevolent Dictator than Queen , I think. She's too bossy to be a royal and diplomatic anything. Make no mistake, she rules this house and all its inhabitants. Bodhi is definately second in command when he's not training to be a plumber or house renovator, or on a good day an interior designer who specializes in kitchen and bathroom (sinks). He is so sweet natured he could be a diplomat.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Peanut is her daddy's secretary/helper. He said she climbed on his lap today and wanted to help so bad that she didn't want to go down when he actually had to get some work done. Such a good little girl.

Tubby's job is to see how fast he can turn all the white carpeting and furniture in our house black. He does a really good job of it too, although he has slacked off a bit now that it's getting colder and he needs all the fur on his body instead of all over the house.

indra is very secretive.....something to do with the phd he is aspiring to....he hasnt told me in what tho.....nevvie is an airline pilot, always wearing either a yellow or a red scarf.....baby washy is still kinda young but i think it will have something to do with computers as he is always on my keyboard....he loves it when i am online....he just lays on my lap and watches...... he is the one responsible for all the mistakes i make

How fun...these are all so cute to read!

Noah - He is our Police Chief...always making sure his "charges" are in line and is the first to stop any bad behavior such as screendoor jumping, trash can hunting (When he is in there, he's most likely looking for evidence.) and food monitoring. He uses his innate gaurding abilities when mommy and daddy are asleep by laying on my head or staking his spot at our feet.

Noel - She's the princess of course! It's her job to request attention, love and food at her every whim. When we eat on our couch, she demands a taste...but in a very lady-like way of course.

Basil - He's still a kid...his tendacies haven't completely come out yet. Looking into the future, he may aspire to be a therapy kitty...he craves love and attention. He's our little love bug.

Bo is the sleeping kitty - whenever anyone is sleeping he is right next to the warm body. He is also Hanna's babysitter. And he does a good job of cleaning up all the extra food the other cats don't eat. He has also been known to help the dogs out in this department. As you can see, Bo is a very valuable cat.

Abby is the enforcer. Her job is keeping the dogs in line. If they are barking, you can bet she is sitting there looking at them, and giving them a piece of her mind with her "Blabby back talk". She supervises everything, including every new thing we buy and bring into the house. She inspects the empty boxes thouroughly, and makes sure there are no evil spirits inside. She is my watchcat, and will give a growl if anything comes to the door or is in the yard. She keeps me warm when I lay on the couch to watch movies.

Hanna is comic relief. She also protects me when I am in the bathtub so no water monsters come up and get me.

My Mr. Jones would definitely be the BUTLER.
He tends to my every need. If I cry out he comes right to me to see if something's wrong. But to him, his duties include servicing me 'amourously' three times a day. So I guess he's a butler/gigolo. What cat better to be the butler than a Tuxedo boy!

Snowy is a SKATEBOARD RAT who won't get a real job. The way he bounces off of the furniture doing right 'turn backs' and acrobatics. He also had the attention span of a gnat. We are working on him looking directly at Mommy and her saying words and him responding.

Has anyone ever thought of what sport your cat might play?

P.S.

Cataholic- That Tex of yours really DOES look like Clark Gable. Do you have some more pictures of that boy?
In your regular pictures he'd be the first one I'd go to play with. He looks fun.

[jenluckenbach]

mine are unemployed and they aren't paying there bills, either.

[sasvermont]

Gabe would be a Mafia hit man. He would be top hitter and no one would want to mess with him. He would make and bottle his own beer.

Graemer would be an entertainer, maybe a magician. Maybe another Doug Henning. He would be mean to his women friends and they would like it. He would have fan clubs for sure.

Miley would be a little tattle tale (in a big corporation). She could never own her own business. She would never make it past the entry level position, but she would be the best at what she does...maybe sorting mail, but the best mail sorter this side of the Mississippi.

LOL LOL So true! They think they own the place...but they don't pay the bills!

Scooter would be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, because he purrsonality is so extreme like that. Either that or Dudley Dursley...because his daddy spoils him rotten, yet he still fusses and complains so much! LOL

Marius is such a mamma's boy. He has me wrapped around his little white paw. Maybe he'd be a shoe salesmen...because he's very convincing and you just can't say no! Not to mention his love of shoes! HA! LOL LOL

[lailamara]

Hey, SAS, a bit harsh with Miley girl. Mail sorter indeed. I think putting up with your boys is a job and a half. Think of the chaos if you had my bossy , dominant trouble-maker Maya. I imagine Miley and Bodhi would get along wonderfully.

[sasvermont]

I am rather grateful that she is not bossy and takes the back seat in most battles. I often protect her from her brother Graemer. She can "hold her own" most times, but she squeels so during the struggle. I often capture Graemer and put him in a room by himself, to give Miley a break. She isn't the smartest cat in the world, but she is sweet and very loyal to me. We spend lots of times sitting together while the two boys sit in the living room, together, but not right next to each other.

Such an odd group! But a group that works well together, all things considered.

I love all three of mine but for different reasons.

[All Creatures Great And Small]

Hmmm..... I think my kitty would be the night watchman / security guard, because he's always in the windows checking things out, especially at night. He "makes the rounds" by going to each window around the entire perimeter and gazing outside, and then he comes and "reports" to me what he has seen. He LOVES it in the summer when every window in the house is open so he can see from every side of the house. He also gets very vocal when he identifies intruders in the yard (stray cats) - "Hey - You in the bushes - Stop where you are or I'll meow, really loud!"

Tilly is my security specialist. When at work she protects me from nasty spiders, growls at people who come to the door (yes.. she actually growls when I'm not expecting company.. but when I am she seems to know somehow), and makes sure Bassett and Nutmeg are in line. During her time off she likes to sleep on top of whatever human is available

Bassett is my politician. She likes things her way and orders us around and expects everyone to do her beck and call. And of course we do No offense to anyone who is in politics!!!

Nutmeg is the court jester. She just acts like a goof 24/7. She may look into different careers as she matures
