I must say, as well, that my cats are not spoiled. Evidence is as follows.

They do not get canned food, with special attentions paid to meat and flavour (Isis likes chicken and Soni likes shrimp or beef), every time mom goes somewhere.

They do not get brand new toys on a regular basis.

They do not get to share moms drinks or eats.

They are not allowed to crawl all over the computer, mom and dads reading, or moms art work.

They do not get a half ounce of catnip every time mom changes the cardboard piece out of the scratchy ball toy.

Those are just a few pieces of proof that neither cat is spoiled!

What we do for out pets, I tell ya. When I go into the loft to surf the web or watch tv and knit, if someone is on the futon, I sit on the floor. My little darlings have a soft faux fur mat in front of my monitor that is just for them with the desk lamp shining on them for warmth. If they're all over my bed, I finagle my way under the covers and become a contortionist sleeper so as not to disturb them. If my arm is numb while MooShoo is sleeping on it, I lay in the same position until HE wakes up.

If I have a glass of water while I'm watching tv and MooShoo wants a "sippy" (which he ALWAYS does), he gets it till he's not thirsty anymore.

My cats spoiled???? Nah!!!

Dille has a spot she likes on the bed,and don't you know it's dead in the center! When it's time to go to sleep I have to arrange myself around her. That's not spoiling, that's just good manners! She was there first after all!

Maghoi has a paper sack by the door she likes to hide/sleep/play in. I should have thrown it away ages ago, but how can I throw someting out that doesn't belong to me? Again, not spoiling, just manners!

Hope you found a reliable contractor and didn't have to report them to the Better Business Bureau. Finding a good contractor can sometimes be such a headache.

Nakita always goes to sleep with us every night under the covers. Usually, though, she needs more room so she will lie stretched out against me (so we form a T shape). In order to make more room, I have to push Rob (

)slightly over and then he ends up on the edge of the bed, with the edge of the covers barely covering him. The end result is that he usually starts complaining he is cold and who pays the mortgage around here anyways?!

But.....I don't spoil her.

Spoil cats? Get real. Everything I do is necessary and standard procedure, like standing in the back porch in my stocking feet, holding the door open for up to 20 minutes in the freezing cold while my cats file in/out or just sit there trying to make up their minds.

Also remembering to buy the corn chips without sesame seeds, even though I like sesame seeds, because Sassy prefers his corn chips plain. Then breaking the corn chips into small pieces and hand-feeding them to Sassy.

And no one can sit in the living room chair because it's the cats' chair.

Yep, I must remember that Salt and Vinegar pringles are Soni's fave and he gets first bite. I have to break up his for him, as well.

That is such an adorable little house for Peanut! I love it.

Oh yes, Sash is sooooo spoiled! I only get up every hour and half sometimes to cater to his highness while I'm sleeping. Everything here revolves around Sash.

I just do momy's work like all moms. At night I seat to read children's stories, sorroundedn by the big pictures of cats (I got in a cat's magazine) and show them the drawings of the books. Sometime they pitz, pitz on the pics, Kim used to do it.. Of course, I sing the songs for each book. They listen careful Ryah, that is so silent, would ask me to repeat the songs sometimes. But this is just mom's work.
