    So Funny

    Dan - Only one job for our Dan - Senior Cushion tester.
    There's not one in the whole house he's not tried out and approved!

    Ketchum - Definately our Cleansing Inspector - he spends so much time hiding under the bed!!

    Bagel - There's only one job for our pretty girl - Prima Ballerina. The way she tippy-toes around the house with her feet in 2nd Position is a joy to behold!!!

    Mr Jones is appalled that I think of him as a butler/gigolo.
    That may be his night job, but
    He has informed me that he is a landscape architect/land excavator.
    He always finds something wrong in the plant beds and has to rearrange the stones. He's like a little earth mover.

    I am sure as pretty as she is she would marry the CEO... This is what these girls sometimes do when the others of us are working hard....

    Hey everybody, you should check this out! Click here to see Ralph, a real, live, working kitty kat. He's got a great story. And this vet has a great website!

    Cat occupations - I love this!

    My senior girl, Patty: Supreme court judge - very calm and dignified.
    My calico, Ginger: Mafia hit girl - very cunning and clever; and a little psycho.
    My only boy, Louis: Accountant - methodical and reserved.
    My youngest, Krissy: Model - very pretty fluffball, but not the brightest girl around.

  9. I saw a book once -- photos of working cats...cats in book stores, barns, etc. WHY, oh why didn't I buy it????

    Taz asked me to sign him up for laundry folder as well.
    We won't tell him that he really is no help in that department. He makes the work take much longer than it should.

    Well, as many know, Ritzy recently became the "official office cat"...but I think she perceives it more like Edwina's world, where MOM is the secretary. Ritzy fills so many roles in our lives

    Comic relief - she always seems to know when to make us laugh

    Purr therapist - I don't know what I would do without it

    Queen, of course...all chairs eventually become her throne.

    Artist - remember the various mysterious "mouse arrangements'?

    Mom's personal trainer - that 'chase the mousie' game really gets mom to move around the house, even though she THINKS she is exercising Ritzy

    Exhibitionist - you've all seen her "work the room" with that cutie cat thing, right?

    Window monitor


    ...and most recently, she's apparently dabbling as a Shakesperean actor! (see pic)


    AS YOU LIKE IT!

    Well, here's a link to where you can buy a used copy of the Working Cats book (it's out of print) - maybe your hubby could get it for you as a nice Christmas gift! Barnes & Noble Out of Print

    Also, while I was cruising around looking for that book, I stumbled onto a really cute website: Shopcat that features working cats - tux lovers will particulary enjoy Henry from Seattle.....
    The legend says that Mohammed adored cats. When one of them was sleeping on his sleeve and he had to go out, Mohammed supposedly cut off the sleeve so as not to disturb his pet.

    A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast - Proverbs 12:10

    How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven. - Robert A. Heinlein

    What greater gift than the love of a cat? ~ Charles Dickens

    There is, incidently, no way of talking about cats that enables one to come off as a sane person. - Dan Greenberg

    If purring could be encapsulated, it'd be the most powerful anti-depressant on the market. ~Alexis F. Hope

    Shopcat -what a wonderful website. Thanks for sharing.
    I have met several working kitties in the US especially in bookstores. I met one in Mendocino and in a village near Mount Shasta. She controlled the bags to make sure there were no shoplifters.
    Cats also like to work in antiquity shops. Pleases their sense for quality I guess.
