I've decided that the king of the house must be my cat....

Why? Several reasons really; some of which I've just noticed. For example: His food. He gets the same brand regardless if there is something on sale for cheaper. Me? Do I buy Kraft cheese if the store brand is less expensive? No. Do I get Garnier or Herbal Essences shampoo if it isn't on sale (and with coupons for crying out loud!?) No. But the cat, he gets to have the same food ALWAYS, no matter the cost.

His litter. Unfortunately, I have to agree with him on this one. I have a 600 square foot apartment; you'd better believe I'm buying the fancy schmancy litter with the "odor cyrstals." He rebels if I don't anyway. For some reason, if I buy a different litter (this will not happen again I assure you) he throws it right out of the box! Tons of it, all over the place. And this is a big cat people. He can move a LOT of litter. But again, do I get the super-soft toilet paper with lotion? Nope. CVS brand for me. But for the cat? Hmph..... And don't get me started on the cleanup routine for HIS box versus MY toilet...

Do I get a doorman and chauffer? I think not. The cat on the other hand decides when he wants out and who is there to do it? Me. The cat cannot be left alone out on the patio (dogs in the complex, plus all the lower levels look the same and he'll wander around the fence to the next patio, then look at the door as if to say, "OK, let me in now.") So because he cannot be left alone I get to babysit. That is until he wanders back to the door and stares at me....spoiled creature.

But, he is cute, isn't he?

He sure is cute and yes the cats always rule the roost lol. My mom's cat "screams" (meows very loudly) at her when he wants something. Whether it's food, being played with, water, milk, treats or whatever. I hear him when I'm on the phone with her and I always ask "what is Noah screaming at you for this time?"

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

This one does as well. My parent's two cats really don't. Nice that we took the loud obnoxious one huh? LOL. I have had him since I was about 8 years old, though. I think he's got me pegged is the problem

He wasn't so sure last week as we had our basset hound that we adopted from the pound nuetered and had to stay inside except for potty breaks and Spot desided we were crazy people for allowing that creature inside "his" home lol.

Don't you just love them?

**shoiji** · 03-25-2010, 06:24 PM

Yup understand that. My cat gets organic cat food. Yes, it has helped her but I don't even get organic food all the time. She also likes to talk (rather scream) whenever she wants something. I always know when it is 9:00 pm since she starts screaming waiting for me to go to bed. I have to admit though, I do enjoy her greeting me at the door.

I love it!!

I understand it too. All five of my babies are queens and kings of the house and spoiled.

He's adorable and he sounds just like my cat. Our grocery budget is $100 a week and $20 of that goes for cat food and kitty litter. My cat requires a special diet, he's elderly and only has a few teeth.
