I spoil them rotten. MW is more loving than his sister, but I spoil them both. Love to do it.

His thought ballon says "She feeds me, she takes care of me, she loves me unconditionly. She must be God." the second panel shows the women feeding her cat. The cat is looking at her and his thought ballon says. " She feeds me, she takes care of me, she loves me unconditionly. I must be god. " That is the fundamental difference between cats and dogs! LOL

I have a plaque hanging in my kitchen. It says the cat(s)
own the house, we just pay the mortgage. And its true, at
least according to our cats!!

I spoil my two all the time. They let me know when it's time to get up &/or go to bed as well as when I'm paying way too much attention to the computer. :)

We only have one furbaby, Misty. She will be 4 years old on July 4th. We adopted her from a box outside our local grocery store. She stole our hearts the moment we laid eyes on her. Spoilt..........NOT! LOL!

She awakens us for her breakfast every morning....doesn't matter if it is weekend or holiday....she wakes us up at 4am. She waits patiently while Rich takes his shower.....most of the time. There are times when she thinks she must be fed before anything else happens in the house. She only eats Friskies Indoor Dry Kitty Food and Friskies Salmon Pate.......nothing else will do! She drinks bottled water.....our water is not even tasty to us...so why should she have to drink it. She wants her kitty treats in the morning before Rich leaves for work and after he gets home from work.

She has a carpeted play palace for playing or napping. It sits by the window and she can watch over the neighborhood. She has all kinds of homemade toys. We don't like all the feathers that are attached to most toys. Misty does not like catnip......she gags when she even smells it.

Is Misty spoilt.............NO WAY! She's just a typical kitty.

I don't give Felix toys with feathers, but that's because we have a bird and I don't want to encourage him to think of feathers as something to pounce on.

My cats aren't spoiled, but they still tend to do what they want. It's just that the things we try to discourage them from doing, they do when we aren't looking -- like jumping onto the counter. My cat would like the others to leave for good and she won't be happy until they do. She just wants to be with me all day.

The other two are my son's cats. The older one sleeps on whatever sewing project(s) I have on my table. I finally gave up trying to get her to stay off. The little one plays with spools of thread and even straight pins, buttons, sequins -- any thing she can toss or spill.

You're kiddin'...........they sleep on my bed (and any place else that catches their eyes), get ice water to drink, heat and air conditioning, have more toys than I did when I was a kid, get me out of bed 7 times a night to go out (or come back in) have special dishes to eat out of (THREE times a day)............shall I continue?
