Cats Still Rule, Yes Really

Over 2 years ago, a dual blog post that was incredibly articulate. sophisticated, and amazingly insightful, conclusively established that Cats do rule while Dogs in fact, drool.  Since that time there has been no further discussion on the subject, proving the accuracy of the hypothesis.  Metaphorically, cats are the musicians of the animal world.  They sit inconspicuously with their sunglasses on, and say cool things in their Lou Rawls-like voice such as "what's happening mama?" to their owner.  Conversely, dogs are trying frantically to catch a sniff of somebody's crotch - very uncool.  If you happened to miss those posts, you can become edified at Cats Rule and at Dogs drool.

Since that time, the number of cat inhabitants at our home has increased 100%.  Allison's cat, Acura a.k.a. Miss Puss, now lives with us.  Miss Puss was, at first, very antisocial - very uncool, but stopped short of crotch-sniffing.  She didn't want to be around us and would hiss at her smarter, maler, more intelligent partner, Chumley.  Recently she has become more social, allowing the humans to pet her occasionally.  She has also taken a subservient position as shown in the picture below. 



Chumley has claimed the dominate sun drenched position on the kitchen table, while Miss Puss knows her place on the floor.  Things are coming together as nature intended.

  3. He's great at cleaning up...what can I say. And he's named after one of my favorite tv characters. And the cats?

  4. Chumley was named after a walrus in the cartoon Tennessee Tuxedo (way before your time).

    Miss Puss was the name of the pet cat owned by crazy brother in law Peter (Chris Elliot) in Everybody Loves Raymond.

  5. Lyndy named all her animals after ford cars, and they all died... so we were going to see if acura lasts longer than fords... and guess what? They do!
