It's that time of year again, so it's time to announce the winner of the coveted title of "Housecat of the Quarter." The awards banquet will be held tonight in the beautiful kitchen with a menu featuring a can of Alaskan King Crab-flavored Sheba® and Culligan filtered water with just enough ice cubes ...
Mom keeps track of our behavior each quarter, grades us on our individual merits and general "cattiness", and then makes the announcement. I thought that I was gonna repeat, but to my utter disappointment, the title of "Housecat of the Quarter" for March 3, 2007 goes to:
HOUSECAT OF THE QUARTER: MARCH 3, 2007

My "PtMiwM*" story: Mom speculates that I was a pure-bred show cat owned by a horrible cat-lady who lived down the street and that she let me go because I had a heart murmur and one distended testicle. I was furry frightened, but came on Mom's porch to get some food. Mom was sitting in the doorway one afternoon when I came up for some food. I saw the Feline Americans inside the house, vaulted over Mom's legs, and the rest is history. I'm the oldest EVER of the Feline Americans. I'm very scrawny, but I'm determined to hold my own as long as I can. *PtMiwM means Prior to Movin' in with Mom
Favorite Treat: BBQ pork from the Chinese place

Hugs to DaisyMae and All the Feline Americans! Thanks for the hugs sent to us! Mom wouldn't let us on the computer the last couple of days so we're a little late to the game.
Congratulations to Fudge Ripple since we have a soft spot for Maine Coons. He is beautiful. Our big sister was a torbie Maine coon who died nearly 10 years ago at the age of 19. We both loved her very much. She was a former show cat (she even has pictures-and a centerfold- in a book called "This is the Maine Coon Cat published in 1983 by her former owner Sharon P. Bass, TFH Publications, Inc). Mom got her when she was three--after she'd already had a few litters of kittens. Mom was glad that Precious had a long life because Mom felt a little cheated out of the first three years.

DaisyMae,
You're always be the top Cat of the Quarter for me.

Thanks, Jake ... Smooches from me.

DMM (and Fudgie),
Mama says I should apologize for being annoying about the color of the Temptations package. She said that it doesn't matter what color the bag the is...the goodies are still inside. I think I was a little 'wound up' last night. I didn't mean to be a brat.

Congratulations! and arent' Dairy Temptations just the best ever?
