Cleo Patti I

Cleo Patti I

The next ruler of Egypt behold Cleo Patti I!  I added a close up of Oscar so because of that pesky fairness doctrine house rule….here is Patti.  Note the look of raw determination in those eyes.  She rules with an iron paw, thus I am reminded when my hand is bitten for not serving fish fast enough.  After she has eaten, she will then climb up to rub her cheek against mine purring loudly a changed cat.  Definately a cat with attitude!  MM, if you are reading this…please send a plane from Cairo soon!   Hopefully, before I am eaten for not being quick enough with the tuna or attacked yet again for DARING to go in her boy’s room at night with the poor excuse of putting clothes away.  She’s Dan’s guard cat, he’s not been bitten for any reason…she only bites the food slave.  It’s an especially flattering picture as none of her unsightly furry rolls are showing.  OUCH!

Oscar Mau

Oscar Mau

I was going through Dan’s pictures of the Starship Concert to see if there were any worth posting…..let’s just say his Little River Band shots were much better.  Hard with all the lights and movement to take shots that aren’t a blurry mess.  He did much better than I would have done…that’s why he’s the camera man.  I did find this gem of Oscar posing with one of his plastic bags he pulls out of the closet to lay on.  Photo by Dan, of course.  Check out the cute goatee!  To quote Oscar, “Mau…Mau…Mau!”

My Co-Hosts

My Co-Hosts:

Oscar the big gingered lad and Patti the Black and White behind him.  Often walking on keyboards, biting the mike or stealing all mic socks….making odd sounds in the background, their duties are varied.  The pair are also the inspiration of many a funny cat story.

Oscar – an oddy intelligent Egptian Mau, who will say “Mau Mau” if you ask him if he’s a Mau.  Does a great lion impression (including a pathetic sounding roar) and learned to use the toilet thus now thinks litterboxes are for cats.  Seems to think he is a human child and really acts like one.  When my son Dan is at school, Oscar sleeps on the top bunk of the bunkbeds thinking that is “his” personal bed and plays with toys in Dan’s room.  Is afraid of snow, likes car rides if he can wear a seatbelt too….does really odd things daily that makes you question if he really is a cat.

Patti – An American Short-Hair with attitude.  Demands cans of fish for breakfast…will hiss if you don’t do as she asks.  Loves to lay between me and the keyboard and bite my hands if I try to type.  She plans to be the future ruler of Egypt (Cleo-Patti I) but the Egyptians have yet to send a plane for her.  Plans to rule Egypt with an iron paw yet without need of a Swiss bank account, might be a cheaper alternative to former President Mubarak.  If she is using a blanket…you can’t take it from her without her being upset with you for days over the incident.  If you can serve fish on demand..you found her weakness.
