Daily Kos is for pooties!! Okay, the woozles and fluffies, and feathered and scaled things can come along, too.
This is my cat Pumpkin in one of his favorite places - you've all seen him before!
He likes to hang out with his sister (littermate) Comet. She's big and warm, and he likes to snuggle up to her for a nice long nap.
When company comes, Pumpkin hides in the closet, behind Rich's shirts. Comet will generally just hang out on the bed, though she'll sometimes go hide in the closet, too. It all depends on who's here.
Recently, my sister and her husband went away on a vacation, and asked us to doggysit their miniature dachshund, Maggie. This is Maggie.
Maggie likes to chase cats. Her idea of playing with cats is to yank their fur out by the roots. The cats, quite understandably, are not fond of this activity. So what did my cats do? They went on the offensive!
Now, Maggie was accustomed to a declawed cat. When she encountered needle-tipped slaps, she was shocked! These kitties are ARMED!
Maggie didn't stand a chance, and, by the end of the week, she was totally cowed. The cats could walk right past her, and she never moved. Triumph.
