We were all saddened on Saturday (5 June) by the passing of former President Ronald Reagan. Among his many skills and accomplishments, one of his nicknames was “The Great Communicator”. In honor of our 40th President, we present cats trying to imitate “The Great Communicator”.
Go Ahead, Make My Day !!
Mister Cat Owner, Please Feed Me Now !!
There You Go Again.
Win One For The Gipper !! 
A healthy respect for cats is good. (Did you read post 14?)
My dog is a nice girl. She even plays with crickets without hurting them.
I meant did you see post 8?
What about Mr Biggles owner.
I meant Mr. Bigglesworth.
You mean Mr. Bigglesworth owner? Ahhhh, but he is fictional so he can do whatever he wants.
(D@** internet, I looked all over to find out who he was, finally had to ask someone here. I haven't seen "Austin Powers.")
That's interesting. My cat gets bugs on command, she plays with them till they don't play back no more. I had a dog as a kid that got bugs on demand too.
(I may have already told this to you...) One evening I was talking on the phone in the living room. My cat came into the room from the direction of the bathroom. He sat down lowered his head and opened his mouth. A large spider about 3 inches in diameter including its legs, fell out of my cat's mouth and landed on the carpet in front of him. It didn't move as it was stunned from its ride. Then it began to run across the floor. I watched and decided to stomp on it and kill it as I did not want a giant spider extended family living in out house. My cat sat and watched this whole thing. After the spiders demise, my cat got up and walked over to the dead spider, sniffed at the carcas, then walked away disappointedly.
If Laura Earl gets into the "family way" you'll need to clean the litter box for her. You can still use the Ronco.
Yep, read the posts. There could be something to it. I recall that at least one "philosopher" hated cats, but he was French, anyway. Cats only need us because we put the handles too high. And why is pet food put into metal cans, anyway? Why not a "bio-degradeable" wrapper?
Ever notice how cats and dogs in a "family" cooperate? The cat knocks it off the table or counter, and the dog chews it up. When you look around for someone to blame, the dog stands on his legal rights. "Anything that falls on the floor is MINE!"
And the cat gives you that haughty, "Don't even start with me." expression, then starts licking itself, as if to say, "By the way, when's dinner?"
You didn't read much about Gandhi, did you?
LOL!

I have always bought dry food in a bag. Every cat but one gets us to put the food into their dish even if they can get to the bag. One stray helped himself to the bag (he climbed into it) if there wasnt' any in the dish.
If Laura Earl gets into a family way there will be some splainin to do. My Vasectomy is over 23 years old. But Cat litter is a very dangerous for pregnant women to be around. Actually dangerous for the unborn.
Mahatma.
I don't know which is worse..a spider or a vole. My siamese very proudly, one early morning, killed a vole. Wanting to share her catch with me, she came on the bed while I was sleeping and dropped the vole on my chest. I was just waking up and thought the vole was one of her paws and started petting it until the light bulb turned on in my brain that the cat was sitting at the bottom of my bed, waiting maybe for praise. Later that day my neighbor asked me what was all the laughing at that early hour coming from my house...but it was not laughing...it was my screaming....
Or the movie star?
Okay, what did Gandhi have to say about people killing spiders or cats who bring spiders to their owners? What's the scoop?
Look it up.
I must be in trouble.
Waking up with a dead vole on your chest is definitely worse!
I just thought it was odd that my cat brought an insect to me. Though, I guess that is all the "game" he has access to.
