I have an opinion, and I am expressing it.

What is it with Sundays and "Service Temporarily Unavailable "???

Has Jim Rob taken to partying late on Saturday nights now?

[Lady Jag]

The cat also now has a security detail.

[who knows what evil?]

I like the idea of leaving money to a bunch of cats...they’re nicer than most of the people I have met...

Nah, he just uses his bandwith to watch NFL games in HiDef.

He CAN haz cheezburger!

What is wrong with stupid old biddies who leave millions to their pets whilst there are plenty of human charities that could do with the money?

I think it was Mark twain who first talked about leaving an inheritence to a home for unwed pussy cats. Not an all bad idea. causes less mischief than leaving it to humans?

by the way, if you read the article she did leave it to someone of her choice with the task of taking care of the cat. I am sure that person will spend it wisely.

I seriously do not think that any cat could possibly be as spoiled as my Rocket. His wish is my command, and he knows how to "talk" to me.  

[Slings and Arrows]

And a new ‘do.

Maybe humans weren’t all that nice to her in her lifetime. There is nothing wrong with leaving money to animal charities, or to someone who showed her kindness in her declining years.

It’s hard for cats of great wealth to get along with other cats.

One rich cat I knew was recently asked by another feline how she was feeling after a certain medical procedure.

“Oh, I am quite well now, thank you, ” the rich cat replied, stiffly. “I had a hysterectomy. ”

“For heaven’s sake! ” the alley cat exclaimed in exasperation - ”Why can’t you call a spayed a spayed. ”

Leona Helmsley’s dog, Trouble, incidentally, died in June.

I gave a gorgeous 1902 Edouard Jules grand piano to the Spay Today organization of Winchester, VA (and “cat farm”) with the task of taking care of my cat Nelson in perpetuity or seeing that he found a good home.

Wish I had shot the cat and kept the piano.

Charles Town, WV rather.

Get thee to a punnery!
