You’ve all seen this photo, featured in the Toronto Star on April 29th. We like the horrified expression on Iggy’s face. He knows he is in the presence of a superior being.
But have you seen this next photo?
Yessir, that would be Stephen Harper, about to snack on a kitten. This would be from his sweater period.
Stevie would have us believe he’s a regular guy fostering unwanted kitties, but this pic makes us wonder what’s really going on. That kitten would rather be anywhere but with Stevie.
In the meantime, Iggy’s picked up a platinum Foreign Burmese boy named Eric, to keep Mimi company at Stornoway.
It may be too early to call, but we predict the next vote could well be in the paws of felis domesticus. My, how the fur will fly.
Behind every great cat, there is another. In my case, there are a couple.
Meet Mimi, a champagne tortie Foreign Burmese.
She is, without a doubt, the smartest cat in the world. And here's why:
Although she is a former champion showcat, Mimi has never really worked a day in her life, and has no visible means of income. Yet ...
1. She has a fur coat. She is very proud of it, wears it all the time, even sleeps in it.
2. She maintains a special diet, available only at selected retail outlets.
3. Although she has had two litters of kittens, and is 11 years old -- that's the human equivalent of about 70 to 75 years old, she is as svelte and smooth as a little mink.
4. She enjoys the company of two handsome younger males, myself and Farfel. Both of us will defer to her in a heartbeat. She's just too smart!
5. Every Friday, she shares a meal of the finest poached salmon available at St. Lawrence Market with She-Who-Feeds-Me.
6. She never has to vacuum, wash dishes, or clean up Farfel's barfies.
7. She gets to sleep about 20 hours a day.
8. Really, her main responsibility is deigning to have her photograph taken.
