Friday's Top Ten

Three weeks ago, the Top Ten was about dogs. Two weeks ago, it was about cats.

The one about cats garnered fantastic comments, and I'm going to use those for today's Top Ten.

So in the order in which they were received, and with thanks and full credit to the commenters . . .

More top ten duties of The Cat:

10. Rub your fur all over Aubrie until she sniffles!

  9. Our cats lay on any open book/newspaper they fan find despite the readers' intent of doing actual reading.
Kimberly Loomis at The Perpetual Writer

  8. Get the humans to feed you as much as possible as early and late as possible. Develop that big belly!
Conda V. Douglas at Conda's Creative Center

  7. Stare accusingly at everyone as they enter your room.

  6. Will let you pet it only if you've made an appointment beforehand.
