A much-needed homage to my favorite felines, simply five of the coolest animals I know, in no particular order except from #1 to #5, but there are no favorites and the list can change here and there, but ladies and gentlemen, as always, please... NO WAGERING! Click on the photos, the bigger the better. And if I sound a little cat crazy, I am, so shoot me. But stay tuned for more Top 5s including dogs, stir fry vegetables, new bands, composers, great lines, etc. My High Fidelity moments, and my admission that Top 5's are not enough to express joy but are necessary for our short-attention-span universe. Mee Owww.
GRETL - A born conversationalist, leaver of loving claw marks on backs and shoulders, she grunts when you sneeze and attacks when you pant. Follows ballet on TV. Signature pose: arms and legs spread in surrender position, full belly exposed, slight curl to body, mewing incessantly.
TOBY - Groomer and kneader of humans' heads only after he has first groomed his private parts; best paired with brother Griffin for maximum sweetness, and has the biggest eyes in Catdom. Signature pose: a single paw-pat gently touching your face as a morning reminder to feed him, then a double-paw-pat a few minutes later when you fail to get up.
MAX - An urban catboy who wears his tuxedo to every occasion, he occupies upper bellies since wider sister Gretl usually takes up all the lap room. Also becoming proficient in the martial arts. Signature pose: on your belly laying facing you, two arms in front of him stretching toward you like he's giving you a hug.
GRIFFIN - Lover. Thinker. Barfer. Will contort body around any shape made by brother Toby; his preferred method of self-heating after direct sunlight basking: microwave. Signature pose: laying with arms tucked under body, head bowed and eyes closed, facing the weirdest direction possible.
SQUEAK - Truly squeaks with each step when running to her food dish, carrier of infectious disease C.O.L. (Cat On Lap), which renders her victims seriously hot and totally immobile. Signature pose: sitting prissily on back legs with right front paw raised and curled up, Karate Kid style.

I may actually become a cat lover...if only I could experience THOSE cats, it may be a reality. Alas, I have only cats that get their claws stuck in my face.
