Here he is... Rufus Harley, in his new favorite spot...

[Misunderestimator]

wedged behind me in my chair while I work.

[deadparrot]

1. He's adorable!

And looks quite comfy, if I do say so myself. :D

[ET Awful]

2. Awwww, HI RUFUS!

:bounce:

Here's some kitty treats for you. Tell your human to get down to the store and buy you a whole jar of these:



Seriously Rufus, take my advice on this, don't let Misunderestimator deceive you into thinking anything else is comparable. Just ask Quinn and Althea, they'll tell you I'm right.

:P

[Misunderestimator]

3. Thanks... I will definitely get some.

I got some Pounce treats... (I'm sure you're curling your lip reading that, aren't you?)... he doesn't like the soft ones, but he's ok with the hard ones. I'll get some of those right away :D

[ET Awful]

6. These ones come in salmon, chicken or beef flavors and are pure

freeze-dried meat, no preservatives, other chemicals, etc.

My cats go nuts for them, Althea will come up and meowingly guide me into the kitchen and force me over to the refrigerator to get her some :P. She LOVES these things!

4. Hannah and the ferrets approve!

[Montauk6]

5. Me being Mr. Literal again!...

I thought this was going to be a thread on the jazz bagpiper.

[progmom]

9. ha, no...

But he was named in the bagpiper's honor. ;)

[Montauk6]

26. Well, it's nice to know that your cat's being raised in an atmosphere of

great music. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. You need a kitten cam.

I'm just saying. :shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

12. Oh wow... what a great idea. He is the cutest thing after all!

:hi:

[progmom]

20. we could get one of those like they use on amazing race contestants

...attached to his collar by a little bendy wire...you could get a fish-eye view of him on a live feed all day. :D

[Misunderestimator]

21. LOL!

Um... not a chance... I'm not risking getting myself on camera :)

[Misunderestimator]

13. Here's another pic of him... sleeping :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. He reminds me of my very first kitten Sweetie...

who was our cat Merlin's brother. He's adorable.

[MissHoneychurch]

11. He looks content with being your master

what a beautiful cat!!!

[Misunderestimator]

14. He has me wrapped around his little paw.

[MaggieSwanson]

17. What a sweetie!

Being loved by a cat is the ultimate, isn't it? And I can see that he obviously loves you.

Thanks for the smile,

M

[Misunderestimator]

31. Isn't he the most adorable thing ever?

:hi:

[Metta]

23. Did you name your cat after the jazz bagpipe player?

Or was it something else? :hi:

[Misunderestimator]

24. He came with the name Harley... we added Rufus in honor of the bagpipe...

player. :D

[Metta]

34. Sweet! May you always bring pleasure to one another.

Are you perhaps into jazz harp? This gal cooks and has a great harmonic sense. Lots of rich chords, as you might suspect. Great choice of tunes. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE57C1CDB4BAE7E20C2C31F42C0BA7EF307934FF59C0C29441BDFBA3C54A62C50D34FFE8B8EFDF96ABD66ADFF2EA2160ED1C0EC53F6DC672D5DF0&sql=10:ylfozfi8eh6k :hi: :) :donut:

25. Warmest place in the house.

Who could blame him? When Ginger was little, he used to wedge himself between the back of Call Me Wesley's butt and the back of the chair for all-day naps, forcing CMW literally to "the edge of his seat." That's chair's no longer big enough for both of them, so Ginger just took over my red leather chair. :cry:

[Misunderestimator]

28. He's so REGAL!! And what a beautiful kitty chair that is.

:D

[MissMillie]

27. that cat has a great mug

I'm already in love w/ him.

[Misunderestimator]

29. That little mouth is so kissable too!!

[MissMillie]

30. Why thank you!

Oh.... you meant the cat! :silly:

[Misunderestimator]

32. LOL
