I'm not eating that

I'M NOT EATING THAT!!!

I am one fussy Persian cat. I think my lack of eating is slowly driving my human servants crazy and bankrupt. I give new meaning to the word fussy.

Every evening at six o'clock, on the dot I present myself for dinner. I like to stand right in front of the fridge. That way the humans know I want service. I'm not one for crying out. If they don't tend to me pronto, I like to give them an evil look.

Buffet style eating suits me best. I like a fresh bowl of water, with an ice cube if it's hot. Then I like my royal canin dry food for Persian cats in a nice clean ceramic bowl. When It comes to wet food I want it, but I'm not going to eat it. At best I'll just lick the gravy a little. Then I like to know what the humans are eating. I'll scratch the dining chairs until they offer me a taste of their dinner. Boy, do they eat some yucky stuff. Once I've see what their eating I usually high tail it out of the dining room and head for the couch.

I've complied a little list of foods I won't eat, for my humans.

1. milk and cream (yuck and double yuck)

2. fresh meat such as steak. ( I can' t be bothered with all that chewing)

3. Fish (No way.It stinks)

4. Chicken (Boring!)

5. Raw egg (Why would I want to eat raw egg??)

6. Prawns (Bad for your health. I'm watching my cholesterol)

7. Cat food in a tin (Would you eat it!?)

OK gotta go. Time for my afternoon nap

Welcome to Purrfect Style! We're entering uncharted territory; so you'll have to be a little patient with us.

Allow me to introduce Penelope Persian. She's our CCEO (cat chief executive officer). She's been in charge at our house for the last two years. We often find her sitting in our home office chair. She pretends to be asleep. But she's always got one eye ever so slightly open. A good CCEO always needs to know whats going on.

Penelope, like a lot of other pets out there, is an important part of our family. She provides us with lots of laughs and helps to make our home a happy place.

One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home.

Like myself Penelope loves shoes. I often find her sitting on top of or chewing a pair of my favourite shoes (I thought only dogs chewed shoes). She also likes to chew on a good book. We have a number of books with little teeth marks piercing through the front cover.

I hope you agree that Penelope is a very stylish cat.

Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.
