If your cats had to earn their living, what would they do?

Scouty's natural gift is as an acupuncturist/massage therapist. She
was just sitting on the desk beside my computer, purring her head off
vigorously kneading my shoulder and performing acupuncture at the same
time because she refuses to have her claws clipped more than once a
month... the only problem would be that it would take six visits
before she'd agree to come out from under the bed to see you - but
after that you'd get a full-body massage every time!

Silly would be a chef... but I don't think she'd have many repeat
customers because most of the plates would come out from the kitchen
already licked clean!

And Tessie would have to be a gossip columnist. She's a master of
sucking up to people and she always has to know EVERYTHING that's
going on in the world around her. And then she'll tell you about it in
great detail. 'Look meowmie, somebody walked past the window! There's
a ducky out there! Oh wow, the neigbour's having a smoke break! I
wonder if he'll say hello to me today?'

Sammy would be really good as a hot water bottle, although I'm not sure
how much he can earn doing that! Still, he's good at doing the large
warm lump thing, although he needs to work on positioning himself where
his target needs the warmth rather than where he feels most comfortable.

He's also really good at interior design, particularly in clearing
clutter from flat surfaces and creating interesting designs with
shredded paper or cardboard.

What would your cats do?

Maggy May would be a a mommy or a baby-sitter. She raised several
litters back in the day and two of them stayed with her after their
kittenhood, Missy because she hates humans and needed a place where
that wouldn't doom her and (RB) Winnie because he was, is, perfect.
She also helped raise Bear, our Lab, and still treats Missy and Bear
as he kids. She will also mother anyone who is down or needy. She is
soft and furry and has the loudest and sweetest purr.

Missy would handle armed security. She wouldn't let anyone near, not
any human. She would be alert, vigilant and, if needed, violent. At
four pounds, she wouldn't pack much punch but she would give it her
all.

Sunrise would be, is, a model. She is a beautiful red Persian and
loves to pose. She loves to lounge on the window ledge so that the
people outside can see her beauty and perfection of form. She also
likes to get close enough to sneeze on my food but that's a hobby.

WooToo would be a manager of some sort. She certainly knows how to
tell _me_ what to do. Her management style is charming/imperious.

Bear would be the goodwill ambassador. He loves all humans, cats and
other d*gs.

Waffles:- the feline equivalent of Ray Mears - survival skills expert -
always able to find food and shelter in the wild, to be self-sufficient
Francis - porn star in soft porn movies, as he's Mr LurrrrverMan.
Marble - restaurant critic as he's always ready to eat..

Molly could succeed at headmistress at a school for young cats. She
is very much a little control freak and does not hesitate to provide
discipline.

Jake says he is old enough to retire (he isn't) so should not be
expected to do anything. He does excel at getting the dog into
trouble, so maybe there is a career in there somewhere.

Kayla practices her soccer game every day. She wants to know if there
is a career for a Border Collie that consists of herding soccer balls
and basketballs? Is there, is there, is there?

Willow would be a model, she struts around with that bottle brush tail up in
the air all the time and with an attitude.

Miz Piglet would take care of young parentless kitties. She is a natural
mother and seems to think she can take on any number of bitties at one time.

O T is a sort of timid show off. As long as Harri Roadcat (Dan's cat) is
around, he has the nerve to try anything. He likes to rescues things and
probably other cats.

Sadie Dog thinks she was rescued to lay around and eat and talk to me when I
need a friend. Other than that, and being a friend to the cats, especially
Piglet, she has no ambition.

It is good to hear that Piglet has another dog friend. She is a
special cat. And speaking of Piglet, her friend Wascal is a natural
for the job of guide and scout. No longer more than a casual hunter,
he still enjoyes the Out and would love to show In cats around in
safety and, of course, consideration of the enviromnent. His human
says that Wascal has honed a new Out skill in recent years: mooching
from picknickers. Sort of Yogi Bear in minuature.

Why, they'd be cat burglars, of course! ;

Seriously (or as serious as this subject can get)...

Demi - fashion consultant, make-up artist, dietician (the ultimate blonde
valley girl)
Jessie - fitness instructor
Sammy - bodyguard for hire
Da Boyz - I can't see them as anything other than juvenile delinquents at
this moment in time

Hugs,

Pickle would be something akin high level security of the tactical police.
He remains aloof and immpartial whilst he regularly patrols his 'beat' of
all the rooms in the house to make sure everything is Just Rightm, and
endures any interference with his job extremely stoicly (perhaps like those
Beefeater guards at Buckingham Palace). If somethng is wrong, he will very
discreetly come and tell me with his tiny voice, but otherwise does not want
to get involved.

Shadow cat *used* to be an undercover spy - we knew she was still in the
house by the dissappearance of the food and apeparance of objects in the
catbox, but otherwise didn't see her. But recently she has decided she wants
to be Queen. Pickle has not taken this well.

Suki would be a 'famous for being famous' celebrity - she is stunningly good
looking, thrives on attention, thows herself at anyone (except me) and goes
to great effort to ensure she gets all the adoration she is sure she
deserves. She is also extremely loud mouthed and mind bogglingly stupid. She
regularly gets absolutely hammered by Shadow, but doesn't change her
behaviour one iota. Any attention is good attention, according to Suki.

Flluffy would be the very dedicated (obsessed?) fan, drooling at the
object(s) of her affection and hanging off their every word. She still
doens't understand why Pickle doesn't love her back

Boyfie would be a peace ambassador, or maybe a therapist. KFC would be head
of MI5.
