Custard: One Very Spoiled Cat

Photo courtesy of Nancy Davis. Nancy Davis sent us this picture of Custard, her very spoiled Siamese cat. Of course it goes without saying that most house cats are spoiled, but some are worse than others. For example, our cats Pooh and Tigger act like they own our house, and that Cheria and I should feel privileged that we're allowed to share it with them! But spoiled or not, a cat can be a loving and loyal member of the family, eager to curl up with you while you're lying on the couch watching TV or taking a nap. Finicky felines tend to have good lives - they just lounge around the house, playing with their toys and eating and sleeping at their leisure. But they also have the ability to sense when you're feeling a little down or under the weather and provide a bit of comfort and companionship just when you need it most. So if you find yourself in need of a faithful friend and companion, why not visit your local animal shelter and adopt one of the many beautiful cats that are in desperate need of a good home? After all, each of us needs a little spoiling from time to time, and that includes us humans as well as our pets!   "Picture of the Day" archives             Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
