But I digress. I can SO picture Gus in the Doggles driving the Boxster but Andrea's coons, not so much. Can you imagine the battle to try and get a pair on any of them? My furbaby, Laurel (little black kitty), when I first got her was so nervous and neurological that if I touched her the wrong way - and I never knew what was the wrong way - would jump out of her skin so bad her back claws left huge gouges in my skin. Just thinking about Oscar's and Nicky's and Pauline's potential reactions to Doggles has me cringing in memory of all the Laurel gougings. Ugh!

Laurel's much better now, by the way. It only took about 2 years to calm her. And I have a love/hate relationship now with gauze. But no, there is no way Laurel would ever wear Doggles...I wouldn't even dare to try! 😉

Oh and good thing Gus is on a diet and adjusting well to it. Just don't let him read about Andrea and Pauline...he sounds so smart, I wouldn't put it past him to learn how to read and I can just imagine the mouth watering (over the turkey, that is). 😉 Laurel is also on a diet - for allergies. She used to get all kinds of treats and I used to go through the turkey thing with her too. But now she can't have any of that anymore, though she still begs for it like crazy. She rules me but my willpower to resist her begging has gotten much better and it had to. Poor baby.

Your cats are very beautiful, Andrea...even if they do know it only too well. 😉 Hello Merri, I  think this is the first time we meet here👭😻. The thing with Oscar is that he thinks he is a dog in a cat costume and he is a mom pleaser. He does (almost) everything to please me plus he thinks he is a watch cat/dog. When our neigbors lawn service comes he sits outside (screend porch) and watches them the whole time and makes sure they see him and he starts hissing if someone comes to close to the screens. Both Nicky and Oscar are trained to go on a leash. Hubby and I take them out for a walk in the winter, otherwise it is too hot for them. One time we were out walking the boys a helicoper flew over us, the next thing was that this heli took two loops over us and someone inside was waving at us...

Oscar would tolerate the coonaggles😎, Nicky not so much he could be more like your Laurel. And Oscar would love to sit on the frontseat and have the wind going through his hair. Maybe I can attach him to me like the yorkie... Andrea
