Cats Will Be Cats!

Here's the latest email from my Olympic CATlete, Her Royal Highness --

Hello, human. Today I excelled at gymnastics. Unfortunately, so did every other cat at the Games. Gymnastics is EVERYONE'S best event.

I was grace itself on the balance beam . . . .


My pommel horse performance had no equal . . . .


And yes! Perfect dismount!


But @#$%!! ribbon gymnastics did me in and dashed my medal hopes -- damn you, ribbons, why must you be so FUN????


Don't lose hope for me yet! I'm trying my best and I just KNOW that I will win a medal sooner or later!

Luv, hugz and purrz from your striving kitty HRH.

  12. Glory gone to ribbons, no fair.

    HRH, you are and will always be the best. We won't even think about that silly ribbon, not after seeing your grace on balance beam, and your feline agility on the pummel, and my kitty goodness, I gasped after that dismount!

    Stay glorious, HRH!

  14. Poor kitty... How could she resist the ribbon-roll-a-thon? Perhaps they should make that an olympic event.

  21. My kitty Fang has a desire to emulate HRH and compete in the next Olympics. The problem is that the only thing she wants to practice is her acceptance speech.

    Now show those puny humans how it's done HRH.
