Earl's Page

Hi. My name is Earl

These pictures are of me at a cat show, with one of my people waving some silly feather toy at me. I'll pretend to be interested because it seems to entertain them. But really, I'd just like a snack or something. I'm quite handsome, aren't I? Got any freeze dried chicken?

Really, cat shows are the bomb. My humans fuss over me and feed me treats and coo and act silly, and people walk by and tell me how handsome I am. This I already know. We get to travel to all kinds of exotic places like Kimberton PA, Cherry Hill NJ and Chesapeake Virginia. Yeah, we're livin' large!

Hotels are cool. I get to hang out in the room with my people and stand on them in the middle of the night until they pet me. I told them to take photos so I could brag to all my buds, but all they had was this dumb camera phone and they didn't show off my true Earlness. Don't I rate a better camera?

Talk about a room with a view!

Sometimes the whole thing bores me. Like now, I'm thinking of taking a nap.

So, they tell me now that I don't have to go to any more cat shows. The show in Richmond, VA on April 18-19 was SOOOOOO busy. They just kept taking me up to the rings, over and over and over again. They put all these ribbons up on my cage and told me I was a Grand Champion now. Everybody clapped when they announced that.

When I'm at home, I try to help around the house. They won't let me in the room where all the cute girls are, even though I beg and plead and promise to behave..... I mean, maybe the kittens could use some socializing from Uncle Earl. Here, kitty kitty.........
