"Shall I go catch a mouse or bird?
Naw, too energetic.
Not when I can just lie here
And wait for my bowl to be filled.
Will it be meat or fish today?
I hope its not just those biscuit things,
They are O.K in an emergency,
But not a serious consideration
For an aristocratic cat like me.
I suppose I should move into the shade,
But its such an effort.

Oh poor baby, too tired to move? What need someone to carry you? Cats are so pampered. That's why they are cats.

Easily reasoned why this placed. It is a prelude to the attitude of a feline. Ha! Thanks for your humor and experianced view of the cat! I enjoyed the read.

I can just imagine the cat thinking these thoughts. He does look a very laid back moggy, judging by that picture. Congrats on your bronze trophy!
