This is how much I spoil my cats:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

That's right. A cat bed on the refrigerator. It's nice and warm up there, and they were hanging out there anyhow, so I gave them a bed. Right now that's Jeoffry in it. Sometimes it's Milo. Sometimes it's both of them (Cat #3, Pixie, prefers to sleep on my bed).

So how spoiled are your cats?

1. You accommodate your cats. That's

not spoiling them.

I accommodate my dogs too, although I have to say they don't have beds on top of the fridge. That's because they haven't asked. Yet.

2. Mine just get a heated bed during the winter.

Wow! Your refrigerator door is so clean. All of my magnets are holding many layers.

3. The only reason the fridge is fairly clean

is that I just remodeled the kitchen and the fridge is the only surviving appliance. It had to get a really good cleaning, but I'm sure it will get much more cluttered (both inside and out) before long.

And we also have heated cat beds for whichever cats don't grab the one on the refrigerator and get stuck on the floor.

4. your kitchen is byoooooti-ful, VO

Love that blue and the pretty white cabinets, too.

OK, here's how spoiled my cats are: they get extra virgin olive oil poured over their kitty food. As a result, they have shiny, thick, glossy coats.

5. Oh, I'll have to try that!

One of the cats likes eggs, but I've never offered them EVO.

6. I spoil the hell out of my dog

If I had cats I know I'd spoil the hell out of them as well. Of course wit dogs (especially big ones) you can only spoil them so much without having behavioral problems.

But with my doggie I read to him every night before I go to sleep (whatever book I happen to be reading). If I read silently like normal people read books he'd try to eat it. And yes, I do different voices for different characters for his amusement. I also often have the tub full of water so he can amuse himself playing in there with all his various tubby toys. Yes, I got him tubby toys... looking at my bathroom one would think I had a little kid. I play hide and seek with him and graciously pretend I don't know where he's hiding even though he hides in the same place all the time (between the shower curtain and the tub), and since he's bigger than I am it's hardly a very good hiding place to begin with. I spend hours making him special toys that he likes even though I know he'll chew them up in a few minutes and spend part of nearly every day repairing them. And on and on it goes.

OMG! You have a "round tuit" potholder! I thought my granny was the only person in the universe that had one, and I never met anyone outside our family that understood the joke!

7. That pot holder is really, really old.

I inherited it. I think it dates from the '70s or earlier. It's pretty grubby but I can't bear to part with it.

Your dog is definitely spoiled. I talk to the cats but I don't read to them (they'd get bored and go to sleep), and I don't think they'd care to play in the bathtub, at least not if there was water in it. But it sounds like fun to play in the tub with a big dog.

8. They probably thought you'd never figure it out. nt

9. I give Twilight fur ball remedy even though she has not coughed any fur balls up in months.

You can never be too sure. She tells me when she wants some. I figure she'll tell me to stop if she wants me to stop. She's the boss of me LOL!

10. That's adorable. n/t

11. Best view in our house - third floor, overlooking the lake. So, what do we place there?

13. That's not spoiled - that's entitled and graced BY GOD! (echoing voice for the last two words)

12. All of our animals are spoiled rotten. I had a cat that could clear the fridge from the floor.

He was a fairly large (but not fat) tiger with REALLY long legs. He'd just leap from a sitting position, throw his front paws over the top, and swing his rear legs up to finish the deal. I don't think I ever saw him use the counter on the way. He also chased dogs off the property, despite being declawed (found him that way, nothing I'd ever do to a cat).
