Cat of the Week (17.March 2008 - 23.March 2008)

Introduction
Hi im Cleo, I have to put up with two goofy males in my house and now a small brown kitten. I spend a lot of time outside but like to snuggle up in the evening with my favourite human.

Congratulations
Tell us a little bit more about your family that has helped you to become Cat of the Week?

I live with my brother Julius who is also a Maine Coon and a rather annoying little twerp called Merlin. My human family are very useful to have around and I like to spend most of my time out in the garden stalking meeces. I am so pleased to have been picked as Cat of the Week - Merlin will envy me a bit I think!

What makes you laugh?
Merlin mostly. You see he is a bit dim and I like to trick him into doing stupid things and then stand back and watch the fun!

What is your most treasured possession?
My beautiful collar that my mum gave me for Christmas. She is away a lot of time at a place called University and I miss her alot, but when I wear my collar it reminds me that she will be home soon - and she gives me the best hugs ever.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
I am very adept at using my paw to drink with. I feel it is a more ladylike way to behave - plus the fact that it impresses Merlin - he tried it once but he lost his balance and fell face first into the water. Ha.

What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
Well its something i´m not very proud of. I told Merlin he wasn´t a real cat and that we were going to buy him a hutch to live in - like the rabbits we have. I must admit I felt a bit mean when he started to panic - so I said if he would fetch food for me I would see what I could do about it. - I know you are thinking how could I, but you don´t have to put up with him following you around and jumping out at you.

What is your greatest fear?
Hmmm I think it would be that my humans might not buy my favourite food anymore. It has to be steamed fish in a packet or crunchy cheesy treats - I tell you if they ever stopped I might think about moving out!!

Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
I respect my mum. She picked me out as a kitten and has always loved me most. I am her little princess and can do no wrong even if I growl at Merlin. I respect her for this and hope I can see her soon when she comes home for the holidays.
