Okay, so most of us realize that our cats have specific job talents other than just eating, bathing & shedding, right?

We've always known that Mac was some sort of Security Agent. I think he might even be in the Secret Service - a Cat In Black!


This morning it finally dawned on me what Grace's extra talent is - drawing blood! She can't be a nurse because she lacks any kind of tender bed-side manner. But, boy, can she create punctures in human flesh.


So, what are your cat's special talents? Inquiring minds want to know!!


Oh, and in case you're interested, Emma's our reigning Beauty Queen.

One of my babies, Edgar, is really a racoon! He eats anything - ANYTHING - edible, and has proven himself a pro at ripping though cereal boxes, even sealed ones. And he has no front claws! So, I don't know what human job he would have, but he seems to be fitting the racoon bill quite nicely.

I say to him, "if I had wanted a racoon, I would have bought one..." He didn't even eat tuna when he was younger!

Oh, no!
Does he feel compelled to rinse his food off in the water dish before he eats it?

Sounds like you'll be stocking up on Rubbermaid storage products. . .
(Grace is just as bad. I have to keep unopened bags of cat food in the car. We keep our cereal on top of the 'fridge.)

W/ the best cats
Let's see...
QT would be a gardener. She loves to dig holes outside. And plant (you know what)

Wawa is very inquisitive and not afraid to experiment with new finds. So I guess a scientist?

Skinny definitely belongs in show business, particularly on a Broadway stage!

Joji is enjoying her retirement pension.

My new kitten Pixie, is defintely has a talent for getting in the most unusual places...she's like the Indiana Jones of the house. We come home to find her in the most hard to get places, or just hanging off something...


Pepper on the other hand can just walk into a place and "own" it in the span of an hour, I don't know what kind of talent that could be
Like when we moved in with a friend of ours, she had this HUGE dog and within an hour Pepper has this massive dog cowed, scared of her and our roomate totally caterting to her every whim (and she was a big cat fan either)..I have no idea how she does it!!


Between the two of them our household is never boring.

Joshua would be some sort of supervisor. He loves to watch over me while I'm studying. He doesn't interfere or help in any way. Just watches to make sure I do my work.
He's also a door man (always comes to the door when I get home) and supplies the background music all day long.

Kinah is a professional alarm clock. She makes sure I don't sleep too much by making as much noise as possible at 5am every morning.
She also hoped for a career as a food shreder (especially bread) but I put a stop to it by storing my bread in the cupboard.

Ah, yes. No rinsing food though. For a while there he was dropping his toys in the water dish...fortunately that stopped.

Here's another one...Noble, one of our rescues, is called "kitty 911" because he is so concerned with the well being of my hubby and I, and of the other cats. He hears a loud meow or crying or whatever, he comes running, and will literally fawn over you until you stop making that noise! One time, I was bawling and Dave was sitting next to me. Noble comes running up and starts trilling in my face, and looking at dave like "what did you do to her?"

I'd call him a Social worker. "What's wrong honey?"

I think Cupid would be model/philanthropist because he loves getting his picture taken and he has a kind, caring heart and loves people. He might be a therapist on the side, too.

Tiggie'll play the guitar while Petals dances. Bailey can just look cute to elicit sympathy. That leaves Trixie to tend to the money.

Opie is a birdwatcher. He spends hours, sitting at windows and doors, watching birds.

Rowdy is an opera singer. She is, by far, the most vocal of my cats.

Buddy is a throw pillow. 'Nuff said.

Ophelia is our little nurse. Always has been. She has excellent bedside manner.
And she will barely leave your side if you are sick. We always know if we are really ill or if it's just a passing thing by how Ophelia reacts to us.

Trent is a little harder to pin down. Maybe a gigilo? He's such a lap ****!

Sunny would have to definitely qualify for Bunny Impersonation. Her fur has the EXACT feel of a rabbit's fur...and she's a VERY bouncy little girl.

I think Hobbes would have to be a male model/actor. He's absolutely adorable, and so GOOD at puttin on the charm when it suits him. He would also make a good counselor...he's very sympathetic when he knows someone's upset/crying. He'll FORCE you to pet him and won't leave you alone until you've stopped crying.
