Maggie on the Balcony
First Cat
First Cat
We see that President-elect Obama has the duty of chosing a "First Dog"--and he may chose the Inca's favorite breed--The Peruvian Hairless.
That would be a very good choice and a fine political move.
Peru is pretty weird politically--I have spent enough time in that country to make that statement--but the Peruvian Hairless is a cute and interesting breed and any further good will ties with any South American countries is a Good Idea.
But NEXT we would like to see President-elect Obama select a First Cat.
OUR cat is a very good choice for us because we live in an apartment with a balcony and our next-door neighbor is a nice woman who has lived in these apartments for 18 years and she has a cat.
Her cat likes to come over to visit us almost every day--we call her (the cat) "Maggie" though that is NOT what her owner calls her--so for us she is one thing and for her proper owner, another.
A VERY GOOD THING is that she (her owner) feeds Maggie--we don't. We DO keep a dish of fresh water for her but never a scrap of food--Maggie knows this and never even begs from us.
So, Maggie is our part-time cat--and that is a good way for independent cats to be--and Maggie is quite independent.
I recommend to President-elect Obama that he get a part-time cat too since this builds good relations with neighbors and doesn't cost a thing.
