I don't see a problem with that. I really don't. He is far too good looking to have to obey.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Feline Friday. ☺
Yes, he's good looking, and by his expression I think he knows it.
ReplyDeleteOur cats disobey all the time... it's like their job.
ReplyDeleteLucy loves sitting on our table too! She wants to be with us!
ReplyDeleteToby is just like that, he's quite sure the rules apply only to his sisters and most certainly not to him! He tends to take Papa Bear's voice a bit more seriously than mine, typical of most children. :-)
ReplyDeleteIn truth, he IS too good looking to have to obey! lol Have a great weekend. :)
