Simon's Shakedown Technique

Mom: So every time I sit down to eat, I have to contend with Simon & his persuasive shakedown technique...

First he stares at me & meows, then he flops down next to me with this face - 

Next he rolls around looking really cute - 

If that doesn't work, he gets up & flops down next to me on the other side - (sorry, the lighting wasn't too good)

*sigh* Finally I give in & give him a little piece of chicken...  

But then, the other carnivores in the house are alerted - 

Nico: What'cha Eatin'??

Cat Butt

Nico: This is the view Mom has to deal with ALL the time...

Subtle Message

I think the boys are telling me it's time to turn on the heat...

Mom's Sick Today

Nico: Mom?  What - You're not feeling well?

Ok, I'll rest with you...  *snore*

ps. We are back - in a limited capacity.  We were hollering at our Mom so much 'cause we couldn't visit that she FINALLY gave in...  Yay!!
