The Fortress of Catitude

Pierre: Look what I’ve got! It’s better than a box, because it’s more comfortable on top. The humans were talking about putting this in the car, but it’s mine now.

Newton: Oh, wow, that’s pretty cool, Pierre. It looks really comfortable inside. What a perfect bachelorcat pad.

Pierre: And it’s mine. Don’t think about getting your orange fur in my fortress of cattitude.

Newton: This isn’t a fortress. And you don’t have a way with the ladies, so you don’t need a bachelorcat hangout.

Pierre: What do you mean? 

Newton: Well the ladies all love an orange cat. You’re just gray, so you don’t need to have a place to entertain them.

Pierre: Don’t even think about bringing your ladyfriends into the fortress of catitude!

Newton: HEY!

Pierre: We’ll see how much they like your orange fur with a little bit of it pulled out right here.

Newton: You don’t have to get so rough. Geez!

Pierre: First you stole my status as youngest cat. Then you stole everyone’s hearts online. Then this morning, you stole my breakfast. You are not stealing my fortress.

Newton: You have issues, Pierre.

Pierre: So do you get the picture? No orange cats allowed.

Newton: Why are you making the funny faces and airplane ears? Can’t we just work out a time-sharing agreement or something?

Pierre: Who’s the cat in the fortress? I’m the cat in the fortress!

Newton: I’m not even sure what just happened here. Seriously.

    Heh. I just hope that “fortress” isn’t headed to the vet for a check up! Watch out for wayward thermometers!

    Oh you silly silly boys, there’s probably room enough for both! However, not enough room for smacky paws in there.. Newton, perhaps discretion is the better part of valor here..

    Pierre sure seems to think his fortress is prime real estate, Newton. Maybe you ought to just let him have this one…

    That fortress is super cool as long as it stays in the house and doesn’t mean a trip to the vet.

    OMC HILARIOUS!! Pierre just for the record, gray cats are exquisitely handsome in a more subtle way. They don’t need the brash orange that those orange cats have! Gray cats are classy and I bet the ladycats LOVE YOU! xoxo

    pierre; purrsonally I think you are quite handsome and while tiny houses are THE
    lastest rage; I’d check on the rental options of your fortress before calling it… home
    …… just in case it can only be rented while en route to the ~~~~~ v.e.t.

    Your fortress looks like strangely like a travel bag… Do you have an appointment with the V-E-T soon ? Purrs

    Are you sure that is a fortress? Hope it’s just getting aired out and no one’s going on a car trip soon.

    We hope you can share the fortress! Devi is the one who does all the “whap-ing” around here.

    It sounds like you better let Pierre have this one, Newton! He’s pretty serious about it. Those airplane ears speak volumes. Who knows? Maybe there will be something more your style coming in the future.

    Pierre, a fortress sounds very intriguing. Little brothers can be so bothersome, can’t they? I hope your fortress only brings you fun and comfort and not a vet visit!

    Good job defending your fortress Pierre. I have a lot of lady cats that would love to spend time with you.

    That totally looks like a PTU to us. But Astrid likes to hang out in our PTU, so we do understand. Hope there were no further smacky paws. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    Newton is a handsome mancat but I think Pierre is the cat’s meow! ♥ ♥ Plus, he did call dibs! MOL! MOL!

    Hey, I like gray cats but you really don’t want to go into that, er, fortress. Trust me you don’t.

    Pierre, I think it wise of you to claim the fortress. It looks very safe and comfy.
