Mirror Mirror on the Wall...
Hey! Rolz here! Since this magnificent image is of ME, who better to talk about it than myself?! This guy, Fernand Mery, sure knew his stuff. Cats and lions, yeah, we kinda go together and I think my handsome and regal profile really shows off my resemblance to the King of the Jungle. If I could read, I’d tell you more about this brilliant guy. Actually, that’s not true. I’m quite a lazy boy by nature and I have no aspirations to learn how to read whatsoever. Feed me, touch me occasionally, admire me always, and let me nap in peace. The human can tell you about this guy if she wants to enlighten you with her ability to grab information from Wikipedia.
Okay, Deb here! Since Rolz has made his point clear, here is just a bit about Fernand Mery. Fernand Mery (1897 – 1983) was a world renowned veterinarian, author, and animal advocate from France. He wrote many books about pets, including these on cats – “The Life, History and Magic of the Cat,” “The Cat,” and “Her Majesty the Cat.” He helped to pass many laws in France for the better treatment of animals and founded several organizations such as The National Council for Animal Protection.

I had no idea he wrote a book about me, Her Majesty the Cat… Hmmm…
Chey… I can understand how this slipped by you… it has to be very difficult to keep up on everything that focuses on you!
Rolz you are regal. Male lions actually do sound a lot like you with your carefree way of life. We think you’re more handsome than a lion though! And yes, we vote for you and your other siblings every day…
Wendy – Rolz appreciates you keeping his ego in check and for voting for him and the rest of his family every day!! 🙂

Who knew indeed, meowmeowmans! We see these quotes all the time, but often don’t know who the people are they are attributed to! Vote, vote, vote… what is this, an election year?!!!
Some of us house panthers are still concerned about all those odd markings you have, but our mom says you are beautiful, and Kelly has spots and she is beautiful, so we guess she’s right!
Don’t you worry you beautiful house panther cats! In the dark, all us kitties look the same to the humans! Kelly is beautiful… and smart too!
that quote is definitely one of my faves and the photo…purrfect!
I am familiar with the quote but not the author, so thanks for the info. I guess Rolz just rolz with the waves, eh! Laid back and laid out lol. Yes we are voting 🙂 xx
Incredibly awesome, your regalness astounds us simple country cats. And the blog is absolutely beautiful.
Glad to have found you, good luck in the Petties

That is such a cute photo with the mirror. I would imagine that every housecat sees him or herself exactly that way!
Julia – I can’t speak for all cats, but in my house, you are correct!!
