This is Waffles looking at his image on the Mike’s Harder can for “Mad Kitty Cocktail.” If you haven’t tried it out you should… it’s similar to a glass of spiked apple cider and would be a great cocktail to serve for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Photo by Glogirly.com.<\/p><\/div>\n

In continuing coverage of my BarkWorld\/MeowWorld Cat Writers\u2019 Conference experience, one of the more entertaining moments was finally meeting bona-fide cat celebrity, Waffles. Waffles was on site with his human, Debbie Glovatsky (aka Glogirly<\/a>) to host a party in his honor as a result of him being chosen to be the feline spokes face for Mike\u2019s Harder Lemonade \u201cMad Kitty Cocktail.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bypassing all the press, security, and proper protocol, I stopped by his room for an up-close and personal visit prior to the mayhem and pawparazzi that was bound\u00a0to ensue later on in the night from his throngs of fans wanting a pawtograph from this handsome golden boy. With his new-found fame, I was expecting typical bad boy Hollywood behavior\u00a0but I have to say what I witnessed up-close and personal was shocking to say the least…<\/p>\n

Check it out for yourself…<\/p>\n

Upon entry into the room (the security was quite lax – it seems all I needed to do was look like a cat\u00a0for backstage entrance) I immediately sat down to meet Waffles eye to eye so as to put him at ease. He sniffed me like any cat worth its salt\u00a0would to determine if I was friend or foe and thankfully I passed his friendship test and he let me stay.<\/p><\/div>\n

I had thought I had passed the test, but I soon found out Waffles had something else on his mind… apprehending my extra set of cat ears…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"5-Waffles\"<\/a>

He was polite about it at first, gently grabbing the ears from my grip…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"2-Waffles\"<\/a>

What seemed like fun soon turned unexpectedly physical as Waffles became adamant with me that I must relinquish my ears to him…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"6-Waffles\"<\/a>

With all the ears surrendered, including the one’s I was wearing, Waffles turned his charm on me and became a pile of furry love-bug mush as he flirted with me to pet him…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"7-Waffles\"<\/a>

Not the best picture, but despite the blurriness, the evidence is clear… this bad-boy Mad Kitty Cocktail cat was nothing but a sweetheart…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"4-Waffles\"<\/a>

And just like that, as if it never happened, I put my ears back on and Waffles walked away, possibly needing to use the litter box, or maybe looking for treats on the floor…<\/p><\/div>\n

A special thank you to Lisa Richman of A Tonk’s Tail<\/a> – she was rooming with Debbie and was kind enough to take the the pictures of Waffles and I!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
