\"\"<\/a>In order for me to look so effortlessly ready for the camera, it takes at the very least, some hot rollers to the hair, a modest amount of makeup, some leopard cat ears, and a really talented fiance to take the picture. For cats, especially the ever charming and wide eyed, Peanut and Mia, it is a mere matter of standing atop a pedestal to look completely stunning\u00a0so that they may pay tribute to\u00a0this quote by the\u00a0 late Lilian Jackson Braun.<\/p>\n

The thing is, when Dan took this photo, he did not artfully place the cats on the pedestal, posed in perfect\u00a0composition with the trailing ivy\u00a0background. No, all he did was see them together, grab the camera, keep his fingers crossed they hadn’t jumped down yet, and snap the shot. If it were me, he would still be telling me to “move a bit to the left.”\u00a0 Or is it, move to the right? Oh never mind, now the sun has moved and the lighting is terrible…<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Lilian Jackson Braun (June 20, 1913 \u2013 June 4, 2011) was an American writer, well known for her light-hearted series of “The Cat Who…” mystery novels. The “Cat Who” books center around the life of former newspaper reporter, James Qwilleran, and his two Siamese cats, KoKo and Yum Yum, in the fictitious small town of Pickax located in Moose County “400 miles north of everywhere.” Although never formally stated in her books, the towns, counties and lifestyles described in the series are generally accepted to be modeled after Bad Axe, Michigan, where Braun resided with her husband until the mid-1980s.<\/span>\u00a0(Wikipedia)<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
