CPR 3-30-2012 PHAROAH FINDS SOME SYMPATHETIC EARS, SORT OF

Pharoah was seen complaining to Kathleen about the pressure he is under to perform in the semi-finals of the Eating Tournament ("The Hunger Games") on Saturday. (photo1)    Lady Emma also sat in on what became an ad hoc counselling session.   Lady tried to offer Pharoah encouragement, and had some practical tips on wolfing down  food (as Lady, quite frankly, eats like a dog, and dogs, as we know, are descended from wolves, although Lady has long maintained she and her breed descended from royalty, King Charles, in fact, which is why she is called a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel.  Lady Emma, somewhat pedantically, turned the ad hoc counselling session into a history lesson, explaining, to everyone's disinterest, that Charles I (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649) was King of England, King of Scotland, and King of Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649. The execution, Lady noted, had less to do with King Charles's eating habits, which were prodigious, and more to do with his failure to successfully aid Protestant forces during the Thirty Years' War. This failure,  coupled with the fact that he married a Roman Catholic princess, generated deep mistrust concerning the king's dogma.  It is thIs Dogma that Lady claims to be descended from;  in fact, she called her mother, Dogma, and her grandmother, Grandma Dogma).  Of course, when Catsby found out about the counselling session, he discretely hung back, and waited until Pharoah was on the back porch, before he offered him his own advice. (Photo 3).  Catsby's advice to Pharoah was somewhat practical, if not entirely taunting: "Quit while you can, you old feline fraud! Before you embarrass yourself, the Pussies Republic of Snow Bengalia, and our Corporate Sponsor, the Jay Catsby and Pharoah the Cat Haka Karaoke Machine Manufacturing Company! "  No wonder Pharoah needs counselling.
