9/3/2012 CPR RESUMES! SPECIAL BACK TO SCHOOL EDITION

The summer is officially over, with Virginia having returned to school, and 
Dominic set to return.     So much has happenned over the course of the summer, 
that it will take the better part of a week's worth of reports to summer-ize, so 
to speak. We will start with Pharoah the Cat's summer activities.  While many of 
the pets were involved with various political activities, such as Gracie 
Sotomeow, who was under the impression that the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, 
was actually Mittens Romney, the first kitten to run for President (and who was 
under the further impression that by getting involved with Mittens, she would 
not only get to have pie, but possibly be nominated to the Highest Court in the 
Land, the 50 foot tall Refrigerator in the bomb shelter/basement in the White 
House), Pharoah was remaining true to the mounted heritage of the invading 
armies of Snow Bengalia by taking bare back riding lessons.Of course, lacking a 
proper horse to ride, Pharoah had to do his homework, and the  practicing of his 
equestrian technique, on the black leather chair in the family room.(Photo 1). 
To take his lessons, Pharoah was obliged to "pony up" the membership fee of the 
Exclusive Table Linen Shelf Club, where most afternoons during the summer he 
could be seen "Lingering on the Linen".  (See Photos 2 and 3, taken by the nosy 
Pussarazzi with their telephoto lenses through the openings in the Exclusive 
"Top Shelves" that members retire to for  personalized grooming by professional 
meow-seuses after a grueling several minutes of bare back practice). 
Fortunately, Pharoah the Cat had money saved up from the business he had 
embarked upon with Jay Catsby last fall servicing stolen, er rather, 
fortuitously found, laptops, so he was able to swing for the Exclusive Table 
Linen Shelf  Club fees.  As probably the leanest "Fat Cat" of the Club's movers 
and tail shakers,  Pharoah will no doubt in short time wind up as the Club's 
President,which might then allow him to luxuriate at the very tip top of the 
World Class Linen Shelves at the Club.  As we know, with cats, Height is Power.  
What is true about sitting on the Highest Refrigerators is also true about 
sitting on the Highest Linen Shelves -- as the motto of the Club goes-- "Summae 
potentiae est optimum felis ministerio" (To the HIghest Cat belongs the power 
and the best table service")
