CPR 3-20-2012 CATSBY PRACTICES SPEAKING TO THE MASSES AT HIS CORONATION AS EMPEROR

Really, the title says it all.   The last photo shows Catsby pondering his greatness.

CPR RIOTOUS ASSEMBLY QUELLED

Word had reached Lady Emma's Head Pet Administration that the boys--Jay Catsby, 
Pharoah, and Darnell-- were meeting to discuss again to discuss the launch of 
their magazine, PAWBOY,  Lady Emma, as Head Pet, is also in charge of the 540 
Paddock Peace Forces, and her informants suggested there could potentially be a 
Riotous Assembly which might need to be Quelled by Lady's Forces of Reason, as 
she likes to refer to her army, navy, and marines, a/k/a Libby the Cat. So Lady 
showed up to monitor the meeting. (Photo 1) Sure enough, when Pharoah again 
floated the idea that the magazine should be renamed, this time as "PHAROAH 
ILLUSTRATED",  Jay Catsby haka chanted his disagreement,(Photo 2)  which led to 
Pharoah challenging Jay Catsby to step outside, (Oh yeah, you can't, can you? 
You're an indoor pussy, Pussy!), which of course led to the further 
in"fur"iation of Catsby (Photo 3), and nearly to a full fledged Riotous 
Assembly!  .  Fortunately, by reason of Lady Emma's prophylactic presence, she 
was able to summon her Forces of Reason,Libby, who Quickly Quelled the Riotous 
Assembly by hosing down the Boys with High Powered Hisses.

CPR 3-18-2012 BUSINESS PLAN DISCUSSED FOR NEW MAGAZINE BY PET BOYS

The boys--Pharoah, Catsby, and Darnell-- met in the upstairs bedroom/conference room earlier today, to discuss the business plan for the distribution and publication of PAWBOY MAGAZINE.  Since Pharoah's paw was to be used in the inaugural issue, he led the discussion. (Photo 1).  Midway through the meeting, Pharoah proposed changing the name of the magazine from PAWBOY to PHAROAH'S PAWBOY.  Catsby's reaction was immediate, if not predictable. (Photo 2).  Catsby then suggested that his paws be used for the inaugural issue, but Pharoah stretched out and silenced the suggestion with the sheer grandeur and sensuousness of his paw. (Photo 3)  It was then agreed that it was best for the potential magazine to put its best foot, or paw, forward, and Darnell and Catsby agreed to go forward with publication plans, provided the original name, PAWBOY, was kept, and Pharoah murmured, hey, it was only a suggestion, to help sales in Snow Bengalia, but Darnell said they wanted to sell copies of the magazine in Weepy Eyelandia, too, so PAWBOY it was.

CPR 3-16-2012 MALE CATS LAUNCH MAGAZINE--"PAWBOY"

Catsby had a great idea at breakfast today which he shared with his enterpreneurial  partner Pharoah.  (Photo 1) "Why don't we start a soft core cat's photo magazine, featuring sensuous photos of our paws?" he suggested to Pharoah.  "Let's have Darnell, with his Union College economics background, run a few numbers, and see if we can make it work, money-wise. We know there's a market.  Look at the huge number of visitors to the blog." Darnell shortly thereafter did a few rudimentary calculations, and determined it was a go."There's no reason, based on my market research" said Darnell, "That we can't parley some photos of our exquisitely created paws, in a classy full color magazine format, into paid appearances at pet food stores, grooming parlors, even those hair chewing salons run by Daisy the Cat.  We could call it 'PAWBOY MAGAZINE", maybe open up 'Pawboy Clubs', sell t-shirts, keyrings, etcetera."  Pharoah was all in favor of the idea, and suggested he pose for the first photo spread, as he clearly had the most magnificent paws (as many of our readers have commented upon). (Photo 2 and 3). "The only aspect of this that confuses me," said Catsby, " Is the selling part.  I get the t-shirt, keyring tie-ins, but what's an etcetera, and how do we sell it."  Well there are times when Catsby's lack of a formal education does handicap his business schemes, but fortunately for him, and the success of the Jay Catsby & Pharoah Publishing Company (It's Motto: All the Mews that's Fit to
Print"), they now have Darnell the Cat, with his several weeks of Union College education, to run the financial end of things.

CPR 3-15-2012 LADY EMMA AGAIN ATTEMPTS DRAMATIC MEDIATION BETWEEN HISTORICAL  ENEMIES. AGAIN. AND ANSWERS HER CRITICS, AGAIN. AND CLAIMS NOT TO BE A DUCK. AGAIN.

Encouraged by Pharoah's willingness to donate his winnings from the Eating Tournament to Libby's favorite charity, and stung by the criticism of her administration's inability to broker peace between the 540 Pets, Lady Emma, as Head Pet, had a sit down with both Pharoah and Libby, separately, of course, to try to resolve the issues between them.  First, Lady met with Pharoah, on the heels of her announcement of the Eating Tournament seeding, and gave him her best politician's smile.  (Photo 1).  Lady proposed expanding Libby's dry food eating area on the North Kitchen Counter, and pushing back the Boys' Breakfast Club counter space to the south of the De-Culinarized Zone (the so called DCZ).  Pharoah had no problem with ceding the territory, so long as Libby lifted her morning  blockade of the wet  food bowls.  Lady then took the proposal to Libby, who had no idea what lady was talking about. (Photo 2). In fairness, Pharoah had no idea either, and just said he agreed so Lady would leave him alone and let him nap. (Photo 3).  Nevertheless, Lady was encouraged, and pronounced her efforts a success, saying she had answered the critics of her domestic policy, and the nay sayers that insisted the continuing rift between Libby and Pharoah would doom her administration, and make her a Lame Duck Head Pet.  Said Lady:  " I don't walk like a duck, I don't quack like a duck, hence, I am not a duck".
