Naughty Boy or Misunderstood?

I grabbed my bottle of orange Powerade, stretched my fingers and sat down to write. Within minutes my cat Bandit (who is better than my daughter's stupid cat any day) came up to my chair and did what he does best; stole my heart.

 

Beth(my daughter) hates Bandit because he stalks and antagonizes her dumb cat, Pepper. Pepper is 15 and can't defend herself?? Please! I watched her dis-embowel a mouse in 3 seconds.

 

Look at these pictures and you tell me if you think bandit is a naughty boy or a sweet misunderstood soul?

*Ah, Mom do you have to write, right now??

 

fileId:3096224743844532;size:full;

 

*I just want to be loved

 

fileId:3096224743844531;size:full;

 

*Yeah, yeah scratch my ears!!

*Just gonna snooze, you go ahead and wait

*You lookin' at me??

Oh, Mandi.

Lovely. I could almost hear the purring. Definetly misunderstood.

Bandit looks like a sibling for our cat Zoe. I'll have to pull out her photogenic side and snap some for sharing.

Thanks. Totally sweet!

Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates complained that they couldn't be held accountable for their actions, being orphans they'd never received proper moral guidance. So, Bandit comes from a good home, is well cared for, is nurtured. So whoever NAMED HIM is to blame!!!

And exactly what is wrong rith being a Naughty Boy?

Great pix

This is great. Made me smile ear to ear! And what a beautiful kitty!
Richard Frisbie Apr 14, 2006, 1:44pm EDT
Wait a minute! is he in your lap?
DEFINITELY a Naughty Boy!
Cute, too!
Bandit looks like my cat Simba!!! Naughty, yes, and I think Richard needs a little scratching behind HIS ears.
Richard Frisbie Apr 14, 2006, 1:52pm EDT
YES! I still need that flea bath Ed was talking about in his Vet story!
thanks everyone. I knew you would all see Bandit's sweet side ;-)

ps.
when he was a kitten he would steal my bras from my drawers and sleep with them. Hence "Bandit"
Edward Nudelman Apr 14, 2006, 2:00pm EDT
Definitely a naughty boy.... but then, what more could ask for?
Yeah, I always fell for the naughty boys..
Stephen Schneider Apr 14, 2006, 2:11pm EDT
Cats always have a sweet side. Even if it's a facade.
Faith H. Apr 14, 2006, 2:16pm EDT
says Stephen, who does dogs :-) Mandi, totally a charmer of a cat, and the bra thing! funny.
Cheryl W. Apr 14, 2006, 2:40pm EDT
Such a darling....and yes, a naughty boy.......
well that's 5 naughty and 2 misunderstood...

see I told you he is misunderstood!
Linda Douglas Apr 14, 2006, 3:01pm EDT
He is definitely misunderstood. A real charmer and a man who knows how to woo a woman. I can do one better on the bra story - My boy, Lincoln, loves to break into the cabinet under the bathroom sink and pull out the feminine napkins, remove them from the wrappers and toss them around the house. I never bring anyone home without going in ahead to check out the situation.
Linda that is too funny!!!

Heather, it is a bit early to be drunk! Kidding! ;-)

Your kitty looks like a relative of my kitty. They also act very much the same.
Jenny L. Apr 14, 2006, 3:53pm EDT
Naughty boys are more fun!
donna f. Apr 14, 2006, 3:57pm EDT
Yep, she is the spittin' image of our Zoe. Too Precious!
0000-doublel-0000 Apr 14, 2006, 4:37pm EDT
He's a naughty boy but in a good way :).
Rushmore J. Apr 14, 2006, 4:51pm EDT
My heart goes out to Pepper. I know the type of cat Bandit is, they look so vulnerable and innocent and as soon as you turn your back they're beaing up the old folks. Poor Pepper, Naughty Bandit!
Jenny - when can we meet!
Carl Neeld Apr 14, 2006, 5:09pm EDT
It's easy to see who's in charge at your house.
thanks everyone. I guess the majority rules... Bandit is naughty...

Don't tell my daughter, I'll never hear the end of it!
Cheryl C. Apr 14, 2006, 5:49pm EDT
The camera is certainly a good friend to Bandit. He is obviously a charmer, but I have a feeling he's more than familiar with your mouse. I'll bet when you're not around, he's on-line shopping for cat toys.
Chris Burnett Apr 14, 2006, 5:52pm EDT
Looks like a sweet devil in disguise! Chris Burnett
Jenny L. Apr 14, 2006, 6:46pm EDT
Rush-
I would have to send the Kowboy on a cattle drive....
thanks everyone!
Chris, my daughter says the same thing! He doesn't have her fooled either!

Jenny... LOLOLO!!
Emil,

It amazes me what good little killers cats are!
It seems to be the year of the cat!

Magi
tee hee;-)
Rushmore J. Apr 15, 2006, 3:13pm EDT
"Head 'em up, ride 'em out, get those doggies moving, rawhide." Yahoo. (See now I've blown it by giving away my age!)
ooook....

rushmore are you a cowboy in disguise?
Kathryn E. Apr 15, 2006, 7:36pm EDT
Definitely a misunderstood naughty boy!! He is a CAT, therefore he is NAUGHTY at the computer. I speak from experience, here.
thanks kathryn ;-)
Yasser Shahin Apr 16, 2006, 4:23pm EDT
You either Noughty or boring.
Either way, you will be minunderstood
I LOVE being Noughty too, :)
