Cookie Boy - Watch Cat

Cat on patrol. Cookie Boy winks at the press.

An unidentified bat that had wandered into Teecup Limited headquarters met an untimely demise this week. 

There were no blood stains, bite marks and  other physical evidence to suggest that a fight had ensued, said the cat on guard.

"The thing just froze to death," disclosed Cookie Boy. 

The only masculine member of teecup's pack of non-pedigree cats was on patrol when he discovered the body.

He denied attacking the bat and said that he found the corpse after chasing roaches. 

"As much as I would like to take credit for the kill, I'm not a bat slayer," the cat said.

Though docile to humans, Cookie Boy is notorious for his hunting prowess in the animal world. 

Cookie Boy - Drunken Master

Drunken master mode. Like women, cats can be very moody. This is Cookie Boy's laziest pose ever. He's stuffed. He doesn't want to play nor hunt. He just wants to sleep. When the cat is on drunken master mode, I get the chance to carry on with my writing projects with minimal breaks.

Cookie Boy - Resident Fat Cat

In celebration of the Love Month, my regular blog entries on freelance writing will make way for another soft spot in my heart: my non-pedigree cats. 

Meet Cookie Boy, my portly golden nugget. He was neutered at age 1 and has since then been a certified house cat. He loves to eat, sleep and snuggle.

People say he looks a lot like Puss in Boots in "Shrek."

Cats and Writers and the Great Connect

What's the connection between cats and writers?

Pet owners are perhaps one of the happiest people in the planet. Numerous reports suggest that sharing your home with a pet makes you a healthier, more loving, more secure and more sociable person. For many writers, your level of success with pet ownership and a freelance writing career online primarily boils down to one question: Does your pet match your lifestyle?

Notwithstanding the fact that I am a woman and that I freelance full time (and study full time), I readily cast my vote in favor of the Felis domesticus. A personal check on my lifestyle reveals that cats are the perfect companions for freelance writers. Here's my take on why cats and writers go together:
