Nice dots!

OMG! What a cutie! :)

Did you see this on boingboing yesterday? Talk about a knitting shout out...

Laurie, Do you have a Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure? Because you need one.

We got the purple Dyson and it is amazing!

How do you tolerate all that cutenss in your house! He's adorable! And what an early post this morning! Are you at work already?

awwwww....

Amy, indeed.

Next year I'm taking vacation at Christmas-New Year's time. I say that every year... but next year it's going to happen.

Thank you for making me feel normal. I may have more recent photos of my three furry children than of my young adult human offspring.

You should definitely plan on an end of 2007 vacation. This is the first year that I am off between Christmas and New Years and it's very refreshing! I hope that I'll actually be looking forward to going back to the office next week - right now I'm still very much enjoying being on the couch in my pajamas with a cat wedged between my lap top and my breasts! :)

Oh, polka dots are SO his color! And a Crazy Aunt Purl Action Figure? GREAT idea, Liza!!! It should some with four miniature cats, four miniature double sided food/water bowls, and several teeny tiny skeins of cool colored yarn! Look out Barbie, Ken's got his eye on this one!

I think I am in love..........

love, love, love the Roy! hope he is feeling better

Awwwww.

I should be doing what he's doing.

PROOF of the connection between cat cuteness and diabetes. I mean, how can a person surrounded by sweetness NOT need insulin injections?
As for the Crazy Cat Lady Action figure that Liza mentioned (and I'm sure she knows this, so this is for those of you that aren't in the loop) this is an actual on-the-shelf product, produced by the same company that makes Beethoven and Librarian Action Figures. I'm serious. So fantastic that when my pet sitter saw mine she begged for several sets for herself.
Just sayin'. I don't own stock in the company or anything.

The Soba may rule with an iron paw, but the cuteness of the Roy can conquer all! (Is she paying him?)

Awwwwwww.... I know it's been said but... CUTE!

I think he needs a tummy massage too!

Is it wrong to want to marry Roy? He is so cute and we could cuddle :)

Smoogles for baby Roy.

(If you're at work, who is doing his bidding?)

Man the life of a cat!!

Maybe a lemon slice in the water? Just sayin'. (Besides they scoot across the floor really well and sometimes they blend in and you can watch the silly human trick.)

He's so stylish. Pamper away....

Excellent decor - I like that pillow! - and Roy is adorable, as usual. ;)

Duh duh duh duh dot's all, folks!

Roy

I would be a slave to Roy! lol - what inky said, marry Roy!

I love, love, love cats under covers. I am weak from the cuteness.

Sweet Roy! And I love that pillow; hope you don't mind if I make one, because I love it.

I won't look as cute lounging on it as Roy does, though. :)

Typical guy, but soooo much cuter!

Roy is just the cutest thing on four legs.

That is just too cute!

All Hail King Roy.

Your cats are so cute!I still havent seen my cats in the cat house I bought them, but I did see my 3 y/o in it. How do you get your cats to pose like that? Mine run from the camera!

Roy!!! So! Cute!

Is he really under the cover or does it just look like it? Mine won't get under covers.

All I want to know is does the thread count matter to him? And if so, what is the lowest he will consider?

Too cute

Awwww...now that's the life! We should all be so lucky.

Roy sure knows how to live it up. :D

I wish I was doing that instead of working right now. *sigh*

Of course as I am commenting on your blog right now I guess that means I am not doing well with focusing on work eh. *L*

This is a terrible video. Don't look...

..made me laugh

Oh, that's just too cute for words.

O-KAY. Geeeze. Guess yer gonna have to keep him.

You need to send Roy in for a feature in Cuteoverload.com. He'd be a smash!

The Archie McPhee website sells the Crazy Cat Lady action figures:

(And they even have cat-themed shower curtains!)

And bacon? Roy needs bacon too!

Roy makes me melt.

Can't stand it. Must smootch the paw-paws.

Oh! He breaks my heart, that Roy.

Such a honey that Roy...

How darling.

I read your blog all the time, but for the life of me could not remember if you posted '6 Weird Things About You". I'm a new blogger and if it's OK - YOU'RE TAGGED!
(Had to do it this way - you'd never find me otherwise :-)

Definitely needs an agent!

Roy is so handsome - now go and get him some bacon!!

Hi Laurie - I've been out of sync, email etc. and so I assume that I missed Roy's diagnosis, tho I guessed it, feline diabetes. My dear Sir Thomi had diabetes. And he and I did the usual injections. Sir Thomi was reluctant at first, but knew that his 'mom knew best'. I do hope that 'Sir Roy' will adjust to whatever his luv-mum administers. And, he is still one of the most handsome, elegant gents I've ever viewed. My departed Thomi would agree, as would my elegent new diva, Sheldon from Sitka (a mere brat at 6+yrs.) Enjoy every day - be happy and compassionate, please? Bye from Audie.

Showed the picture to my GiGi and she now has a crush on Roy. Considering the way she treats her 3 boy-cat housemates, though, I'd advise Roy to go for one of the human admirers instead!

did i miss something? roy has diabetes?

This is my first visit to your blog and I just wanted to say I enjoyed the read, especially looking at your cats, so cute. I hope 2007 is everything you need it to be.

Awwwwwwww

I don't think Roy actually has diabetes, it sounded like Sally was describing the chance of feline sweetness inducing diabetes in their humans. But I could be wrong...

Sue F's got it right.

Can it get any cuter? ;)

Roy & CO. could easily have their own reality TV show....they already have such a HUGE fan base!
Roy is the essence of catness and cuteness!

what a looker! and it looks like he has mastered the art of lounging. my two cats could give lessons on that also.

Laurie, just de-lurking to tell you that I have been thinking about your not posting for the last week or so - Ha! Happy holidays to you and the cat posse. ALSO, yesterday I found a new CD by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. I swear, Grace is your long lost sister! So I had to buy it. It is sort of country, folk, bluesy. A couple of the songs grab you right away, and others I think may grow on me. Okay, Toby (black & white - the "baby" 6 year old cat) just had to jump up here to say hi. I am on vacation this week, and I have not gotten dressed today because...

aw, poor little man. lots of love to Roy, and all the cats in yer household. But especially to Roy.

I'm not sure which I'm more captivated by - the darling, debonair kitty or the fab blanket and throw pillow!

Hi!

Well, Roy doesn't have diabetes though he is so sweet he could give it to you ;)

I know ya'll followed us through the many months, the saga of "Who Will Diagnose Roy Next?" and all the doctor's visits and so on. He is a million dollar feline!! LOL

Finally we do know what's going on with him. Roy has a "growth" behind his nasal cavity, and it is inoperable, you can see from the picture his little cro-magnun man forehead has grown a bit. It puts pressure on his nose so that is why he gets breathing issues, but for right now it's still somewhat in check and he's fine and doesn't seem to be in pain.

He's such a trooper. My little Roy.

So glad you finally know what's going on with Roy. It's easier to cope and lay out your plan attack when you know what it is you're dealing with.

P.S. Thought I should tell you: Your post months ago about France in your pants has totally stuck in my head all these months. When my friend married a French dude, I said to her "So you've got France in your pants." France in your pants, France in your pants, France in your pants!!

such a cutie :0)
