Kevin's parents, Jack and Fern, belong to Reilly the cat. We visited Jack and Fern recently while staying at Reilly's house. Thanks, ReillyCat! Reilly deigned to allow a photo session. This first one doesn't show his true essence. Some people to whom I showed our travel pictures thought Reilly looked a bit thug-like. I have to agree that he does look rather imposing here; rather rough around the edges.
Now, Reilly is a bossy critter. He is also, dare I say it, more than a little spoiled. So, he's used to getting his way. At his age (17) and after his health issues (respiratory, diabetic history, kidney issues) he's entitled. He's delighted to sit on your lap, provided you sit in the appropriate chair. He's delighted to receive a proper brushing, provided you don't try to brush his belly. He's happy to sleep with you, provided you move your head out of the way. He tolerates other cats, provided they don't actually exist. He is most excellent company. And there's no doubting his majesty. This picture more accurately conveys his magnificence.
