The vet said so! I took them for a (quite belated) well cat visit and their shots yesterday, and she said they were the best kitties. In fact, she called Dewey “perfect” and said that “They’re healthy and nice. I hardly ever see that - either they’re nice and there’s something wrong with them, or they’re healthy and mean.” I just wanted you guys to know that I have the best kitties, so it stands to reason that you do not. I hope that time will give you the strength to accept your inferior kitties. That is all. ---

I dare you to go to [this guy’s house](http://misty69stuff.blogspot.com/2008/02/attack-cat-some-years-ago-friend-of.html) and tell him you have the best kitties. (He’d probably agree with you, actually, but the cat might not). ---

[Ariel](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/141/365121251_bf7cadf9bc.jpg) would like to point out that even though she may be insulin deficient, she makes up for it in the [adorable department](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/126/357738617_f72663944c.jpg) and could whup your kitties’ bums at a kitty beauty contest thanks to her diabetically-enhanced slender frame.

Katya is good at the vet’s (she doesn’t freak out, just sniffs around and explores the room). She is the softest cat ever, as well. Luna… well, Luna makes the vets get out those big elbow-length gloves. She generally doesn’t swipe or bite, but she does hiss and growl a lot. ---

Since a couple of mine had to start fighting last night as I was trying to fall asleep and started back up this morning I will agree with you. Mine are not the best but they’re mine and I love them … most of the time. ---

My kitties are NOT the best kitties. I adore them, but Punky eats too much and talks too much. Rio is mean to Molly, and is grumpy if you wake him. Molly is _almosts_ perfect, but still manages to cheese me off occasionally. Besides, she loves Himself best (Punky loves me best, and Rio is fairly aloof, until he wants lovin’s, then anyone is fair game.) 😛 (But they’re the BEST kitties for me. 🆒 ) ---

If you guys need more proof (and I must admit that no pictures really show their personalities, or even how beautiful they are… well, how beautiful Dewey is, Eddles looks kind of stupid) here are a few pictures. [Edison](http://www.flickr.com/photos/62555962@N00/2279443835/) on his back - what you can’t tell here is that he’s a big cat and getting bigger, and he puts your legs to sleep when he demands belly rubs like this. [Edison](http://www.flickr.com/photos/62555962@N00/2279442537/in/photostream/) on top of the TV, where he likes to sit and try to catch the people in the shows we’re trying to watch. [Dewey](http://www.flickr.com/photos/62555962@N00/2280230450/) rolling around on top of the cabinets, where Edison can’t follow him. [Dewey’s](http://www.flickr.com/photos/62555962@N00/2279441465/) great trepidation when I turned on the Litter Robot for the first time. [Both of them](http://www.flickr.com/photos/62555962@N00/2279439517/in/photostream/) together, and although this is just a couple months ago Eddles is already _much_ bigger. He is destined for big-cat-hood, although his head shows no signs of getting bigger. So you can see, I have the best kitties. (But I’m not a _cat person_, I’m a Mr. Dibbles-and-Fattles person.) ---

Well, I’m sure they’re nice and all, but everyone I’ve ever had visit me wants to take either Elliot [Eliot is folded. | Michael Rapa | Flickr](http://flickr.com/photos/14445371@N08/2179062408/) or Minna [IMG\_0138.JPG | Michael Rapa | Flickr](http://flickr.com/photos/14445371@N08/2187923331/) home with them.
