The Misanthrope's hounds, from L-R, Darbie, Dreamer and Derry. 2 Irish Setters and an Irish Red & White Setter. Darbie & Derry are 10 years old and are siblings. Dreamer is 2.

Our first cat submission today comes from Bob. "Our cat had a headache and told us he's taking a sick day. No cat stuff today. I'm not buying it...I think he's faking, but how can I tell?"

Sick? We aren't sure but it looks totally abused. ;)

From Kristi, a long time lurker.
"Long time lurker (since W was up for re-election against Kerry - 2004?!) and a few comments here and there over the years. All shelter babies, rescues, and one stray who showed up 5 years ago and never left. Sadly, Emme, in the top left corner, passed away a few days before Thanksgiving this year from cancer but didn't feel right leaving her out. Merry Christmas from my pack to yours!"

Our timing is a little off. But, IMHO it's never too late to wish someone a Merry Christmas. Thanks for the wonderful card.

Here's a handsome cat photo of B-Boy submitted by PJ.

"I lost him a couple of years ago but he was the best. He adopted me: snuck into my house one day, went to sleep on my bed, and refused to leave. Had a happy ten years together, with him as my protector and me as his everything. If you are wondering how the vet got the posed shot? Drugs. When the cat is still subdued after anesthesia, he snaps a picture. Marketing genius.Best,PJ"

We received this from Joe. We aren't sure if it's true or not. But here is what he said about his cat. "My cat known as Kitty. What he says is true."

This is what Goldilocks says about her dog, Daisy. Meet Daisy. Obsessed with tennis balls, swimming, snow, Milkbones and cheese. And getting lots of love and attention. Textbook Golden Retriever. It’s her world, I just live in it."

Hate to break it to you Goldilocks, that's the case with most dogs here at the AoSHQ.

A few weeks back, the dog photos were numerous. We put out a challenge to the cat owners. Well, they have taken the up the challenge and the cat photos are coming in fast and furious. Thanks Cat Morons.

Rounding up this weeks PetMorons are these 3 cats.

Here is the story of these characters.

"
One pic features my gray tabby cat Jasmine cuddling up with Kaylee the Calico Kitty Cat (a.k.a. "the Whisper Kitty," "Little Miss Walrus Whiskers," and "the Kaylee Monster").

The other pic features my black cat Penny (short for "Penumbra" as she is technically only mostly black--there are a few white hairs on her chest and a tuft of white fur on her lower belly).

Interesting fact--of all three cats, only one was NOT rescued from inside of a vehicle (it's Jasmine). Kaylee was found trapped inside of the engine of a vehicle someone was trying to sell. It took 45 minutes to pull her out of the engine. Penny was found hiding in the wheel well of a four-wheeled vehicle used for transporting computers and such around the campus where I work. A student worker dropped her on my desk and said, "Would you like a cat?" I brought home Jasmine from the local shelter to give Penny some company. Kaylee was rescued a year later...

Enjoy!
