Oh, Bull ...

Shirley Posing as a Bulldog - 
Shirley liked to climb into this little side table and sit with the bulldog.

... dog, that is. I was going through some old photos and found this one of when Shirley was still pretty small and thought she wanted to be a bulldog. Do you think she pulled it off?

The pom is your avatar, right? Cute! (although I don't normally like yappy little dogs underfoot). A smart hamster? That's interesting ...

That's a really cute picture! I don't think Shirley looks too much like a bulldog, though. She's very pretty!

Sometimes she acts more like a dog than a cat, though.

Almost! She just doesn't have the jowls for it, not yet, anyway... give her 10 years and maybe... No, wait, that's us humans getting jowls when we get older. Dang! Well, I think she did a splendid job! It really does look like she was trying to imitate that statue! LOL With her size and coloring, she could almost do it! She's just way prettier so she could never pull it off.

I thought it was the funniest thing when she started doing that. The coloring is definitely right, for sure.

Aw what a cutie! She probably liked the colouring of the statue. Being in close proximity to her markings and being relatively the same size as her must have made it more attractive.

I think she just wanted a cozy place to hide, and the little table fit that bill. I'm not sure if she was real keen on the company or not.

That is so funny Ldyjarhead! Your cat Shirley really does look like that Bull Dog statue! LoL! Her coloring and size are just a perfect match. That is so incredibly cute too. My cat is a calico and she is not much different looking than your Shirley... just a lot fatter! LoL

Well, she does have the posturing down, doesn't she, but I'm wondering if she has more of a chameleon complex instead - they are the same color and as long as she doesn't move, someone might not notice her there. Hiding in plain sight!! LOL Cute little girl!

It was funny to watch her in there. She did it often when she was small. Never bothered with the dog in any way, just would crawl all over in the little table. I think it was more the idea of crawling into something than it was the dog.

Ah she is really adorable! That is such a precious shot of her! Did she do that often? She's a beautiful cat! It's really funny how she does look like she's trying to be a bulldog! One of the cutest kitty pictures ever! Thanks for sharing!

She did it quite often when she was smaller. It was harder to fit in there well when she got bigger, but she did occasionally.

Shirley did a very good impersonation of a bulldog, if I was blind in one eye and couldn't see out the other I would swear that was two bulldogs sitting there. Very smart cat that Shirley is.

She's a great mouser and moler too, at least outside. We had all sorts of mice in the kitchen last winter and she never caught a one.

Which one's Shirley? You got a cute picture there, Ldyjarhead and a pretty cat! Now I hope you don't get those two confused.

I know it's hard to tell, but Shirley is the one without the dogtags. They hadn't been issued yet.
