Drama Queen - Lion Spawn

did I ever tell you about the time....?
So Tom's quite the drama queen - he has a look (you know - like Zoolander's Look in Zoolander)
it's the hungry-I am starving-will you feed me?- look. He sucks it all in, and stands by his food bowl. Or he greets me at the door and scratches the rug, rubs against my legs, then lies down at my feet as though he is on his last dregs of energy... the term I used when growing up was - "as though his belly is touching his back". although he still has enough energy to meow continuously at my door or trip me up on the way to the food tin....
Ah Tom - the drama queen.

After feeding however, it must be said that he takes on quite a different appearance - he stalks about haughtily or maybe spreads out - taking up as much bed or rug as he possibly can. At times like these we wonder if perhaps our cat has been spawned by a lion - as he roams the roost with a kingly gaze.
