Best Pet: Shysmom25's sleepy furball Charlie

Topic: Best Pets
This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Shysmom25 of Fort Rucker, AL. Meet her sleepy friend, Charlie!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Shysmom25 says, "This is my baby cat Charlie. We got him when we were stationed in Germany when he was only 8-weeks-old. He is now a VERY SPOILED 5-year-old cat. He is very picky when it comes to attention and only takes affection when he wants it. He weighs 18 pounds but the vet says that he is a very happy healthy kitty. His dad was a Norewegian Forest cat and his mom was a persian. He loves it when we turn the water on in the bathtub or sink so he can drink water and for whatever reason WILL NOT drink water out of a bowl. I hope y'all enjoy seeing him sleeping because that is what he does 95% of the time! We love him dearly whether asleep or awake."

Topic: Members

Congratulations to Gamesviller Pollymaytx750900 of Sherman, TX, who hit a BIG jackpot playing CatchUp CoverAll TODAY and took home $445 in cold hard cash!

Useless Fact!

General Sherman was a key leader in the Texas Army during the 1836 Texas Revolution and afterwards in the newly established Republic of Texas. Sherman led his troops at the Battle of San Jacinto, and his men are generally credited as being the first to utter the famous warcry, "Remember the Alamo!" and the somewhat less famous, "Remember Goliad!"

Best Pet: Darcyann661's inseparable pair Meatloaf & Baldy

Topic: Best Pets
This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Darcyann661 of Walkerton, IN. Meet her clingy companions, Meatloaf and Baldy!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Darcyann661 says, "This is my Pit Bull Meatloaf enjoying a nap with her best friend, my cat Baldy. When Baldy was born Meatloaf took the litter of kittens and hid them several times. We would search high and low for them almost everyday and if we got close to them she would growl. Baldy's mother died two weeks after giving birth to her kittens due to complications and that's when Meatloaf took over being mom to Baldy for the next nine years. Baldy's meow sounds like 'MOM' and whenever Meatloaf heard it she would go and check on her little friend. Everywhere Meatloaf went Baldy was not far behind. They truly loved each other unconditionally and it was just amazing to watch a dog who had never been around a cat in her entire life take on the role of being an over protective mother."
