Dennis Loves Bath Time

Dennis is the only cat for miles around who loves taking a bath. Dennis waits for the water to drain out, so he can rinse with clean water. Dennis is not afraid of running water or the shower thing.



Dennis thinks all the rinse water is gone now.( Sigh... )





Dennis heads for his stack of extra luxurious warm towels. No one is allowed to use the good towels except for Dennis; and human servants warm up the towels while Dennis is bathing.

Did Dennis Ever Tell You...


About the many, many jobs that Dennis has had in his ( 4.5 so far) lifetimes? Dennis never kept a job for very long. Dennis was often fired
for some vague reason called

"Attitude Problem."

Dennis was often misunderstood and never given a chance to show how good Dennis could be.

Dennis Tells All

Dennis speaks his mind while Bob is rather surprised at how much Dennis exaggerates! Dennis claims the food service has been lousy, and he hasn't been brushed and fussed over enough.
Dennis is recovering from his overgrooming disorder, but admits it is not easy. Dennis is very sensitive and when things don't go his way he reverts back to overgrooming behaviors. Dennis doesn't understand why the other cats and the humans don't do everything he says! Dennis says that Bob is the only cat he can rely on to be steadfast, while the others act like they have more important things to do than cater to Dennis. The nerve! Nothing is more important than Dennis.

Dennis is Upset

Dennis says this is not a very good picture, but it shows one part of one arm that Dennis is over-grooming. For awhile there it was completely bald, as were spots on legs , tummy and the other arm. Then it got a bad rash, now the hair grew back a little, but Dennis has started grooming these areas again... obsessively. Dennis needs help. Dennis says the vet says it is mental in this case, or maybe Dennis needs vitamins. Dennis is depressed. Dennis refuses to take vitamins.

Dennis has the Latest News

Dennis is spending a lot of time bird watching, napping, and hanging out with the others.

Dennis went to the vet and the vet said Dennis is over-grooming himself and over-grooming the others due to either an obsessive compulsive disorder or anxiety. Otherwise Dennis is fine. Dennis thinks Dennis needs a more interesting environment! Dennis needs more toys and more routine interaction with humans. Dennis needs to be brushed and cuddled more before the over-grooming behavior starts. Dennis over-grooms now instead of getting angry and throwing a fit. Dennis over-grooms to calm himself down. Dennis is creating bald spots on his arms and legs and belly. Dennis has a New Year's resolution: to be all fluffy again.

Hands Free Hugging

Dennis likes hands-free hugging (Demonstrating it here with Eddy) because then Dennis can send text messages and drink coffee while hugging. Dennis wished he'd invented hands-free hugging but it was invented by Harpo Marx.


Harpo is concentrating on harping and hugging simultaneously - Dennis had the photo cropped to protect the identity of the shy person being leg hugged and to avoid more legal issues.

Dennis Loves Evelyn

Dennis pretends not to like people for several reasons:
1. Dennis has his moods
2. Dennis is really very shy
3. Dennis will get more bribe treats (like most of your chicken sandwich) by acting this way.
