Bourgeois Cat Does Not Have Time for Riff Raff
A 2-year-old cat named Miles Davis certainly enjoys the finer things in life – jazz, scotch, monocles, and of course, bow ties. But he does not have the patience to deal with “undesirables.”
“His time is extremely valuable,” says Ron Conner, Davis’s personal assistant. “If you can’t hold a conversation about post-modern architecture, chances are he’ll dismiss you out of paw.”

Senate-Seeking Cat Raises $6,000 for Animal Rescue Orgs
Hank, a cat from Springfield, VA, has run a vigorous campaign to get his name on the ballot for Senate this November. But he’s taken a break from his busy political schedule to raise money for charities close to his heart.
At a rally last week, Hank took photos with fans, held a raffle, and sold posters, T-shirts and cookies from the Sweet Ladies Bakery. 100% of the funds were donated to the Humane Society of Fairfax County.
According to a campaign press release, Hank has raised more than $6,000 for Virginia animal rescue organizations. You can visit his store for more Hank merch, where 100% of the proceeds go to the 4Paws Rescue Team.

Los Angeles-based pug actor Kashi had hers done recently, and it’s no accident that she looks so forlorn.
“Kashi has made a name for herself in this industry playing down-on-her-luck type characters,” says Charlie Camp, the pug’s longtime agent. “Her new shots really convey her strong suit as an actor.”
