How is the Royal Cat chosen?

Question

Can just any old cat apply or are there qualifications to be met? Is catching mice a requirement?

Answer 1

What kingdom are you talking about? Old Siam? Ancient Egypt? Burma?

Answer 2

you must sleep 23 hrs a day, wake up and stretch, eat, play and purr.

Answer 3

well..im quite high up in the social ladder (upper middle class) and i have a very fat, very lazy but absolutly adorible catty!

Answer 4

Excuse me but the royal cat CHOOSES his family.

Answer 5

Not to choose you would be a CATastrophe!

Answer 6

I do not believe that there is a "Royal Cat".  However I'm sure that no cat would care, because all cats know they have been royalty since the beginning of time.

best of luck to you!

Answer 7

Requirements for Her (His) Royal Catness are as follows...

non-opposable thumbs

the ability to purr, but only when your human isn't expecting it

the ability to fetch, but NEVER on demand

the ability to clean one's entire body - without shame, anywhere, any time

EDIT:

Polydactyly??  That's a fancy word, Trees....

Answer 8

Downing street calls me on Skype and they begin a long process of showing me cats on the webcam.  I say "pass" or "no, not that one" until one strikes my fancy and I think it is suitable to assume the position.  Once I give my o.k., that cat is taken over to the palace.

Answer 9

Rules for Choosing the Royal Cat:

1. No catty behavior is allowed

2. Cats must have minty breath (no tuna)

3. Cat must always make his 'duty' within the cat box.

(near-misses will result in a disqualification)

and, finally ...

4. All cats will go to Heaven, regardless if they win or not.

Hooray! :))

Answer 10

Polydactyly is an absolute must, as it shows the feline can master opening tuna cans.
