Today we're interviewing the feline owner of author Leslie Dicken (http://www.lesliedicken.com/) -- Trixie -- and tomorrow or the next day we'll get around to Leslie. As we all know around here on Meankitty's blog, cats are more important! We love how this picture of Trixie makes it look as if she was Photoshopped into the background, but in reality she's Just That Stand-Outy.

1) So, your human writes books. Does this mean he or she is home all day and easy to access? Elaborate if necessary.
No, she is gone most of the day at her day job. But this means I get to sit in her black chair and leave my white fur all over it.
2) How large a proportion of her income do you have her devote to your gourmet tuna, cat beds, toys and other basic necessities?
Lately she has been spoiling that new dog more than me, but she has started giving me yummy wet, gourmet food. It may be out of guilt, but why should I care?
[[[Meankitty's Note: EH MEH GEH, a new dog?? I am so sorry you must suffer such tragic mistreatment and disrespect.]]]
3) What are your techniques for distracting your human during crucial writing moments, just because it's fun?
The best tactic is to jump on her lap. This way she is unable to reach the keyboard and continue typing. If that fails, then settling down on the desk among her things is a good way to teach her a lesson. Finally, I'll roll around on the ground and look cute. Then she will stop writing and play with me.
4) What indignities and neglect have you suffered because of your human's writing career?
She insists on shooing me from her nice black chair (did I mention I have white fur?). And she won't let me sit on the warm laptop. My play and petting time has seriously been reduced. The nerve!
5) Tell me about the felines in your human's fiction. How often do they appear and how big a part do they play?
There haven't been many, much to my dismay. A kitten appeared at the end of one of her historical books, but that's all i know about. Now that you mention it, what's up with the lack of cats in her books?
6) On the off-chance your human has yet to incorporate cats into a story, what are your plans for making sure she rectifies this egregious error and demonstration of poor writing skills?
From now on, I will be sure to annoy...um, distract, her at all possible writing times! There is no way she can forget about adding cats to her stories again!
7) What works of fiction or cinema involving cats does your human enjoy sharing with you?
I don't believe she has shared any fiction or cinema with me. However, she and the children often enjoy laughing at http://icanhascheezburger.com/ . I think they are lauging AT me though, not with me.
8) If you could make one change to your human, what would it be?
To realize that she doesn't need all of those other silly pets in the house (the dog, lizard, rats, or fish). I am enough! Oh, and wet food at ALL TIMES please.

Trixie, you look so absolutely sweeeeeet! Now, I hate to stir up controversy or doubt in your mind, but do you possibly think Leslie had you in mind when she came up with the title, 'Beauty and the BEAST'???
