The Cat Formerly Known As "Prince" Semi-Wordless Wednesday

My husband and I were commenting the other night about how Cody always lounges on chairs that appear to be rather "throne-like"...he has done this since he was a kitten.

When I adopted Cody back in 2007 his original name was "Prince". My husband has often said we should have never changed his name.

Based on these photos I think he has a point:

"Prince Cody" on his throne with his royal "subject" in utter awe

"Prince Cody" has always known he was a "Prince"

"you will bring me my dinner and you will bring it NOW!!"

I think "Cody" suits him better. Although I bet he believes he is still a "Prince"! lol! Cute photos!

Goldie, Shade and Banshee said...

Cody knows a good thing when he sees it!

Caren Gittleman said...

@Alittlesprite...I think "Cody" suits him better too. When I adopted him the adoption volunteer heard I was going to name him "Cody" and said "Oh no! Every Cody I have known has been CRAZY"....I told her I wasn't worried about that....well....she was RIGHT!!! lol

Ryan said...

Haha so royal!

Priscilla said...

I like 'Cody' better although he is indeed a prince at home!!!
Go go go, Cody!!! You're the PRINCE!!! Tell your subjects to prepare you more treats, more toys and to play more with you!

Caren Gittleman said...

@Goldie, yep he sure does! :)

Caren Gittleman said...

@Ryan lol!

@Priscilla I do too...(shhhh...sometimes DAKOTA is more of a "prince" as you know!) Nooo no more treats, he can have more toys and yes he needs more play time!!

Yvonne said...

LOL! Those are wonderful! I love your button. I'm going to post it on my blog right now.

Is Prince Cody in charge of your household and tell you all what to do - our mum says she's the maid in our home!!

Cody does look like a prince! He is so royal:)

Brian said...

Amin said...

Hello!
Very beautiful.

Cherie said...

At least you know your place in the household...to serve him :0)
Have a great day!

wockley said...

No,I'm sorry, but I think Cody is a tad demeaning for a cat of such Royal Stature. I love the way his poor canine subject seems to be looking up in awe at his Royal majesty!
Happy new year guys from me & Charlie Coal!

Carolyn said...

Prince Cody of the Catdom of Catatonia :)

houndstooth said...

Perhaps it's time to set things right and address him properly as Prince Cody! Or perhaps he's ascended to the throne by now and should be called King Cody... His head has stayed remarkably small for this position! :P

Tucker said...

Cody is indeed very prince-like!

Hilary said...

Nah...Cody is a much better name, especially since is now more of a king than a price.

Admiral Hestorb said...

Yes, and mommy has a QUEEN here!! Me.

xox

Caren Gittleman said...

@Admiral Hestorb I am bowing down to you ohhhhh Queen!! xoxo I hope the Queen is feeling much better today!

@Hilary I think you are the ONLY one who prefers the name Cody! lol. But you got the "king" part right! :)

@Tucker ohhh thank you, you adorable doggie you!!

@houndstooth, yes I have to agree! Prince was for when he was younger. Now he is a KING!! He may have a small head but he has a big belleh, just like those Kings sitting on their throne! lol

Caren Gittleman said...

@Carolyn, I loved "prince cody of the catdom of catatonia" soooo much that I had to read that one to my husband OUT LOUD! lol

@wockley LOL!! I know! Dakota is always starting at Cody in complete awe, mostly when Cody is sitting in or on things that Dakota can't get to. He loves it when I tell him to "Get Cody off of that" because then he starts herding him! Happy New Year to you too!!

Caren Gittleman said...

@Cherie, truer words were never spoken! :)

@Amin, Hi! Hope you are well and thank you!

@Mario, thanks!! I like the name Cody also! :) He has a "C" name like his Mama and you have an "M" name like YOUR Mama!! xoxo

@Luna...you are sooo cute! "Someday your Prince will come, somedaaaay your Prince will come!" (sung in my best Disney voice! lol)...seriously, be careful what you wish for!! Thanks so much for your kind words!! (((hugs))))

Caren Gittleman said...

@Old Kitty yeah!! Charlie can be the Duke lol!!

@Brian, got that right!! love it!

@The Chair Speaks, oh YES he does! :) The silly thing is that a lot of the time he prefers his "Daddy" :(
Go figure, when I am the "cat person" much more than his Dad! Makes me angry sometimes! lol

Caren Gittleman said...

@Jen, yes he does! :)

@Jan....I laughed when I read your comment with "Sir Cody", the first thing I thought of was Elton John lol

Caren Gittleman said...

@Sammy and Andy thank you!!!!

@Hannah and Lucy, Bobo was a good kitty but like all kitties he had his wild times. He was a lot more active than Cody is. Bobo got more quality attention because he was the "only" pet...sometimes it is hard to give cody enough attention because of our dog. Cody is much sneakier than Bobo ever was! He LOVES to tease our dog! I bet you are a good girl!!

Caren Gittleman said...

@Yvonne, that is sooo nice of you!! Thank you!!! I am flattered! Pam at PBU made it for me. I have no clue how to make them. Thanks again!

@Jeni yes! all kitties deserve a throne!

@The Monkeys, thank you!!!

Mr Puddy said...

Wow ! Cody, you must be undercover prince !!!!
Where your princess awaits rescue by the handsome Prince Cody Charming!

Stacy and Ellie said...

Lol that is great. He's a handsome prince, too :)

Cat said...

He does have a very regal air about him!

Oskar said...

That looks like a pawfect throne for him!

Nubbin wiggles,
Oskar

Erika and Blair,xoxo said...

Hahaha my Mom has a friend whose kitty sits like a little prince too. Sadly I'm not very princessy

Caren Gittleman said...

@Mr.Puddy....shhhh don't tell anyone! It is my secret that I am a "Prince" lol. I don't have a "Princess" :(

@Erika and Blair...oh I think you are beautiful!!!! You can be my Princess ANY DAY! Love, Cody

@Oskar thank you!!! Yes! It is! :)

@Cat...lol...he does....he surveys his "subjects" lol

@Stacey and Ellie thank you!! :)

Sparkle said...

My human wonders sometimes if I should have been called Princess. Actually, I think Goddess is more like it! I think maybe Cody would like to be known as Boss Cody.

careers4YourCat said...

Or as Cody might say: "Call me anything but not late for dinner."

Prince Cody: how is your rendition of Purple Reign...er I mean Rain!

Caren Gittleman said...

Ok I LOVE when two hilarious people comment one right after the other lol....@Sparkle...OMG "Boss Cody" is pure genius!! (like Springsteen, I love it!!)...I think "Goddess" is beyond appropriate for you because you truly ARE the "Goddess" of the cat world!

@Careers4YourCat "Purple Reign...er....Rain" I am DYING!!

Love ya both!! I love all of you but you two just cracked me up!

AFSS said...

Well I thinks Cody may actually be a Tsar.
By the Grace of Ceiling Cat, Empress and Autocrat of All Catdom ~Tsarina, Artemisia

The Island Cats said...

Maybe Cody has never forgotten that he was once called Prince!!

The Whiskeratti said...

Kittehs are truly the rulers of the world and everything in it. And we especially luff that last picture.

Caren Gittleman said...

@AFSS, hmmmm a "Tsar" might just work! I bow down to you my dear Artemisia!

@The Island Cats I think you are exactly right!

@The Whiskeratti yes they are! thanks much, that is one of my faves too! :)

Cara n Crew said...

Cute! We think all cats are royalty...or should at least be treated as such :D

Not Just Another Mother Blogger! said...

Beautiful Cody is no Prince. He's a King!

Caren Gittleman said...

Cara you KNOW I agree with that!

Caren Gittleman said...

@Not Just Another Mother Blogger awww thank you!!!! "King Cody" is taking a bow!

Gods Little People said...

Well, duh... sure seems like there would have been a reason for that name :-)) One never forgets ones humble beginnings :-) The images are so sweet.

Au and Target said...

I think all cats have a secret name like Prince or Your Highness :-)

AngelPups said...

Being a dog owner, I was under the impression all cats thought they were either Prince or Princess ;-) But he definitely earns the name ;-) He's beautiful!

Cody cracks me up! I especially love the one of him sitting at the table. He just has that look on entitlement on his face...well, I suppose all cats have that look! Cody is definitely a prince :)

Caren Gittleman said...

@TheCatFromHell....nooooo Penelope is MUCH sweeter than her name! xoxo

@Cat-in-sydney (Cody said to tell you he is smiling smugly lol)
