Cats always seem above it all

Even with Amy, left, a rat terrier; and Duke, a walker hound mix, straddling the couch they're normally banned from, Lucy remains one very cool cat. Owner Shana Therrien of Lebanon says she doesn't usually allow the dogs on the furniture, but she made an exception for this photo op. She may be sorry she did as the dogs may now feel "entitled." Nonetheless, Ms. Therrien says the three provide her household with plenty of entertainment. (Courtesy photo)
