Charlie (tortoiseshell on left) and Diesel (red tabby on right) are our
official Corporate Mascots and Psychologists. They are Maine Coon Cats born on April 23, 2004. Both
have been shown as kittens and adults. Charlie earned her Premiership and Diesel his Grand Premiership
in March 2005. They received their PhD in Human Psychology and are official animal therapy cats with
the Delta Society. To date, they have been
bringing joy to people at locations such as Lowe's, JoAnn Fabrics, Wachovia Bank and various restaurants
with cat-friendly outdoor seating. On a day to day basis, they help Menig Consulting run smoothely by
keeping our stress levels to a minimum. They are always ready to greet guests and clients.

Diesel is now
considered a giant among Maine Coons - a super-size or mega-coon. He weighs in at nearly 23 lbs. and is
still growing. He was the largest cat being show at the Ft. Lauderdale Cat Show this year. He is a big,
sweet boy! He loves getting attention from everyone when he is out and about. |

Charlie is a
big, sweet girl tipping the scales at nearly 15 lbs. We think of her as our little girl, but forget just
how large she is. She had to have hip and knee surgery on her left leg in January. She has recovered
wonderfully and is now able to rough house with her brother. We are delighted to have her healthy again.
She tried the cat show in October, but her tortitude has prompted us to retire her from the show ring.
She just doesn't like strange cats!

Diesel and Charlie work as Animal
Assisted Therapy Volunteers at the Miami Area Veteran's Administration Medical facilities. Diesel and
Charlie love to help! They visit with our veterans and their famliles in both individual and group settings.
We are all thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to those who serve our nation! They have just
started off a new animal therapy program in April 2007 at the North Ridge Medical Center in Fort Lauderale.
Diesel and Charlie visit patients at the hospital twice a month.
