Dear Cats,
The
dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other
dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of
my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and
dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing
in the slightest.
The
stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me
to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall
faster than you can run.
I
cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry
about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort.
Cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not
necessary to
sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out
to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails
straight out to maximize space is nothing but
sarcasm.
For the
last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by
some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to
claw, whine, meow, and try to turn the knob or get your paw under the
edge and try to pull the door open. I must
exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the
bathroom for years
--feline
attendance is not required.
The
proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other cat's butt. I cannot
stress this enough!
To
pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our
front door:
TO ALL
NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT & LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
1. They
live here. You don't.
2. If
you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
That's why they call it 'fur'niture.
3. I
like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To
you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who
is short, hairy, walks on all fours, and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember:
Cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat
less
2.
Don't ask for money all the time
3
Are easier to train
4.
Normally come when called
5.
Never ask to drive the car
6.
Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7.
Don't smoke or drink
8.
Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9.
Don't want to wear your clothes
10.
Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
11. If
they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
