Dear Cat

[Possegal]

My Bailey (the avatar) never let me go in the bathroom alone. And loved to sit on my lap when I was, well, using the bathroom. I've gotta say - I kind of miss that crazy habit. My two new ones want to come in with me, but not so much wanting to sit on my lap.

Tux the maine coon insists on a five minute cuddle on his back in my arms when I hit the toilet first thing in the morning. The issue is further complicated by the fact that miss ike insists on racing in and getting a drink out of the toilet first. Following this little exercise, they each pick a sink and insist that the taps drip while they drink and play with the water ehile I am getting dressed. When I come in to turn off the taps they know it is breakfast time and tear off into the kitchen and clalim their spots.

I love their little kitty rituals.

Dear Cats:

I know your dad is out of town and that I'm a poor substitute. But - did you really have to eat my test knit and string yarn all over the house in the 10 minutes I left you alone to chop up veggies for dinner? I'm already feeling cruddy from a flu shot and a messed up ankle - your predecessors would have made me feel better. Please grow up already!

Dear Bandit,

I know Buttons has just come back from the vet. Quit growling and hissing at her as she has "vet smell". She's been spayed and doesn't feel good. You weren't a happy cat when I got you taken care of either.

Also, drinking chocolate milk with your paw while I'm typing is not allowed even though I know it's your favorite.

Dear kitty kat, you can stop hiding under the couch now. This morning's antibiotics was the last dose. Tomorrow, your stitches come out and you'll be fine. Besides, your vet did a pretty darn good job of repairing your face. Animal plastic surgery at it's finest, really.

Dear Chloe,
The computer screen's mouse arrow is NOT a bug that you must attack. Further, despite your penchant for lying across my right and and putting your paw on the keyboard, it will not make the arrow bug play with you. I know you're special, but I do like to communicate with the outside world.

Love,
your Mom
