Dear Cat

Dear Cat,

Why must you only want to knead on my lap when I'm wearing tights? Shredded tights are not in fashion!!

Signed,

Your exasperated owner

Dear Joe the confused,

Well, you're living up to your epithet again. The way the dog was sprawled on the couch last night, her nipples were in clear sight. Very tempting for a cat who still likes to suckle, I'm sure. But she's a dog, and you are a cat. What's more, she's a dog who's not interested in letting you nurse. As you found out. Next time, why not stick to Moses? At least he's a fellow cat, and seems to enjoy having you suckle.

Dear Cats:

I agree that the new hand knotted wool rug is nicer than the pine pellets in your boxes. At least the rug was nicer until you peed all over it. But no, I am not going to switch the contents of your box.

Get over it.

PS, you still crack me up!

Dear Malkin
you might have a problem. In my days of fostering cats, we found a couple kitties who absolutely would NOT use the pine pellets. They will do anything to avoid touching the things with their tiny toes. Most cats are not so picky.
good luck.

Thanks for the good wishes.
They have used the pine pellets flawlessly for 2 months and 8 months and before that at the shelter before we got them.

We are doing some remodeling and I think they don't like the commotion. I hardly blame them. I don't like it either.

Oh--and I meant that I wouldn't switch their box to hand knotted wool rug yarn. If they insist, I'll switch to some other kind of litter.

Right now they are in jail (confined). The gray older one is contrite, and the little red one is completely clueless.

Dear Joe the confused,

Best cat name ever!!!!

I hope you call him the full thing sometimes

Dear Cat,

No, I have not forgotten that you tried to remove my hand at the wrist ten minutes ago, when you got a bit carried away with the whole hiding-behind-the-computer-screen game. So you can just give up on curling around and being all purry and cute just because you suddenly found out you're hungry.

Dear girl cat,
I'm really sorry that the dry food bowl went empty over the night. But did you really have to let me know about it at 4:18 am? Couldn't it have waited until I got up at 5?

Dear boy cat,
Congratulations! After a decade of hard work, you've finally got me trained. Proof: when I was washing dishes last night and you came up and yowled at me, I stopped what I was doing and gave you a kitty treat. Didn't even think about it, just responded to your stimulus in the way you desired. Good job!

dear miss ike,

do you have any idea how hard it is to warp a loom when you are loving on me and wandering through the warp? I love you dearly but you make it a bit difficult.

PS I have to admit that your 2 AM hair stylings are getting pretty wild but digging the claws in to immobilize me is a bit too much.

Dear cats

The National Weather Service really should put y'all on the payroll. When the tornado warning siren went off yesterday, I knew there was no reason to be worried, because you were all hanging out in the living room with me. If there were any real danger, you'd have been taking cover in the bathroom closet. Sure enough, you were right-- the warning was canceled in just 5 minutes.
