Dear Cat

[smilingcat]

two of our cats white and grey is Twiggy and grey long hair is Lover Boy aka Sammy. Dog is the protector of cats named Cody.

Morgan cat is a rag doll. Bit spoiled and managed to get Cody to be his personal groomer. This happens more often than you might think. Almost every day.

Dear LuLu,

If you wish to join in my yoga practice, we need to clarify a few things. First, it's called downward-facing DOG. Dogs don't have claws, so this pose does not involve clawing at the yoga mat. Second, when my hands are resting in a mudra on my thighs, they are not available to pet you. Third, if you tickle me with your tail while I am in triangle pose, I am likely to fall on top of you and crush you. Finally, we usually chant om before and after practice, as opposed to chanting meow throughout the practice. You are, however, welcome to purr during meditation.

Namaste,
The woman who ought to seek inner peace in the feel of your fur on her fingertips

Dear Izzy, you are one spoiled kitty. Because we know you love boxes, we have indulged you by leaving four of them out so that you can play in them. They are overtaking the house. But because we love you and think you're the cutest thing ever, my guess is they're not going anywhere. I particularly love when you get in the smallest of the boxes. It's perfectly Izzy sized. It's especially cute that you like to be carried around in said box. For all the things you squirm away from, the mere fact that you like to be carried in and on things is endlessly amusing to your humans.

But I'm telling you: Four boxes is my limit! Don't go asking for me.

Signed,

Your adoring Mother

<chuckle /> We have more boxes lying around the house than a shipping and packaging firm. Whenever I go into a "that's it!", the looks I get from the girl cat would make you think I was killing her best friend.

There is a video somewhere on the web on how to measure the volume of your cat....looks like with your perfectly Izzy sized box, you have successfully determined the volume of said Izzy.....

Chloe - your penchant for biting things has gone a bit too far. You did not need to bite my e-notebook's power cord. I'm glad you didn't get shocked, but I had plans for the money I got to spend replacing it.

Dear Cat,

we are so so sorry you got into a fight and got bit (again). We know you are suffering and are attempting to redeem the situation with tidbits, gentle speech and fluffy blankets left around on floor level. We no longer think you are about to die, just because you do, but we will endeavour to treat you with utmost sympathy and tenderness until you feel up to ruling the world again tomorrow.

That's cute and funny! DBF's mom went through several stages of trying to work out around His Royal Highness. First she did what she wanted, but his Catness decided that she wasn't doing anything useful and was therefore available for treat retrieval. Then she tried shutting him in her bedroom, but that didn't work because he doesn't like closed doors and would complain loudly. Then she tried giving the cat the run of the house and shutting herself in the bedroom. That didn't work either, for the same reason. So she gave up and started going to the gym.
