Dear Cat

[lph]

Dear cats,
What's the earliest I can give you dinner and have it still count as dinner, not a super-special late afternoon treat, to be followed by a demand for dinner?

Lyra was so pleased today because I woke her up from a lovely late afternoon nap, when she was still in an excellent forgiving mood, by saying those magic four words: "Do you want food?"

Dear cat,
why do I feel so nervous taking you to the vet for a teeth cleaning? Your the one that has to have it done and all you want from me right now is food. But you can't have any. I hope you forgive me for this.
Love,
Mom
I promise tonight big ol plate of wet food!

Dear Rio De Janeiro:
In our supremacy battles, who wins all the time? The human or the beast? Every time I look directly into your blue/gray marble size eyes for more than 30 seconds you always end up showing your belly to mama. Purrr-ender to me!

PS: Granted, sometimes you don't even pay attention to me

Dear Zia,

Surprise love bites while you're purring and cuddling with me may be acceptable in your culture, but it's considered pretty rude where I come from.

Dear cat,

Please stop punching me in the face while Im sleeping with your claws casually hanging out, I will be able to adore and pet you much more efficiently tomorrow if you will just let me sleep. Or is this about the new dog? It's been 3 years, it's time to forgive!!!

Dear Big Cat,

I don't know what your new fascination with the piano keys is about, but please stop trying to bite them when I'm doing scales to rehab the hand/arm; sometimes you miss and get me instead. Bad enough I have to deal with your huge furriness on my lap when I sit down to do this; we don't need to add cleaning blood off the piano to the mix.

Thank you.

Love,
The woman who feeds you

Dear cat:
What exactly is so interesting about the (not-running) ceiling fan? Also, what's so awesome about the bathroom that you go running in there when I turn my back?

And just so you know, I do bathe, and it is possible to be clean without being covered in cat spit.
