Dear Cat

the water is already in the water dish. Excavation in the water dish will not increase the amount or create a flow and once it is all over the floor it evaporates before I can refill the dish. Stop digging already.

dear cats,

I'm sorry the dry food bowl ran empty overnight. But since you waited until 4 a.m. to tell me, couldn't you have waited another hour? You know I get up at 5, and give you breakfast before even starting the coffee. And to be frank, all of you could stand to miss an occasional meal anyway.

LOL. One of our cats likes to put bugs that she catches and certain "illicit" toys, e.g, my ponytail holders that she hunts from my gym bag, into her water dish only to then splash all the water out of the bowl in an effort to retrieve it. Fun to watch, but bad for our hardwood floors!

Dear cats!!!

Do you have to start a loud racing game across the whole upper floor and jumping everywhere at 11pm (I know you guys are noctural ... but still) when we are in bed trying to sleep before getting up at 4am! Wouldn't you prefer to do those games before we go to bed so we can sleep peacefully!

This way of doing drives the dog insane downstairs and she will bark like crazy, which drives us crazy in return with all that commotion.

Do you have to step on the blind dog sleeping near us on the floor on his carpet and startle him so he growls and snaps in the air because he got caught off guard! Which again wakes me up with heart pounding and almost leads me to put you 2 in the garage for the night!!! And then I can't no longer fall back asleep!

And when WE humans have to wake up, you are snoring and nothing can move you. Argggh!

Your master living in YOUR house but who pays the mortgage!

Dear Cats,
(Specifically Snow & Andi). I am sorry I had to take you to the vet today. It was hard for me, too. Last time I went was to pick up your brother's things after he died. But I try to be a good mommy and it was time for your annual. Snow, thanks for presenting us with a stool sample in her carrier. Andi, you are the sweetest, easy going, friendly, dog-cat at home, but you are possessed by a growling, spitting, Tasmanian devil at the vet. Seriously it will be sedatives next time! Also, next time can you present your stool sample on the way to the vet and not on the way home?

Love your loving but exhausted mommy

P.S. Do you think the two black and white kittens would be welcomed in our home? Of course then there were be 7 fur babies and we would definitely be considered hoarders!

fortunately we have tile, but the bottom of the refrigerator may rust out. And why does the digging always start at 2:00 AM? why because he is an ADD, Bi-Polar. projectile shedding Maine Coon , that's why.

he's anut, but we love him, despite slip slidding to the coffee machine in the morning.

Dear Lyra,

I don't know why you're suddenly being such a floppy purry love bug all over me because you still regularly bite my son (granted, he can be brash and annoying) but I still appreciate it.

Maybe it's because you got your cat door back and can go in and out whenever your royal highness pleases instead of looking mournfully at us.
You're welcome. Please don't start dragging prey in. At least not the live ones, and please please don't hide them under the couch. I'm out of the habit of checking every other day.

Dear Cougar & Ransom
Why do you sleep all day and stay awake all night? You look so peaceful sleeping in the sun right now. How can you be such brats at 1:00 a.m.? I have so much trouble falling asleep and then after I do, you seem to need to pounce on me. I do love you, but can't you just be a little more considerate?

[Owlie]

Sounds about right. Crazy O'Clock lasts between 11:00 pm and 1:00 am, human time.

When I first got Isis, she wanted to play fetch at 4am.

Dear Ransom,

More than anything I wanted to go bike riding today. It is sunny and warm. It is nearing the end of September and I don't know how many good riding days are left. But as I made the bed this morning, I found your most recent "throw-up" on the queen size quilted bedspread. I thought we had gotten past that stage of your life. Now I have to spend the afternoon at the local Laundromat!

When we went on vacation, my brother came over, gave you a treat, and cleaned the kitty litter every day. You never threw up that whole two weeks we were gone. If you did, I never found it. So now you are back to your old habits. I read somewhere it could be because we are stressing you out. Well, my brother does not want to adopt you so you can be around less stress, so please try to be more considerate. If you must throw up, please do it on the bathroom floor where it is easy to clean up. Thank you.
