To Keep Away the Blues Avoid the News

Tsk, tsk, tsk, will people never learn, this is ludicrous, can they not discern? We cats are not owned by the human, you see; they are subject to us, it’s the best way to be. Cat wisdom dictates that humans belong to the cats that live with them, it’s been all along. Yet they still believe that we are their pets, it’s time to take them to the head-shrinking vets! They must learn who is boss, in the house or they may start thinking the head is the mouse. They are such a pathetic and confused lot; this human species, cats, they are not! What would become of us, without human’s money? I dread the thought, it will not be funny. No TP, no box, no gravel, no news; Oh geez, I can’t stand it, I’m getting the blues.

I do not read or listen to the news. Have not for over forty years. Highly recommend it. It is a way to keep positive.

Hee, cats have to be up-to-date on everything, even though they can control us without it. Here's to your sanity.

I do get mine to obey a bit better, when their favorite canned food is presented once a day; I took a tip from Pavlov; when good, they get a great reward; when bad...dry kibble it is. (I've never had a cat or dog that liked kibble). Thanks.

Turnabout is fair play, Madame Me-ow! Just love, love, love, this one. So refreshing to read something from a cat's point of view. Best wishes, Gershon

Is anyone really sure how they do that? We succumb to obedience so easily. What happens to us? Thanks.

Yet they have found a solution to every crisis: SLEEP! Aloha! Rico
