Forecast Shower Today "The Reign of Cats"

Today several of my blogging friends are hosting a virtual kitty shower for our fellow blogger Kathy( http://trekcapri.blogspot.com/) who today becomes the proud mommy of kitty "Elizabeth". In honor of this happy occasion I dedicate today's post to Kathy and Elizabeth. May your shared lives together bring you great joy and happiness.

CAT THOUGHTS

DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from shredding the occasional piece of furniture.

Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant and cough it up on the carpeting.
DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded -must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed (again).

DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan ...

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason, I was chosen for the water torture. This time, however, it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth and the tiny bit of flesh under my claws.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

Kathy- I'm sure Elizabeth will be a different sort of cat from the one speaking above... your kitty will be kind and loving and of great company. Welcome to a great home Elizabeth and Congratulations Kathy!

Your Umbrella

sometimes it's bad,

and there's nothing much you can do about it

but carry an umbrella. " ~Pepper Giardino

This is what my friend Anne had written on Facebook the other day. I remarked I love the sound of this and that it should become my daily mantra. Just wanted to share this with you.
