List of complaints

1. the groundhog that's moved in under the deck makes faces at me at the back window.
2. the groundhog (Piggy)has cancelled the chipmunk channel, apparently scaring them off.
3. it stinks . . . either it's Piggy or the mice that moved into the jacuzzi mechanical area and have been discovered and KICKED OUT this week.
4. Chester has found a way to guard BOTH food & water stations at the same time.
5. nobody is around during the day to play stick and string.
6. I haven't seen sardines on the menu in MONTHS!
7. mom keeps calling me fat, and I'm not fat! I'm . . . big boned.
8. dad doesn't take me to Hawaii
9. dad has been reading at night and I don't like what he's reading and he doesn't read it out loud and he claims to "not have room on my lap for you right now, Dougal."
10. sometimes dad closes the door on me when he's reading. He says I'm needy and bug him.
11. I want to work on the election, but mom says they don't need black cats. That some people view black cats as unlucky. . . . my feelings are hurt. I'm sure that if I went door to door that people would invite me in and give me treats. They wouldn't slam the door in my face!
12. It's time to update my wardrobe and no one seems to care. This red collar is nice, but it is SO 2007 . . .
13. . . . . I'm bored . . . . nobody to play with during the day. Bored Bored Bored.
14. mom cancelled my credit card . . . no more ordering cat calendars and sardine pizzas off the internet.
15. mid-term grades are coming out and I'm afraid mom and dad are going to be disappointed with me.

Yikes

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!







Everybody sing.
Everybody Dance.

THAT is what life is about!

I win!

All week I've been trying to be cute and cuddly and win the rights to come in the bedroom. After all, Chester and Tiger aren't allowed in there . . . but SOMEtimes I get to go in.

All week mom's petted me and praised me and said, "no you can't go in."

So this morning I just did a mad DASH and I did it! I made it in the door while Mom was juggling Dad's morning cup of hot tea.

I WIN!

However, I was so busy gloating that I won, that I stood in the middle of the bedroom and Mom picked me up and put me back out in the hall.

"Nice try," she told me.

Still . . . . I did win . . . and I have a better plan for tomorrow.

I gotta be me

Today, for extra credit, I was doing a representational dance of "Hurricane Ike" and Mom yelled at me!

She told me to knock it off.

She doesn't appreciate art.
Or personal expression.
And she's sabotaging my efforts to get straight A's this term.

I just want to be ME and the BEST ME I can be.

And if that means running through the house at 100 miles an hour she should let me do that!

Bridges go nowhere

Mom walked the Mackinac Bridge again this year. Luckily she didn't ask me to go. I had MUCH better things to do than get up at 3:30 in the morning, drive to Mackinaw City to stand in line for a bus that would drop us off to stand in line to walk the bridge. Then you WALK the 5 miles and end up where you started from. TOTALLY pointless!

NOT a good cat activity.

First of all Cats don't like to stand in line. We are NOT polite.
Secondly large groups of people just make me hungry.
Third, Dad and I got to stay home and watch movies. What could be better than that?

Dad and I are in total agreement about walking bridges. We stand in the door and wave, "Have a great time!"
