Dear Cats of the World

February 24, 2010

Dear Cats of the World,

Why, oh why, do you insist on using the litter pan seconds after I change it?  Is it too much to ask to have clean litter for more than 30 seconds?

I put up with you incessant cries for treats, I feed you dry and wet cat food; I even play with that stupid laser light you enjoy.

You run up the hall, down the hall, along the wall, ignore the ball, to chase that laser.  For the record, it’s a light.  You will never catch it.

While I’ve got your attention, I want to thank you for shredding the back of my recliner, which is two-feet away from your untouched scratching post. I know, moving that additional two-feet would cut into your licking your groin time.

This is why we don’t have nice things.

Now that it’s out of my system, I’ve started to think about what I’ve said.  Maybe it’s me.  Maybe I expect too much.

I should just be happy to have a warm ball of fur crawl into my lap, to pet, to calm me down at the end of the long day…

…a warm ball of fur that hacked on the carpet while I was at work.

No, it’s not me.

You’re just an asshole, cat.

    lol.. how true.

    I got a new kitty about a month ago. The moment my feet hit the floor in the morning that SOB incessantly attacks my toes until the time I leave for work.

    and seriously…. what is it with cleaning out the litter box and five seconds later, kitty has to go scratch around in it to pee.

    stupid cat.

      When I change the cat box, I think my got goes, “Oh boy gotta poop!” What a jerk.

    Hey! Its not just cats. My kids like to wait until all the dishes are done, and not even dry yet to come in the kitchen to “get a snack” which means dirtying up half of those dishes. I ask them “Does a clean kitchen make you hungry?”
    Don’t knock the kitties for crotch licking . If I could do that……..Oh, he’d probably scratch me.

    Reason 1,320,456 why I don’t have a cat. That and the pesky cat allergy…

    I love it when my cat poops right in front of the litter box (on the floor).

    Very classy.

      At least that’s a solid waste. My cat likes to pee in that location.

      yeah, mine did that once and then proceeded to scratch the linoleum floor as if she were going to cover it up or something…

    I don’t have cats but I did clean up dog turds and pee this morning. Problem is – I don’t know which dog did it?

    I will admit I have a slight obsession with cats. My only complaint is their amazing clocks! By 6:30am they are wildly running around on top of, and around me until that exciting moment when I get up to feed them.. Or shut them out of the bedroom ;)
