“And they blame only the cat?”
Yeah, people are doing weirder and weirder things to duck personal responsibility. The cat may have done it, okay, but who’s responsible for the cat and the safety of the family? Not the damn cat, for certain.
To: clamper1797
The poor animal, needs counseling, drug rehab. And its owners should be forced to do, at the very least, community service for allowing their cat to fall into such destructive behavior.

Yeah, people are doing weirder and weirder things to duck personal responsibility. Why not blame the cat ... the dog ate my homework on numerous occasions

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT’S DIARY
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 ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.
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.
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. Well, that and the fact that the dog was the next victim after me.
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, 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...

My thought exactly. Falling asleep while the kerosene lamp is burning is a human failing. Too bad the cat didn’t fall asleep, too, though. Instead, the cat was busy being a cat.

Very, very cute. :) I had my Black Lab put down two weeks ago. She was 11 and also had cancer. I miss her terribly. Her diary entries would’ve been the same; such an easy soul to please, LOL!
One of my two cats is sitting right here, plotting against me...must go now. She’s watching the cursor go across the screen. I think she’s learning to read...

Why Dogs are Better Than Cats |
11. Dogs come when you call them. Cats take a message & get back to you when they are good and ready.
10. Dogs look much better at the end of a leash.
9. Dogs will let you give them a bath without taking out a contract on your life.
8. Dogs will bark to wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door.
7. Dogs will bring you your slippers or the evening newspaper. Cats might bring you a dead mouse.
6. Dogs will play Frisbee with you all afternoon. Cats will take a three-hour nap.
5. Dogs will sit on the car seat next to you. Cats have to have their own private box or they will not go at all
4. Dogs will greet you & lick your face when you come home from work. Cats will be mad that you went to work at all.
3. Dogs will sit, lie down, and heel on command. Cats will smirk and walk away.
2. Dogs will tilt their heads and listen whenever you talk. Cats will yawn and close their eyes.
1. Dogs will give you unconditional love forever. Cats will make you pay for every mistake you've ever made since the day you were born.

12) Cats will burn down your house, and hope to make it look like the dog. Dogs will save your family, and even the culprit cat, at the risk of his own life.

You Are: 90% Dog, 10% Cat |
You're a dog at heart - and it's not a bad thing at all! You love unconditionally, and you're extremely loyal. And while you may act silly at times, you're really quite smart - and a good learner! |
