NEW WORD IN MY VOCABULARY VS. OLD ATTITUDE IN MY BLOOD

Bill is trying to teach me a new word. It is not the first time I have heard this word. My last family tried to teach it to me and even Bill has used a few times since he adopted me but it seems he is getting more persistent. This word goes against my kitty grain and makes my blood boil almost as bad as the word "BATH." (That one makes me even shutter to think about.)

Bill set up a special place on his desk just for me and he lets me climb on top of his computer. He has objected, sometime rather strongly, when I walk on the keyboard. But the other day I got on top of the printer and accidentally pushed a button. It was neat the printer started making noise and a piece of paper popped right out of it. That was fun so I did it again. Oh I knew I would have hours of fun with this one but Bill did not share my fun. He did not laugh nor even smile. He just started using that word every time I get on the same side of the desk as the printer is on.

The word is "NO". Now I know what no means and I know he knows I know what no means but he doesn't know I know what no means so I have the edge.

You humans sometime just do not seem to understand what it is like being a fierce predator like as illustrated by this photo of my friend. We must conserve our energy so we can be successful in the hunt. You humans want us to constantly be on the alert and hunting 24 hours a day but that is just not possible. We rest then suddenly we have that burst of energy so we can hunt. When we catch something we go back into our recharging mode.

AAAH THE LIFE OF A CAT

A warm room, plenty of sand, food, water, and strokes from a loving hand. What more could a cat, or for that matter any other creature, ask for. Life as a cat if good.

New Blog Writer

Hi! My name is Sarena and like Sadie I am a cat.

Sense Sadie died Bill has found it very hard to keep this blog up then Mama Cat died and he was totally lost.

Bill found out that I was in the animal shelter with just hours left to live so he ran down and bailed me out. I do everything I can to relieve his stress and depression and he says I am a great help to him.

When I learned about this blog I thought I would see if I am able to give some cat thoughts. So watch and see how I do.

LOVE YOUR SPOUSE'S CAT & SAVE YOURSELF SOME GRIEF

A man absolutely hated his wife's cat and decided to get rid of him one day by driving him 20 blocks from his home and leaving him at the park.

As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the driveway.

The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home.

Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat!

He kept taking the cat further and further and the cat would always beat him home. At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there.

Hours later the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?"

"Yes", the wife answers, "Why do you ask?"

Frustrated, the man answered, "Put that critter on the phone. I'm lost and need directions!!!"

DISTURBING STUDY ON CATS ABILITY TO SURVIVE A FALL

It has been reported that recient studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and correct itself.

First I would like to know who did this study so I could drop them from the seventh floor and see how long it takes them to realize what is occurring, relax and correct themselves.

Second I would like to know how much tax money went into that study.

TEN POSITIVE PROOFS CATS ARE SMARTER THEN DOGS

1. Dogs will tilt their heads and try to understand every word you say. Cats look you straight in the eyes and know exactly what you said then will ignore you and take a nap.

2. Cats don't need a leash to go for a walk.

3. When you come home from work, your dog will be happy and lick your face. Cats remember and will still be mad at you for leaving in the first place.

4. Dogs will give you unconditional love until the day they die. Cats will make you pay for every mistake you've ever made since the day you were born.

5. A dog knows when you're sad. And he'll try to comfort you. Cats know you will get over it and thus they don't care how you feel, as long as you remember where the can opener is.

6. Dogs will bring you your slippers. Cats are convinced you can find your own slippers but just to let you know they too know where you put them cats will drop a dead mouse in your slippers.

7. When you take them for a ride, dogs will sit on the seat next to you. Cats have to have their own private basket, or they won't go at all.

8. Dogs will come when you call them. And they'll be happy. Cats will have someone take a message and get back to you if they are interested in what you have for them.

9. Dogs will play fetch with you all day long. Cats know if you throw away a stick or ball you don’t want it so it is dumb for them to bring it back to you.

10. Dogs will wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats know the dog will do this so they will quietly sneak out the back door.
