Dear Human

Posted By on June 23, 2008

Today, guest blogging on my site are my two cats. Because Kristabella has run out of things to write about. Something she never would have thought was even possible.

Dear Human,

We need to talk. We are not satisfied with the food situation in our home. Notice we said our home, since we spend more time here than you do. Because YOU NEVER LET US OUT. And you come home wobbly and slurry a lot. And almost sit on us.

Do you remember when you used to serve us tasty goodness from a can? When you actually took your lazy ass to the pet store and bought us FOOD? Do you remember? Do you think you could do that again? Like yesterday?

I know what you say. We have dry food. We aren’t starving. Well, this is the equivalent of eating rice cakes all day, every day. How would you like that, huh Human? Huh? I’d image not so much since all we see you do is stuff your face full of FOOD.

How does that food taste? Good? I bet it does. WE WOULD LIKE GOOD TASTING FOOD TOO.

Let’s discuss you stepping on me, Simba. I have not yet forgiven you. Not even close. This is why I am constantly annoying you by LICKING YOUR ARM, since I know you hate it so. And this is also why I have puked every day since, including that one time on your shoe. Sucks, huh? Then DON’T STEP ON ME!

And while you’re at it, would it kill you to clean this apartment up a bit? I have enough cat hair on my CAT BODY, I don’t need to see tumbleweeds of hair balls floating around me at all times. That other cat, the girl one, she is stupid and sometimes chases her own hair. And it is irritating. All while you’re away at work in the air conditioning, while we sweat it out like a fat person wearing a parka in a sauna.

Please take care of our demands and we will not piss on your couch.

Demandingly yours,

CATS

Dear Cats,

Shut the fuck up before I push you out the window. I’m sure there is a restaurant in Chinatown looking for some fresh cat meat.

Sincerely,

The Human

    I thought you might respond with, “Shut your fucking cat face”, but close enough. 🙂

    I am so mad at you right now.

    You should’ve put a parental warning on this. Not a Dingo sits on my desk (really, it’s more like she sits on my keyboard) and once she saw this post, it elevated her divaness to a whole ‘nother level. I will send you her list of demands since you started this whole thing.

    Dear Cats,

    Humans are higher-order mammals. Shut up or I’ll get a German Shepherd.

    Now my cat is going to want to write about how mad she is that I don’t let her drink out of my glass. She’s constantly trying to push her fat little head to the bottom of my tumbler. She knocks the glass over in the process. Bad cat!

    Those cats better be careful. I think I’d be tempted to take them to the vet for shots or something, for being so smart-mouthed with their human!Great post, Kristin!

    Dear Cats,

    I applaud your efforts to demand equality in the home, so, when I get home, we will commence your Stay At Home Kitty training program. The SAHK program will consist of you learning how to vaccuum your hair, scoop your own litter, and to sweep the dry food I have so generously provided you off the floor. Once you are able to successfully complete these tasks, I will have more time to peruse the gourmet cat food isle to reward you for your services.

    Sincerely,

    The REAL boss of the house

  24. You better be careful. One day you might come home to find they’ve eaten BACON while you were out!

  25. Evil Genius says:

    I’m with Rhi on this one. What the hell were you thinking allowing your two cats to guest blog? Now my two cats, who are both male and therefore have the egos of Charles Barkley or Don Juan or some other fucking egotistical male who doesn’t know his ass from his windpipe, are not going to stop pestering me until they have a shot at my blog. And my blog is on a beach. And do you KNOW what cats do in SAND??????

    I’m hating on you right now. Sigh….

  26. girlplease says:

    It must be going around. Our dog Tasha “Booty”, refused to eat the other dog’s food, which is high quality stuff. But no, 3 days of protest. I even cooked her a fried egg making sure she wasn’t sick. Nope not sick. Just stubborn.

    Now she’s all smile and eating the other dog’s food.

    Go figure.

    I love when you speak for your cats. Because it is always RIGHT. ON. Not that I’ve met your cats, but I know the type. I’ve got a black one right here that is currently rolling his eyes at me.

    My cat is currently looking at me from the window with a whole “Momma – if you don’t effin’ feed me, I’ll hold your ice coffee hostage and then guest blog and tell them what’s in your closet” as I sit here cryin’ AGAIN. Between cat blogging and Bacon, I’m dyin’.

    Classic. And tell Simba and the other cat that the last time one kitty pissed off her momma, her momma took her to the doctor and the doctor scraped the kitty’s butt (some sort of routine testing or something). It wasn’t a pleasant experience for the cat OR the doctor. Shadow behaves every time I tell her she’s gonna have to to go to the vet.
