So You Want To Be
A Cat Owner...
firstly

You don't own a cat~ We own you !
 
 

When you first fall in love with us,
please remember this :
It's hard to be taken seriously
as a LEAN~ MEAN~HUNTING
machine
with a name like Fluffy
we prefer to be called Tiger or Spike..
and forget those other sissy names like
bubbles, pom pom, munchkins..
We definitely won't come when you call us..

When we bring in a mouse or some other unidentifying critter~ we expect you to eat it.  We are good hunters too you know ~
Maybe not as good as you though -
We see you go out hunting once a week and returning with bags of goodies.
Just remember you won't let us go out of
the yard.

And another thing ~
Please clean our litter box more often
how would you like to keep stepping in little tootsie rolls all the time.

Just because we act nonchalant most of the time it doesn't mean we don't watch your body language.  I guess you humans need to learn ours....
When you bend down and smile at me~
watch my tail, if it is completely straight it means I am thrilled to see you too.

When you start banging things around I know you are angry, so I hide.
If you see my tail twitching then you better hide.
When you shift from foot to foot, trying to make a decision ;
I wag my tail till I decide, can't help if it gets out of control, sometimes I get so mad, because I don't know if I want to go out or come in...then my tail really picks up speed..

And please don't send me outside to sleep, when you have overnight guests..
most of them have smelly feet anyways...
i don't wanna be a junkyard cat
Just Love me
feed me
and cater to my every whim...

{  How very true }
