The Family Cat

Hi.......it's me....Annie Grace.......
Let's start the day with a cat appreciation prayer.

If you can start the day without caffeine,


If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,


If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,


If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,


If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,


If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,


If you can conquer tension without medical help,If you can relax without liquor,


If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
...Then You Are Probably The Family Cat



I actually stole this from Puppy Dog Donna who made a typo when she sent it. It had the word DOG in it, THE FAMILY DOG. I gasped when I saw it. This is about a CAT not a dog! Anyway....I corrected it. Speaking of cats, I think I may have found out WHO is always chewing on her files which are in the coach Satchel on the floor under the kitchen table and who chews all the paper sticking out of the recycle bin. Frank. Frank the cat.
I was in my window (with my new screens) and as I was watching my Song Birds I spotted this scrawny mangy black and red cat with yellow eyes. I have named him Frank. He just sits next to the bush under my window and stares up at me. From my vantage point which is 2 stories high and basically gives me the appearance of being a princess up in a castle I stare back. Mentally I give him a telepathic signal which says....LEAVE. Or you will be shot.
He just sits still and looks at me.
Now I yell at him "Hey Frank....go home!"
He still stays
Now I will use mental humiliation to rid him of the premises.
"Hey Frank....do you get more than a tablespoon of Sheba in the morning? Do you have 4 polar fleece blankets? Do you have TWO fabulous leather chairs to scratch when master is gone? Does someone open the window every morning for you? Does your master allow YOU to control the house?"
Now he settles in still looking at me. He is going to torture me. I am also suspect that now he is contemplating moving in. This makes me very very nervous.
"Hey Frank...... Do you have a blog?"
He scatters. Mission accomplished. I am on high alert today and will spend the entire day guarding this house. I may even skip my daily fur depositing throughout the house. THAT'S how serious this breach of security is!
