Diary – April 2007

May 3, 2007 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Issues, Food and Otherwise

Showing off my fluffy tail

If she had tried sleeping on it, she would have kept itA few days after the new rug arrived, I was quite shocked when my human gathered up the wrapping it came in — my new bed! — and tossed it. She is so thoughtless.

You can see why I liked the wrapping so much better than the actual rug — the rug is a fur magnet.

Note that none of the fur is mine

Not even sure if there's a cat underneath all that furMy human has vacuumed the thing several times — something she hates doing — and as soon as she’s done, Boodie, our biggest manufacturer of loose fur, comes along and messes it up again.

Some rabbit meat would have been more my styleEvery year around this time, there’s this weird holiday called Easter. The humans don’t exactly celebrate it, but they usually give each other a few things. My human’s boyfriend always brings home a bouquet of flowers, but this year he also found a dark chocolate bunny. My human liked it, but I was not impressed. After all, cats are not allowed to eat chocolate.

My human wanted to include us in this holiday thing, so she bought us a bunch of toys. At least she thinks they are toys. I think they are junk.

Where does she FIND these cheap plastic things?

She was all excited about the train. It held my interest for about a second.

First issue: it just travels in a circle and doesn't actually go anywhere So how am I supposed to stalk it?

I don’t think Boodie liked it at all because it disturbed her nap.

And NOTHING comes between Boodie and her naps

The “Construction Bunny” was a total waste of time.

Not even sure what it's supposed to do... or what I'm supposed to do with it

So was the bunny toy in the egg. I was not compelled to play with it.

No resemblance to a cat toy And definitely no resemblance to a real rabbit

Most horrifying of all was the windup hen that laid bubblegum eggs. I mean, look at the thing — it’s enough to give anyone nightmares.

I don't chew bubble gum, and if I did, I wouldn't chew those It's probably a serial killer in its other life

To add insult to injury, my human also brought home a “Hello Kitty” marshmallow pop, claiming it was for me. Of course it was not — she ate it.

It was mainly for me to pose with And if my human thinks I'm gonna be a good sport, well, good luck!

Just when I was beginning to think that Easter was a total wash, my human did present me with a cool tin box of cat treats!

They're LIVER flavor! YUM! And the tin is even decorated in Easter colors

Actually, I thought it was just regular, dried cat food. I was very disappointed I was told I was only allowed to eat one or two treats at a time.

I want to see the rule that says I can't eat them all

FAIL. FAIL. And FAIL.We are having food issues around here as it is, all because of the pet food recall. Well, actually the other two cats don’t have any issues at all. They are hogs and will eat anything put in front of them. I am more discerning. Never mind that my human refers to it as “picky.”

I'm poking it to see if it's still aliveThe humans know when I don’t really like the latest brand of food all that much because instead of eating it, I’ll just touch it. My human’s boyfriend refers to it as “playing with my food.” He’s not quite correct about that — if I were playing with it, I’d be flinging it across the room and chasing after it.

Here is a small sampling of all the different foods I rejected.

Supposedly they're all really expensive, high-quality brands. I don't believe it

If they're giving them away, how good can they be?My human finally gave up for a while and just gave me our dried food for both breakfast and dinner. Eventually I got bored of that. So one day she came home with a big bag of free samples of dry cat food.

She presented them to me for my approval. I didn’t like any of them.

Eeewww

Seriously, is it all that hard to make good-tasting food that isn’t poisonous?

And it would be nice if someone answered that before I waste away to nothing
