I've decided that my mom doesn't spend enough time with me. I mean. Usually I have a few hours each morning to get some proper attention (after breakfast of course). But for the past few weeks mom has been running off for a whole half hour every morning! Can you believe it? A total waste if you ask me. And she comes back all tired and then wastes even more time in that flowing water box room (funny human grooming rituals)!So I've decided to protest! Over the past few days I've come up with several very clear messages (at least I think so). First I destroyed a roll of toilet paper. It was initially just a message thing but it actually turned out to be pretty fun to rip it up. I may have to revisit that as a potential toy later.
It's still not nearly as entertaining as my mouse toy though since it's smells so nice. My mom says it's because of catnip. Which I liiiike.Right. Anyways. So they toilet paper thing didn't work though. She just laughed and threw away all the pieces. So this morning I upped the ante. I went into the non-mom room to try and find something to play with. I don't normally go in there unless I smell food or am trying to get mom's attention since I know she doesn't like me to go in there. Another person lives there and she's ok but certainly isn't my mom. But I've found that going in there practically assures attention. Can we say score~. So I found this funny little food like thing. I say 'like' since it only vaguely smelled like it could have been food maybe a long long time ago. I tried to eat it, I really did, but it tasted pretty nasty so I just chewed it for giggles and left the mess on my bed (not my mom's bed, I wasn't feeling quite that ornery). Turns out it was something called a 'dog biscuit'. Heh. If that's what the dogs outside are eating no wonder they're always barking. I'd be meowing like crazy if I had to eat that crap. At any rate my campaign hasn't been too successful so far but I will prevail!
In other news, I love saturdays! Mom doesn't leave and I can sleep in peace all day long. Mmm, saturday.~雪アウト！
Heeeeeee, You've got some nice 'attention getters' going. I'm not so much into the toilet paper. My sister-cat does that. She's not really my sister, but we've lived together about 11 years so we're close. I have two 'attention getters' that I particularly like. They ALWAYS get Mom's attention. One is messing with the pictures on the walls. I don't pull them down, I just like to swing them. The other one is pushing stuff off of counters and tables. Works great! Though sometimes Mom gets really mad, so you have to try to judge just how far to go. Good luck! ~Addy
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the tips!. I'd already figured out the wall thing, only I actually claw things off. Mom is _obsessed_ with hanging colorful pieces of plastic and paper on the wall (beats me). But I only do that if I'm really impatient for something. Knocking things over though... that has potential. Will keep in mind. :) ~Yuki
