It is high time that I wrote you this letter. We need to have a discussion about what has been going on in this house.
First, it was just me. I was the only other living thing in the house with you two. I was fed regularly. I always had a lap to sit on. I was given treats and toys. Life was good.
Then you brought another four legged feline into the house. I was pissed at first. How could you? I was the king of this castle. But then little Lucy, annoying as she was always biting on my ears and playing with my tail, grew on me. I liked her around. She was my friend. It made me sad when she just went away but I recovered. I was happy that once again the castle was mine or so I thought.
There was something going on with you two. You bipeds were multiplying. First it was one young one and then it was three. Three at one time. Are you trying to give me a nervous kitty break down?
I could tolerate the one young offspring. He was fine. I was able to out run him and hide but now, now there are more and they are everywhere.
You say that they just love me but I ask you, are pulling on my tail, smacking me in the face and poking my butt signs of love? I think not. And also since these offspring have come into the house my time on my favorite human chair has greatly decreased. In fact it is down right nonexistent.
Now I have tolerated all this very well, if I do say so myself. I don't bite the offspring often and when I do, they really, really deserved it. I no longer sleep on the couch so that they can use it for jumping and I even share my food with them, upon occasion.
But the other day, I heard of talk that I will not tolerate. There is no way that I am going to let you bring a filthy DOG into this house. Just let all those decapitated mice and squirrels I leave for you on the porch be your warning. Do we understand each other.
Good. Now come over and pet me.
Your Loving Cat,
Charlie

DO. NOT. GET. A. DOG.
that is all.
Charlie - let them get the dog. The little ones will leave you alone in favor of the dog and you'll get more lap time as the big lap is freed by playing with the dog. Besides, it will add another food for the little ones to share, meaning fewer missing bites of yours. And if they get a puppy, you can train it to do what *you* want rather than what they want.
Signed,
A Dog Who Knows
Oh my, Charlie is SUCH a pretty cat! Love his letter, too funny :-)
Someone is NOT happy, huh? I have a feeling my dog would feel the same way as you, Mr. Kitty. She is the Queen of our castle and couldn't handle any less attention.
I LOVE this letter :)
For some reason, Charlie has a diabolical British accent as I'm reading it too...hmmm..
Thanks for stopping by!
I love your personification!!
the pic of the baby and the cat is adorable.
Get a DOG!
Lol! Love it. And you know this probably really is what your cat is thinking.
I had to sneak to read this post. My cat is jealous, I didn't let her do a guest post. I fear that she'll be jumping on my head when I'm sleeping, as an act of retaliation.
Oh no!!!
A DOG????
Woah lady! Be prepared to lose what little bit of sanity you may have left!
=)
Love it! I would be very scared of the cat if I got a dog. :-)
Awwww, poor Charlie! I have your twin over here at my house (seriously, she's your spitting image). You are more than welcome to have her...with 2 cats against 1 dog, the dog won't stand a chance!
Boy, I bet my cat has some stories for you. I have had Symonne for 15 years, brought dog home 11 years ago. Now, Symonne has lived on her cat post for the remaining 11 years of her life coming down only at night to eat and potty/poop.
Charlie is TOO adorable for words. Don't you dare bring a dog in to traumatize that poor baby : )
No dogs! They are way too much work.
My cats are pretty pissed about the new baby at the moment.
Your cat is adorable, and it does seem as though that is a likely letter for Charlie to write! Loved the part about the nervous kitty break down, I almost spit out my coffee...
Dogs rock, but your cat is awfully handsome. I love that he's leaving mice and squirrels as your warning!!! Happy New Year!
Charlie secretly loves all the attention!!
I think my old cat could write roughly the same letter. She is one cranky old broad. But we love her. And won't get a dog because she would probably require anti-anxiety medicine if we did.
I have to agree with comment number one. No to dogs. Unless of course it is the plush variety. ;)
You know, I really think that's what cats think! :)
I was split between laughing and crying. I love "his" words, but he looks sooooo much like my beloved Tuna Boy that we just lost last week. It's absolutely uncanny.
I wish you and your family (two and four legged) a very happy 2010!
:-)
Beautiful cat! I love cats but hubby is allergic, so instead we have Studley and three rabbits.
Want one?
What a sweet cat. I love cats. I am definately a cat person. Dogs creep me out.
Awww...but you need more things to take care of!!!!
Are you insane??? You are actually considering bringing another living creature whose poop you will have to clean up into your house?? I am with Charlie...for the love of pete, do.not.get.a.dog!! :)
Charlie is so regal looking in that 1st photo...
Let them get the dog Charlie. Just think.... someone to blame when you screw up, some other tail for them to pull - peace and quiet for you. Just saying, from one feline to another.
Poor Charlie...life sounds ruff for you! Hope 2010 is better...I bet there will be no more multiplying!
That sweet kitty face makes me want to get another cat....ahhh.....look away from Jen's blog!!!
All I have to say, Charlie, is that if your family gets a dog, they are INSANE!!!! Just saying.
Oh, Charlie has been more than patient. I think he needs some extra lovin' in the New Year...
What a pretty kitty. I do love my kitties. The dog I just tolerate, but the cats are my pals.
Cute post. Really cute photos. I can only imagine what my dog would say...I don't think I want to know! I really like your blog...I will be your newest follower!
