dear katya :mysmilie_482: what can i say.......in my experience, if ma’s taking you to the place that smells funny, it’s never good news. don’t get me wrong – everyone there will be really really nice to you but you always get poked and prodded somewhere along the way. sometimes you’re straight in and out which isn’t too bad but sometimes you’re tricked into a really nice sleep but when you wake up, you feel a bit wobbly :drunk:
i don’t remember my kittenhood :mysmilie_515: so i don’t know what they do to babies but i do remember when i was all grown up, i was living rough. i was really cool
and a huge hit with the ladies :smirk: i worked hard to build up my street cred and really honed my fighting skills :muscle: the downside was, i was always hungry so i used to steal other kitties’ food when i could. one day i sauntered in through someone’s cat flap where there was usually free grub and this woman trapped me!
she took me somewhere where there were a lot more prisoners. i was put with a foster mum but she didn’t like me so i was then sent to my auntie audrey :sun: she was nice and she looked after me for ages before mama adopted me BUT needless to say, she took me to the place that smells funny – they all do! :taphead: i had a really nice sleep there though and i felt fine afterwards but they obviously did something to my miaower. i’m sure i’ve miaowed in a high voice ever since :blush: and i don’t seem to be so popular with the ladies. that’s ok though, i’d just as soon fight them too :devil: although i do still court princess who lives up the road sometimes :mysmilie_479: so they might be doing something to your miaowers too but it doesn't hurt.
one day auntie audrey said i was having a visitor and i was allowed out of my pen to meet her. when she arrived, i played it really cool at first – i hid on a high shelf, then when they found me, i just looked at her and yawned :yawn: auntie audrey said i had to come down and be nice so i jumped down and showed off a bit :grin: a little while later auntie audrey took me on a long ride. my visitor opened the door – she said she loved me on sight and had decided to adopt me and was my new mama! i now had my own mama and my own forever home :mysmilie_14: mind you, she takes to the place that smells funny too – in fact i’ve been there a lot lately.
so little katya, all i can say is, it’s not because you ate ma’s croissant or pulled the tinsel off
(they put those trees up for us to play with), it’s part of being a kitty. oh and another thing - never, ever admit to things like that :mysmilie_495: i don’t know why our mamas take us to those places but they do. my best advice is to make as much fuss as possible which will make your ma feel really guilty :mysmilie_454: then when you get home she will give you lots of extra fuss and treats :nod: i usually do the spider on a glass trick when she tries to stuff me in the carrier, with a good bit of clawing if i get the chance. then i cry all the way in the car – you can go through your full repertoire to really pull on the heartstrings – from full volume wail, to tiny whimper. that’ll teach her :smirk: when you get there, you might as well be nice, cos they always win. i take a swipe at them occasionally but only if i’m really fed up. hope that helps, good luck!
love, uncle louis :mysmilie_484:
