Dear mom...Newbies Please Read

Dear Mom,

I know it's only been a couple of days, but there are a few things I'd like to tell you.

First of all, you really do have to calm down, because you're stressing me out.

Please at least let me get all the way out of the litter box before you start to inspect it.

Don't stare at me while I'm eating. It makes me nervous. I need a little privacy please.

You really don't have to follow me from one room to the next. I'm not doing anything that I haven't done a million times before. I'm still trying to catch those pesky fish that live behind the glass. I'm chasing the dust bunnies under your desk. I'm waiting to catch Libby (drooler) off guard so I can smack her and run. I'm doing all those catly things I've always done. I don't need a perpetual audience.

Just because I'm sleeping, doesn't mean that you need to wake me up and check on me every five minutes. I'm a cat. I sleep.

I feel hot because I've been lying in my favorite sunny spot in the office. Yes, that really is the only reason.

I know it would make you feel better if I slept in your bed with you, but it wouldn't make me feel better. I've never done that before, so it would feel funny to start doing it now. Besides, I really like my bed. I've had it a long time, you know.

It doesn't mean that something is wrong with me just because I don't want to play. Don't you remember the rules? When you want to play with me, I want to ignore you and treat you with disdain. I want to play with you when you are reading the newspaper or attempting to drink your first cup of coffee. This has always worked for us, so why would I want to change that now? So if I don't want to play with you, it doesn't necessarily mean that I don't feel good. It means that I'm just being the Rainbow I've always been.

Stop lecturing (boyfriend) every time you leave the house for five minutes. He has read everything you have. He was there at the vet's when you picked me up. He knows all the signals/symptoms of hypo, and he knows what to do. He knows where the syrup is. How could he not, since it's now in every room in the house. Remember when you told me that you would trust him with your life? Well trust him with mine. He loves you, and he won't let anything happen to me.

You know that pounding headache you've had since last Sunday? It might go away if you'd chill out just a little bit.

And lastly, every single sound I make need not be analyzed for meaning. Just because I speak to you, it doesn't mean I'm sick or hurting or getting ready to go hypo. I've always been a very vocal kitty. Sometimes a meow really is just a meow.


Love,

Your Sugar Cat

I love this! So true...so true. Bless you Ronnie.

 

Love it, Ronnie! Especially the part about poking them while they sleep. I was constantly doing that to Buzz her first couple of months. Thanks for posting.

Do you have some sort of hidden camera in my house? This is totally me. I love it.

Thanks for the laugh.

Re: BUMP

Laura and Rainbow wrote the "Dear Mom" letter. Ronnie, it would be appropriate to credit them for it.

 

Thank you for that WCF,
I didn't have that info when I found it.

 

so true, and that could have been written for me. :lol: - thanks for the post! It really is wonderful.

I love it, and it fits me a lot what I've been doing. I even picked her up and carried her like a baby into my bed last night. That lasted about 15 minutes, and she doesn't like being carried that way. She has always liked her own space in the living room all to herself.

That is so true. I remember staring at Sara when she was sleeping and seeing if I could see her breathing. If there was'nt any rise that I could see [cause she was so asleep] I would go over and pet her which in turn would of course wake her up. Than I knew she was ok.
I'm sure she was like oh not again.
Thanks Ronnie!
