OK, we all BADLY need a laugh break today, I do anyway. I did not write this, I don't know who did.. It made me laugh out loud.
Dear Master:
The cat is despicable. She doesn't do any tricks and never comes when
you call and I've been there and I know she can hear you. We need to
face the facts:
It's time to get rid of the cat.
Before the cat's arrival, meals were very festive times. I would sit and
stare attentively at your lips, trembling slightly and drooling. You would
play the game of pretending to be cross and demand that I leave the
area, but whenever you cooked dinner your children would slip me food
under the table.
Now, though, the cat is allowed to jump on the table - actually physically
walk on the table! You don't yell at the cat, you just pick her up and put
her back on the floor, and I know you don't see it, but she always gives
me a haughty look as she walks past me.
And speaking of meals, I have always been satisfied to eat the gritty
pellets of meat by-products you bring home in the giant bags, right?
Have I ever once, ever, failed to finish a meal? But now I find out that
the cat is being served lobster and salmon and crab - and she never
consumes all of it!
This means there are little containers of delectable snacks lying around
and how can I be blamed for making sure they get eaten? Why do you get
so mad?
As long as the pet food is going to the pets, isn't that what's important?
Speaking of sanitation, do you realize that the cat goes to the bathroom
in the house? And not in the drinking basins like you do, but in a
sandbox in the basement. What are we going to say if some woman brings
her baby over to play in the sandbox and the cat has been using it as a
toilet? I used to police the thing for you, but you put it up out of my
reach for some reason.
I'm not the only one who believes the cat is an evil person. Here's a note
from the hamster:
Subject: Cat
Please tell cat to stop staring at me while I work.
Signed,
Hamster

I also tried to get a note from the fish, but apparently it believes that
everything happening outside its bowl is some kind of reality - TV show.
I don't understand why the cat is allowed up on the bed and I'm not. I
am far more cuddly than any stupid cat. I think her purring sounds
unhealthy
and may be a sign of tuberculosis.
And why doesn't she ever get a bath? She smells like saliva from licking
her paws - you'd never catch me licking such ridiculous places. I often
smell wonderful from rolling in road kill, yet you give me baths all the
time.
And speaking of sleeping, sometimes I'll be taking a nap and she'll come
right up and lie down beside me. Usually I'm too tired to do anything
about it, but then later the other dogs smell her on me and crack a lot
of jokes at my expense.
So, not to exaggerate, but the cat has brought the family to complete ruin.
I'm sorry I have to be the one to bring it to your attention, but now
that I
have, I think we can all agree that we should go back to the way it was,
when I was the #1 pet.
Sincerely,
The Dog
