Sometimes when a man is alone, all you've got is your dog, and they meant the world to me. <I>~ Mickey Rourke's </I><I>Best Actor acceptance speech, 66th Annual Golden Globes, Jan 11, 2009</I></div> <div> Any man who does not like dogs and want them about does not deserve to be in the White House.<I> ~ Calvin Coolidge</I></div> <div> When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.<I> ~ John Muir</I></div> <div> All knowledge, the totality of all questions and answers, is contained in the dog. <I>~ Franz Kafka</I></div> <div> In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats. <I>~ Anon.</I></div> <div> In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him. ~ <I>Dereke Bruce</I></div> <div> Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies. ~ <I>Gene Hill</I></div> <div> Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. ~ <I>Robert A. Heinlein</I></div> <div> I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it. <I>~ Abraham Lincoln</I></div> <div> Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. <I>~ Roger Caras </I></div> <div> It's funny how dogs and cats know the inside of folks better than other folks do, isn't it? ~ <I>Eleanor H. Porter</I></div> <div> The dog is the only being that loves you more than you love yourself. ~ <I>Fritz von Unruh </I></div> <div> I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. ~ <I>Gilda Radner </I></div> <div> If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either. ~ <I>Unknown </I></div> <div> In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog. ~ <I>Edward Hoagland </I></div> <div> When you feel dog tired at night, it may be because you've growled all day long." ~ <I>Unknown </I></div> <div> I spilled spot remover on my dog. He's gone now. ~ <I>Steven Wright </I></div> <div> We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made ~ <I>M. Facklam</I></div> <div> Dogs need to sniff the ground; it's how they keep abreast of current events. The ground is a giant dog newspaper, containing all kinds of late-breaking dog news items, which, if they are especially urgent, are often continued in the next yard. ~ <I>Dave Barry</I></div> <div> Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog. ~ <I>Franklin P. Jones</I></div> <div> If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise. ~<I> Unknown</I></div> <div> My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That's almost $21.00 in dog money.<I> ~ Joe Weinstein</I></div> <div> A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down. <I>~ Robert Benchley</I></div> <div> Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. ~ <I>Ann Landers</I></div> <div> A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. ~ <I>Josh Billings</I></div> <div> If you think dogs can't count, try putting 3 dog biscuits in your pocket & then giving Fido only 2 of them. ~ <I>Phil Pastoret</I></div> <div> Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you later. ~ <I>Mary Bly</I></div> <div> Any society which does not insist upon respect for all life must necessarily decay. ~ <I>Albert Einstein</I></div> <div> The love for all living creatures is the noblest attribute of man. ~ <I>Charles Darwin</I></div> <div> When a man wants to murder a tiger, it's called sport. When the tiger wants to murder him, it's called ferocity. ~ <I>George Bernard Shaw</I></div> <div> The suggestion that animals should pay for their freedom with their lives is moral nonsense. ~ <I>David Cowles-Hamar</I></div> <div> I feel very sorry for women who continue to purchase real fur coats. They are lacking in a woman's most important requisites, heart and sensitivity. ~ <I>Jayne Meadows</I></div> <div> My dog can bark like a congressman, fetch like an aide, beg like a press secretary and play dead like a receptionist when the phone rings. ~ <I>Gerald Solomon, US Congressman</I></div> <div> Always behave like a duck...keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath. ~ <I>James Bryant Conant</I></div> <div> First you learn a new language, profanity; and second you learn not to discipline your dogs when you're mad, and that's most of the time when you're training dogs. ~ <I>Lou Schultz, trainer of Alaskan Huskies</I></div> <div> The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. <I>~ Mahatma Gandhi </I></div> <div> Ever consider what they must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul -- chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth! ~ <I>Anne Tyler</I></div> <div> Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages. ~ <I>Thomas A. Edison</I></div> <div> The dog was created especially for children. He is the god of frolic. ~ <I>Henry Ward Beecher</I></div> <div> I wonder what goes through his mind when he sees us peeing in his water bowl. <I>~ Penny Ward Moser </I></div> <div> My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to 99 cents a can. That's almost $7.00 in dog money. ~ <I>Joe Weinstein</I></div> <div> Dogs are our link to Paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace. ~ <I>Milan Kundera</I></div> <div> If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience. ~ <I>Woodrow Wilson</I></div> <div> My dog is usually pleased with what I do, because she is not infected with the concept of what I "should" be doing. ~ <I>Lonzo Idolswine</I></div> <div> Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. ~ <I>Mark Twain</I></div> <div> Cats are living adornments. ~ <I>Edwin Lent</I></div> <div> Who could believe such pleasure from a wee ball o' fur? ~ <I>Irish saying</I></div> <div> A cat sleeps fat, yet walks thin. ~ <I>Fred Schwab</I></div> <div> The last thing I would accuse a cat of is innocence. ~ <I>Edward Palley</I></div> <div> There is an Indian legend which says when a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into heaven. At the head of that bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime. The animals, based upon what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge.... and which are turned away. ~ <I>Unknown</I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="712" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#FFCC66" BORDERCOLORDARK="#006699" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 96 WIDTH="700"><div> "We need another and a wiser and perhaps more mystical concept of animals.

To do this properly you must sit as close as you can and get the drool on the human.</div> <div> SNIFF: A social custom used to greet other dogs, similar to the human exchange of business cards.</div> <div> GARBAGE CAN: A container which your neighbors put out once a week to test your ingenuity. You must stand on your hind legs and try to push the lid off with your nose. If you do it right you are rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones to consume and moldy crusts of bread.</div> <div> BICYCLES: Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for a few yards. The person then swerves and falls into the bushes, and you prance away.</div> <div> DEAFNESS: This is a malady which affects dogs when their person wants them in and they want to stay out. Symptoms include staring blankly at the person, then running in the opposite direction, or lying down.</div> <div> THUNDER: This is a signal that the world is coming to an end. Humans remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by trembling uncontrollably, panting, rolling your eyes wildly, and following at their heels.</div> <div> WASTEBASKET: This is a dog toy filled with paper, envelopes, and old candy wrappers. It is important to evenly distribute its contents throughout the house before your person comes home.</div> <div> BATH : If you find something especially good to roll in, humans get jealous, and they use this degrading form of torture to get even. Be sure to shake only when next to a person or a piece of furniture.</div> <div> LEAN: Every good dog's response to the command "sit!," especially if your person is dressed for an evening out.

Bananas, plastic Godzillas, flowers, business cards, you name it. (At the bottom of each page is a link to the next page of pix.)</B></div> <div> <B>I gotta tell you, I usually don't laugh at these type of things. They actually bother me a bit, the ones that float around on the internet, where the cat (or dog) looks upset and pained by whatever it is the human thought was sooo cute. Also those cruel videos which are so "funny". </B></div> <div> <B>NOT THIS SITE. I laughed until I cried - literally! Some of the pictures are so unbelievably ludicrous it's just beyond the beyond. Only a cat owner would know how your cat, well some cats, anyway, can just go with the flow when Mommy or Daddy decide it's Just Time to stick something on too-comfortable-kitty! They're crusin' away in the half-sleep I'm watchin' ya zone and suddenly it's just </B><B><U>time</U></B><B> to lay your pencil on their plump furry side. They look at you with those oh-so-tolerant judgemental kitty eyes and eventually grab the pencil and try to figure it out / chomp down on it. So - YES try this at home if you're so inclined (if you know your cat will enjoy this!! some do find it too silly for their liking, so respect that of those cats) but of course be careful to watch the cat so that they don't try to eat the remote or Elvis toy!</B></div> <div> <B>There are of course the usual ads all over the place, but other than that... enjoy the site!</B></div> <div> <I><B>A few examples off the site:</B></I></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="77720bd0.jpg" border=0 width="288" height="189" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">\<IMG SRC="77925be0.jpg" border=0 width="293" height="190" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="77d23c20.jpg" border=0 width="291" height="194" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="77529a10.jpg" border=0 width="297" height="161" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>OK, so that last one was self-created...no human intervention necessary!</B></div> <div> <I><B>Tip: at the top left above each picture there'll be a category, such as Stuff on my cat, Creatures on my cat (pix of a dog laying on a cat, a kid laying on a cat, etc), Housewares on my cat (a cup on a cat's head, etc.) and so on, so you can check by category.

DOORS</B></div> <div> Do not allow closed doors in any room. To get a door opened, stand on hind legs and scratch the frame. You may also reach under the door and pull clothing towards you; silks get the quickest reaction. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered an "outside" door opened, stand halfway in and out and think about several things. This is particularly important during very cold weather, when it's raining or snowing, or during the height of the mosquito season. Swinging doors must be avoided at all costs.</div> <div> <B>II. CHAIRS AND RUGS</B></div> <div> If you have to urp, get to an overstuffed chair quickly. If you cannot manage this in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there are no Oriental rugs, shag is a good substitute. When urping on shag, be sure you project; it is a must that it stretch for as long as a human's bare foot.</div> <div> <B>III. BATHROOMS</B></div> <div> Always accompany guests to the bathroom. (See Rule I) It is not necessary to do anything - just sit and stare.</div> <div> <B>IV. HELPING</B></div> <div> If one of your humans is engaged in some semi-closed activity and the other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called "helping"; humans are known to refer to it as "hampering". The following are the rules for "helping": a) When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on and then picked up and comforted. b) For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and book, unless you can lie across the book itself. c) For knitting projects or paperwork, lie on the work in the most appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work or at least the most important part. Pretend to doze, but every so often reach out and slap the pencil or knitting needles. The worker may try to distract you; ignore it. Remember, the aim is to hamper work. Embroidery and needlepoint projects make great hammocks in spite of what the humans may tell you. d) For people paying bills (monthly activity) or working on income taxes or Christmas cards (annual activity), keep in mind the aim - to help! First, sit on the paper being worked on. When dislodged, watch sadly from the side of the table. When activity proceeds nicely, roll around on the papers, scattering them to the best of your ability. After being removed for the second time, push pens, pencils, and erasers off the table, one at a time. e) When a human is holding the newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to jump on the back of the paper. They love to jump.</div> <div> <B>V. WALKING</B></div> <div> As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in front of the human. Especially effective places to strike are: 1) On stairs, when they have something in their arms; 2) In the dark; and 3) When they first get up in the morning. This exercise helps with improving their coordination skills.</div> <div> <B>VI. BEDTIME</B></div> <div> Always sleep on the human at night. If there are two (or more) of you, book end the human putting off the greatest heat. They will try and squirm but your sheer numbers and inert bodies will effectively keep them pinned.</div> <div> <B>VII. COMPUTERS</B></div> <div> 1: Only show interest in computers that are turned ON, the operator will need your help.</div> <div> 2: Monitors are bad for human eyes. It might ruin your owner's sight and cause them to buy less cat food. Always get in between the monitor and the person operating the computer. For best results, stands as close to the monitor as possible. If you are removed, go and sulk in a corner for a minute, then repeat. Look as innocent as possible.</div> <div> 3: Keyboards are great to lie down on. Make yourself as comfortable as possible. Marching over the keyboard several times is fun too. Practice aiming at alt-F4, N, and ctrl-alt-del.</div> <div> 4: Always chase the mouse. Your owner can't blame you for this, since it's your feline instinct to chase mice.</div> <div> 5: Floppy disk make great scratching posts. Nothing beats floppies when it's time to sharpen your nails.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>Top</B></I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="588" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 1802 WIDTH="576"><div> <I><B>You Know You're a Dog Person When...</B></I></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">You slipcover all the furniture in a complementary color to your dog to make it easier to hide/remove the dog hair. </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Your dog gets regular checkups every 6 months, but you've lived in the state for five years and don't have a doctor yourself.

I thought about how that compares with raising a dog and we decided to list it in a rewarding way. It's nice. I recently calculated the cost of raising a dog from birth to 10 years (dog years). Now this is one of my dogs, not the average dog. My dog gets top notch treatment so your results may vary. I arrived at a total of $71,780. This all includes the cost of buying the dog and shipping her (or going to get her), the vets (plural) bills, dog medicines and supplements, dog training, dog pictures, dog sitting while you're away, fresh dog food, and various dog toys and paraphernalia. And that number doesn't presume any major calamities as we have experienced. Talk about price shock! That doesn't even touch the cost of showing or breeding.</div> <div> <I><B>But</B></I></div> <div> $71,780 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $7,178 a year, $598 a month, or $140 a week. .That's a mere $20 a day! Just under a dollar an hour. Still, you might think the best financial advice is not to have dogs if you want to be "rich." Actually, it is just the opposite.</div> <div> What do you get for your $71,780?</div> <div> 1.  Naming rights. First name at least plus at least at the vet, you get to use whatever last name you<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" > </FONT>want!</div> <div> 2. Glimpses of God every day. </div> <div> 3. Smiles when your dog just gets up and comes over to sit by your side for no apparent reason. </div> <div> 4. Laughs when they do silly things or when you dress them up for Halloween.</div> <div> 5. More love than your heart can hold.</div> <div> 6. Smooshy wet kisses and warm hugs.</div> <div> 7. Endless wonder over tennis balls, squirrels, flying insects, and sticks.</div> <div> 8. A paw to hold, usually twitching while she naps at your feet.</div> <div> 9. A partner for hiking and swimming in the lake.</div> <div> 10. Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day. </div> <div> For a mere $71,780, you never have to grow up. You get to play ball whenever the dog wants, play hide-and-seek, and throw endless amounts of Frisbees, sticks and tennis balls until your arm is sore or you wear out the tennis racket. </div> <div> You have an excuse to act like a fool without anyone thinking you're nuts, never stop believing in simple pleasures like sitting on a grassy knoll looking at nothing or buy outrageously expensive toys and gadgets just to amuse your best buddy. You get to frame pictures of your dog in ridiculous outfits, tell stories of how great Rover was on the agility</div> <div> field, and collect presents in the yard and wonder who the master in your family is really. </div> <div> You get a front row seat in history to witness the first ending to obedience class, the first  swim, the first good encounter at the dog park.</div> <div> For a mere $20 a day, there is no greater bang for your buck. You get to be a hero just for coming in the front door after work (remember big smooshy wet kisses?) and you'll always be greeted that way. You get idolized if you have any food item in your hands, you even mention "that" word that send your dog into supreme attentiveness, or you even put one finger on the leash.</div> <div> You may not be able to take a tax deduction for your dog but she is every bit dependent upon you as if she were your own child. You get an education in psychology, nursing, communications, and your own mind that no college can match.</div> <div> In the eyes of a dog, you rank right up there close to God. You have supreme power to heal cactus thorn scars, chase away the thunderstorm monster, and love them unconditionally. Don't count the cost - they don't. What a deal for the price! Love & enjoy your dogs! It's the choicest investment you'll ever make both for your dog and for you.</div> <bR> <div> Priceless.</div> <bR> <div> <I>Author Unknown</I></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="726" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#00FFCC > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 5859 WIDTH="714"><div> <B>DOGS ~ HUMOROUS CROSS-BREEDS</B></div> <div> <B>Bloodhound + Labrador = Blabador, a dog that barks incessantly</B></div> <div> <B>Collie + Lhasa Apso: Collapso = a dog that folds up for easy transport</B></div> <div> <B>Collie + Malamute = Commute. a dog that travels to work</B></div> <div> <B>Deerhound + Terrier = Derriere, a dog that's true to the end</B></div> <div> <B>Great Pyrenees + Dachshund = Pyradachs, a puzzling breed</B></div> <div> <B>Irish Water Spaniel + English Springer Spaniel = Irish Springer, a dog fresh and clean as a whistle.</B></div> <div> <B>Kerry Blue Terrier + Skye Terrier = Blue Skye, a dog for visionaries</B></div> <div> <B>Labrador Retriever + Curly Coated Retriever = Lab Coat Retriever, the choice of research scientists</B></div> <div> <B>Malamute + Pointer = Moot Point, owned by....oh, well, it doesn't matter anyway</B></div> <div> <B>Newfoundland + Basset Hound = Newfound Asset Hound, a dog for financial advisors</B></div> <div> <B>Pekingnese + Lhasa Apso = Peekasso, an abstract dog</B></div> <div> <B>Pointer + Setter = Poinsetter, a traditional Christmas pet</B></div> <div> <B>Spitz + Chow Chow = Spitz-Chow, a dog that throws up a lot</B></div> <div> <B>Terrier + Bulldog = Terribull, a dog that makes awful mistakes</B></div> <div> <I><B>and</B></I></div> <div> <B>Bull Terrier + Shitzu = ....

When the sound of the newspaper hitting the driveway roused me from my deep slumber -- the impact indicating the paper was much heavier than normal -- I realized that no one in the house was yet awake! I roused my master by licking him in the face. He appeared very angry with himself for having overslept, shouting and waving his arms. His ill temper even seemed directed at me a bit, which is silly since it is I who saved him from being fired. Funny thing though: He didn't go into work, but spent the morning leafing through the large newspaper and drinking coffee. He seems to do this once a week, and I don't know why.</FONT></div> <div> <B>7:30 am:</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Bell MT" > Invaders! The people who live next door came out into their yard, obviously getting ready to lay siege to our house. Snarling and barking, I let them know in no uncertain terms that I was prepared to tear them from limb to limb it they came any closer, and was able to repel the invasion. This is an almost daily occurrence; you'd think they'd learn. My master added his voice to the fray as well, yelling angrily. I am sure the people couldn't hear him, but it was nice of him to lend his support.</FONT></div> <div> <B>10:00 am:</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Bell MT" > I was forced to move, as the patch of sun in which I was lying had, for some reason, slid over a few feet. It's not easy being a dog.</FONT></div> <div> <B>1:00 pm:</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Bell MT" > I have the most thoughtful master in the world! While it's true he left me alone in the house for several hours, he did set out a treat for me on the kitchen counter. It was even gift-wrapped, a courtesy I wish he'd skipped, since it led to me having a lot of plastic in my teeth. The roast was delicious, though frozen in the center. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but crunching through two inches of rock-hard beef is hardly my idea of a delicacy.</FONT></div> <div> <B>2:00 pm:</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Bell MT" > Most unpleasant experience when my master returned home and was furious that I had not eaten the plastic wrap which had been covering my present. He kept pointing at the small pieces of Styrofoam and other debris and raving in a most irrational fashion. I'm sorry, but he should know that I can't eat that stuff; it makes my stomach upset. When he began rolling up a newspaper I realized he'd lost all reason and bolted for the front door, which was fortunately open just a crack.</FONT></div> <div> <B>4:00 pm: </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Bell MT" >Spent the afternoon with the girls. A most productive day; I was able to mark territory for two blocks. "Drip 'til you drop" is our motto. We had a small snack at an outdoor cafe we like, with meat scraps and bread served out of circular containers with easily displaced lids. Ran into that rogue Sebastian, who lifted his leg with irritating nonchalance -- does he think I don't know about his obsession with Muffy, that snotty schnauzer from down the road? Last month there wasn't a male in the neighborhood who couldn't be found outside her fence, and Sebastian was at the head of the pack. I let him know I want nothing more to do with him.</FONT></div> <div> <B>5:00 pm: </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Bell MT" >What a treat! On the way home a flock of ravens drew my attention to a squirrel that had been flattened by an automobile. After several days in the sun, the aroma was so delicious it made my nose quiver. I rolled in the wondrous fragrance for several minutes, and when I stood up I positively radiated eau de roadkill. Let Sebastian drool over Muffy -- he doesn't know what he's missing.</FONT></div> <div> <B>6:00 pm:</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Bell MT" > Of all the times to get a bath! My master, still in a foul mood, made me stand outside in the chill air while he shampooed and rinsed me several times. Every time I shook the water from my fur he, too, became drenched, and in the end he was shivering. Why in the world does he do stuff like this?</FONT></div> <div> <B>9:00 pm:</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Bell MT" > Time to sleep, though I am not allowed on the bed whenever anyone's home.

I must remember to try this on their bed.</div> <div> Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear in their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, that did not work according to plan...</div> <div> There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of inducing "allergies." I must learn what this is and how I may use it to my advantage.</div> <div> I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit.</div> <div> The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured.
