| Charm: "Well if you're just going to leave the food on the counter
and not eat it, why *can't* I help myself?"
Nin : I do *not* bait Dream! How *can* you call me a little
tease! I am persecuted!"
Dream: "Poor me! Poor me! Not enough attention! Not enough
laps! My subjects do not respect me!"
Boogie: "Whatdaya mean, NO?! #@&% You!" (Followed by the
"Crabby Tabby" look which NDC knows so well... ;-)
Mips: "But I *like* pulling the tablecloth off of the
kitchen table. It makes such a satisfying sound..."
Belle: "Smelly Belle?!!!" Well thanks a lot, guys! That's one
heck of a nickname! It's not *my* fault I get gas!"

Sparky: "What do you mean I can't have any of that ham? It smells
so good and you seem to be enjoying it! You give me a
little of everything else you eat. See if I let you sleep
until 6 tomorrow morning!"
JellyBean: "Let me play with my kids mom! Why do you have to leave
them locked up in a cage like that? They're not just any
mice, they're MY mice !"
Taco: "If you fidget one more time I swear I am going to sleep on your
pillow and push you off! Better yet, i'll sick Sparky on you!"

Pistachio - "I really love you Mom! It took awhile for me to show
it but you were so patient with me and knew just how
to pet me and talk to me. I really would like to have
more chicken, though. That canned cat food is awful!
Also, I think you should brush me more often - I'm
so beautiful and I hate to have my long fur messed
up".
Amber - "I turned out to be a lot smarter than you thought,
right? Just because I look like a football tackle
does not mean I think like one! Why don't you do
what I ask you to do - I *know* you understand what
I want and I never say anything unless I really want
something, so how come you don't jump at my first
meow? And *pulllleaze* stop bringing home these
strays! For goodness sake - they think they can just
run around and play whenever they want to! Geeeeze!"
Buster - "I pretty much like it here. After all, I've been
(Amber's son) with you since I was 2 days old and don't really know
anything different. I wish you would let me walk
on the terminal keyboard when I want to. What's the
matter with you anyway? And how about letting me
go out more! What is this, a prison or what!?! And
I wish you wouldn't get that look on your face when
I drool all over you and your clothes - it's
embarrassing enough for a 13 lb. cat to be doing it
to begin with!."
Scooter - "Hey you're not bad. Just wish you would let me chew
on your fingers a little more. Thanks for giving
me a nice home with lots of good food and a warm place
to sleep. It's really nice! But....could you do
something about getting these other guys off my back
for kripes sake?!
Muffin - "Oh,no - you're petting *them* and not me! I'm supposed
(our dog) to be the special one around here. And don't try
to keep passing off that canned crap as food. I know
what you two are eating and it's a helluva lot better
than this stuff! The treats are pretty good, but
could you add a little more variety? And please stop
asking me to stop barking when I'm outside. It's
the only way I get to feel in charge of anything
anymore!"
Carole ;-)

| Barney ("chubby) & "What do ya mean, we have to WAIT till Ben comes
Gonezo ("fatso) home before you'll feed us. Can't we eat his food
too?"
Barney "Are you saying I snore loud? What about Daddy?"
Gonezo "Please give me more tummy-time. I don't roll over
like a dog for nuthin ya know."
Benjamin "Let me out, let me out! You keep me cooped up so
much. I'll be careful, promise!"
"Can I PLEASE have some more Bonkers? I promise I
won't tell the 'fat boys'. What?? Only three?"
All three "Yeah, let's keep her. But if that new baby on the
way starts keeping us awake at night, or starts
pulling our tails... no telling what we'll do."

| 3249.5 | A typical conversation with mummy | IOSG::THOMPSONR | with an IQ of a demented grape..... | Wed Jan 17 1990 09:03 | 14 |
| Henrietta: Oh great!! She's woken up at *last*!! Careful now - don't
want to appear too affectionate and make her think I
*depend* on her or anything! Oh great, I love it when she
picks me up - wish I could stop purring though - that's a real
give away. I know, I'll start looking around - that way
she won't think I'm enjoying it so much - musn't give these
humans the upper hand - it says in the Cats Handbook 1990.
Sophie: Look at me when I'm talking to you!! I'm telling you,
Henrietta's being REALLY NAUGHTY again mum - and where's my
meal? You haven't fed me so far this morning. I know that
you may *think* that you've fed us, but you MUST be
mistaken! Oh shucks! do you *really* think I'm beautiful?
Really? Oh that's good! Oh gosh!

Brandi: I was a one-cat-per-household-cat until Daddy started
dating *her*! Then they moved in together and she became
Mom which is ok cuz loves me and likes to pet me and
scratch behind my ears. But then she told Daddy to
get a *kitten*!! Stupid woman! I don't want another cat
around. Well she's ok I guess. someone I can beat on.
Then we move again!! And get another one!! This is
ridiculous!! But at least here I get to go outside again.
Lots of woods and mice and birds to chase. Couldn't do
that in the other place. Too many cars. Oh great!
Now a fuzzy white one!! There are now 4 in this house|!
Fortunately Dad said no more!! Harumph! How can I
be dignified with all these others pestering me.
Sasha: I'm Mommy's baby! And I know it!! She gets really mad
at me sometimes like when I terrorize Chloe. Hee hee hee.
She is such a wimp she makes it easy to scare her!! But
that really irritates Mom and Dad so I try not to do it
too often. Mom will talk to me, and pet me and play
with my tail. Sasha-pouffy-tail she calls me. Now
what kind of ridiculous name is that? She also calls
me a b**ch. I don't that that is a good name. I don't
think I like it. Hey Mom! Come turn the water on in the
sink for me...I want a drink!
Duke: I'm not a healthy kitty. But I fight real hard and I
know Mommy and Daddy hurt when I'm hurting. So I try
not to show it too much. The only way they know is
when I have trouble breathing. But boy can I scream!
Drives them nuts! They give me this dry stuff that's
supposed to be healthy for me. I don't want that!
Gimme the stuff in the can! And they laugh at me when
I eat cuz I growl. So I'm enjoying myself!! Jeesh,
humans can be strange!
Chloe: I came here from Daddy's brother. He used to be my daddy
but he moved and couldn't take me with him. So here I am!
I really wish this grey and black one would leave me alone!
She's such a bully. She knows I'm a mild-tempered kitty
and I scare easily. Why can't she leave me alone? And
when I'm in heat Mommy and Daddy get a kick out of
listening to me talk. But I heard them talking the other
day about getting me spayed. Said I can get some physical
problems if I keep going into heat and don't get bred.
And since I'm not show quality (at least that's what a
friend said) and the lady who has my natural mommy never
gave me my papers, I can't be bred, so they're gonna fix
me!! Hope it doesn't hurt! I love it when Mommy
brushes me!! It feels so good! I guess things here are
ok, my first daddy never brushed me and my fur got all
matted up. But it's ok now!

| Scruffy (by day.........):
"My tail? YES, it is fluffy and high and proud! not
like those DAM strays you feed, I have class!!"
"Why do you have to feed them? I EAT ALL YOUR FOOD?
Cat Food and I still MOUSE!!" "If I can do it they
can fen for themselves too!"
"Yes, dear mother -- I was kinda of shaggy and your
dear husband, now Daddy, (OH!) named me, but I am
so clean and pretty now! Can't you tell by the
smile on my face?"
Scruffy by nite:
"OH!........will you please move over, I know Daddy
has the other side of the bed, but this is my side!
you, dear mother may have some of the middle!"
"Pass gas?? ME?? That's Dad!!!!!" "Yes we do smell
alike, don't we?"
"THis is MY blanket, get your own..........!"
"By the way, I love you, here's a kiss, a warm hug
around the neck and I'll purrrr for you, always....."
Carol Weston, a lucky, laughing mommy

| 3249.8 | Tabita, silver, seasea, michaela, sweetie, & pita | WMOIS::H_TAYLOR | Chocolate! A dieter's delight! | Fri Jan 26 1990 15:38 | 49 |
| Michaela: Get that %&*#*@ brush away from me!! You keep brushing me
like that and you're going to take ALL of my hair out and
then I'll be COLD! And don't give me that canned food! I
want my TURKEY!! Hey, keep that black thing away from me
too. I know she only chases me to watch me run!!
Tabitha: Yes, I know that I'm the queen of the house and those others
are my loyal subjects. But it is SO hard to keep them all
in line. It is fun to chase Michaela! I love to just chase
her a little bit and then sit down and watch her run away.
It's so NEAT to see all of that hair flowing in the air!!
But then there's PITA. Boy, did mom name her right! She's
CONSTANTLY getting into trouble! And Mom doesn't DO
anything about it! I know that she wants a man, but does
she have to SCREAM it so that EVERYONE knows about it!!
SHEESH! How embarrassing!!
Silver: FINE! Just as I get comfortable sitting on your legs and
I'm ALMOST asleep, you've got to go and move on me! FINE!
I'm LEAVING!! I'm going to go sleep on the VCR where it's
JUST as warm! And what's the idea about all of these other
cats? I mean, first it was just me and Tabitha. I didn't
mind that too much. But then you invited all of these
OTHERS in! Well, I guess it's all right as long as they
understand that YOU belong to ME!!!
PITA: I WANT A MAN!!!!! AND NOW!!! If you don't get me a man
I'm going to SCREAM!!!! You finally get me one and he's
too young! Then once he's FINALLY old enough, you take
away his equipment!! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!! (this has
only been recently where she's been in heat) But I did
hear you talking about finding me a man, but I don't WANT to
go all the way down to Georgia!!!
Sweetie: Oh, I was supposed to USE that equipment? Sorry PITA. Too
late now! Now mom, WHY on earth if I finish my dinner before
everyone else can't I barge in and finish theirs for them too?
I don't care if I get fat and don't win anything at the shows!
Seasea: I don't do much, just pet me and I'm all set! NO! PET ME
MORE! I don't care if it's 3:00 in the morning and you've
got to get up in a few hours! I want to be petted NOW!!!

| I brought this topic up to my kids the other night and they had
a ball with it. So, here is what we all decided our gang would
say.....
Bitser - Come on, you guys, can't you see that I'm such a lovely
cat that you don't need any others? Honestly, I've been through
Fluffy, Dusty, Julliette, Stanley, and the dogs Tammy, Jolie, Nicky,
and Tibby. I managed to get rid of them all. So what do you do?
Bring in 3 more. Gees!!!! Well, if you feed me and pet me and
talk with me, then I'll stay, but I sure would like to be Only Cat.
Esmarelda - Okay guys!!! Let's PLAY, PLAY, PLAY. No Play? okay,
Let's EAT, EAT, EAT.
Zelda - This is a nice house. I like all my friends - human and
feline. I'll just purr and let EVERYONE know. Okay, Essy, Let's
PLAY.
Bob - Don't these stupid females know that long haired cats are
the only elegant ones? And a long-haired Male is the best of all.
I am much to elegant to PLAY - Well, okay, just for a few minutes....
Ellen, who even considered raising Cat Max to 5 yesterday when I
read the note about the fold that is available!!!
