inter curtai s cat's activities
The Rambler's in a real
funk this week,. so I'm
going to cry on your
shoulder. •My, name is Jack
and I'm the feline member
of the Livingston house -
'hold. Don't panic pussy
lovers; she sent me to the
vet many years ago so you
don't have to worry.
I don't know, what the
Rambter's problem is.
she at least .gets out of the
house every day. Bundles.
herself up - looks' real
weird - you'd think she
'was going to the„north `.
pole.
Well, let the share my
woes. .I' can't get out the
house to chase: those' birds
that keep tormenting -me
as they land under • the
awningon the living; room
window. I can't show off,
my strength by beating'up
the other cats in the neigh
boyhood, I haven't been
able to check' out .the
neighbors' flower bed's for
three months. (Oop:s, I
shouldn't
have said
that the
Rambler
ler
gets so
embarrassed ,when I. do
that),
Her, Nurnber One 'Son ,
hasn't even brqught that
big lug of a` dog around for
me to• torment. He's prob-
ably too much of a pussy
o go out in; yvinter!
I'm on a 'different food.
because she's ,: worried
:about , my ,.urinary tract.,'
Ugh!
, But I'ni getting even
with her! >,veryday she
comes home and finds the.
'tablecloth half off,` She
thinks she did it•as.she'
'grabs all those stupid bags
she carries; It's really me
trying to get that 'ugly
::<.>;::>::..: plant off
"' the table.
to rip it
apart.
...Got her
good this morning. She
decided to really dress up
:. for work, I nailed her
panty hose as she came
out of the bedroom.
The . last two nights, . I
keep ;jumping in and out
of the kitchen window.'
The mini Hind bangs and
really makes her blood
boil. 'Then, just as. she's
falling asleep I start my_
high pitched bawling. Last
night she got right out of
the bed and gave me a
good lecture. Hey, lady,
I'm; bored. I sleep all day
while you're at work, and
I have loads of energy -
what'd you expect me to
do with it!
Well, there ` she goes
again - another day anoth-
er
bp
e I . do larter .rub u .
l t
against her legs, purr real
nice and blink my big eyes
at her. Maybe she'll buy
me a . tinof that real good'
food .I like.:I'd better be a
• good boy tonight when
she comes home. After
that' pantyhose episode
this morning, I know she's
going to get thoseclippers
out and trim my nails.
Hiram - good time .to claw.
her again!..
