Bandit, you have our sympathies; we're ticked off most of the time, too,
usually at each other though and we give our Meowmie a good hard training regimen everyday! Omar: I'm always annoyed at Tucker. Oreo: Tucker LOOKS at me! I hisspit at him but Meowmie tells me to stop. Midnight: MRRROOWW -- I'm the Queen and Tucker better get used to it! Robin: I'm cute and sweet but Meowmie doesn't play with me enough 'cause she's always breaking up the others. Tucker: I'm a round, rough, tough tigercat; had a hard upbringing but found some good slaves to take me in! Wish the others around here would accept me as KING! Meowmie: Wonder why I never have any time for myself???? Piccies of above at: http://photos.yahoo.com/cfbureltoo Christine "CatNipped" wrote in message m... Cast of Characters: Bandit - 14-year-old female DLH tabby Sammy - 2 1/2 -month-old female DHL tabby Hello, my name is Bandit and I'd like to air my grievances to you. Mommy said the people on this list are very sympathetic and I'm hoping you will sympathize with my horrible situation. You see, my life used to be peaceful. My life used to be serene. My life used to be pleasant! Then one day Mommy brought home a monster. Oh, you wouldn't think she was a monster - less than a pound of fluff with big blue eyes. But just looking into those eyes, I knew. I had her number from the start. You think I'm lying? Just listen to what my typical morning is like now. 4:30AM: I am awakened by loud smacking noises. I look up to see Sammy sucking on her tail. How disgusting! 4:31AM: I reach over and swat Sammy on top of her head to make her stop. 4:32AM: I go back to sleep. 4:45AM: I am awakened by loud smacking noises. I look up to see Sammy sucking on MY tail. What nerve! How totally disgusting! My tail is wet!!! 4:46AM: I reach over and swat Sammy on top of her head to make her stop. 4:47AM: I go back to sleep. 5:00AM: I am awakened by a severe pain in my tail. I look up to see Sammy CHEWING on my TAIL!! How dare she?! Is she crazy??!? My tail HURTS! 5:01AM: I reach over and swat Sammy on twice top of her head to make her stop. I swat her on top of her head again for good measure. 5:02AM: I go back to sleep. 5:15AM: I am awakened by loud purring next to my ear. I look up to see Sammy sleeping on my back. Sigh. Well, she is kind of cute, but only sometimes, when she's asleep - rarely! 5:16AM: I go back to sleep. 6:00AM: The alarm clock rings and Mommy gets up to get ready to abandon me yet again today. 6:01AM: The fun begins. Sammy is attacking and aggravating Mommy and I am loving it - hah! That's what she gets for bringing home that little monster! 7:30AM: Mommy has again abandoned me and left me alone to cope with this spawn from hell. 7:35AM: I jump down from the bed to walk across the room to my breakfast. 7:36AM: I feel something land on my back and bite me!! I turn around, flinging off this attacker and see Sammy rolling across the floor. 7:37AM: I run up to Sammy and swat her on top of her head for this sneak attack. 7:38AM: Sammy rolls over onto her back in an attempt to propitiate me. 7:39AM: I don't feel propitiated - I swat Sammy two more times on top of her head. 7:40AM: I finally reach my breakfast. I'm starving and I start right in when suddenly this little head butts me out of the way and starts eating my breakfast! Sigh. I have to let the little one eat - I don't know why, something inside just forces me to back away while she gobbles up a whole tenth of my chow! 7:42AM: Sammy finally finishes her meal and I start right in when suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my tail. I look around to find Sammy chewing on my tail!! How dare she?! Is she crazy??!? My tail HURTS! 7:43AM: I reach over and swat Sammy on top of her head. 7:44AM: I go back to eating my breakfast. 8:00AM: I'm all tired out from my intense morning activities, so I head back to the bed to take a nap. 8:01AM: I feel something land on my back and bite me!! I turn around, flinging off this attacker and see Sammy rolling across the floor. 8:02AM: I run up to Sammy and swat her on top of her head for this sneak attack. 8:03AM: Sammy rolls over onto her back in an attempt to propitiate me. 8:04AM: I don't feel propitiated - I swat Sammy two more times on top of her head. 8:05AM: I reach the bed and finally settle down for some much-needed sleep. 8:15AM: I am awakened by loud smacking noises. I look over to see Sammy sucking on her paw. How disgusting! 8:16AM: I reach over and swat Sammy on top of her head to make her stop. 8:17AM: I go back to sleep. 10:00AM: I am awakened by hunger pains, I need a mid-morning snack. 10:01AM: I jump down from the bed to walk across the room to get my snack. 10:02AM: I feel something land on my back and bite me!! I turn around, flinging off this attacker and see Sammy rolling across the floor. I run up to her and swat her on top of her head for this sneak attack. 10:03AM: Sammy rolls over onto her back in an attempt to propitiate me. 10:04AM: I don't feel propitiated - I swat Sammy two more times on top of her head. 10:05AM: I'm still really ****ed, so I swat Sammy three more times on top of her head. 10:06AM: Sammy finally gets smart and runs under the bed to hide from me. 10:10AM: I finish my snack and head back to the bed for some much-needed sleep. 10:11AM: I feel something grab me on my hind leg and start biting me. I turn around to find Sammy attached to my leg. I give my leg a shake and fling her off of me. 10:12AM: I walk over to Sammy and swat her on top of her head twice for the affront. 10:13AM: Sammy rolls over onto her back in an attempt to propitiate me. 10:14AM: I don't feel propitiated - I swat Sammy three more times on top of her head. 10:15AM: I finally reach the bed and snuggle down to catch up on my lost sleep (a person could get seriously sleep-deprived in this house now that the monster has come to live with us!). 10:30AM: I am awakened by a loud smacking noise. I look over to see Sammy sucking on her tail again. What a disgusting little brat! 10:31AM: I reach over and swat Sammy on top of her head to make her stop. 10:32AM: I go back to sleep. 12:00PM: I am awakened by loud purring next to my ear. I look up to see Sammy sleeping on my back. Sigh. Afternoons are much worse - that's when Sammy gets frisky. And so it goes, day after day, week after week, constant torment and pain do I suffer. Please send me purrs to help end this misery! Yours, Bandit Owner of Mommy

Dear Bandit,
Purrs for you in hopes that things will get better. I remember when I was a kitten in a house full of cats there were times I wanted to play and the other cats really didn't like me. But then I came to live with Mama Kristi and suddenly it was weird being all alone. There were days when I would get kinda lonely and wanting someone to play with. But then Mischief showed up. She was a really pain, she was hissing at me, swiping at me and eating MY food. and I was here FIRST! I would just be walking by and she would take a swing at me for no reason! She's much better now. We play together a couple of times a day when I'm not napping. But when she gets in a hissy mood, I leave her alone. One thing I learned at my foster home growing up is NEVER mess with an angry queen. So things do get better eventually. Hang in there. Take care, Imp

Dear Bandit,
My meowmie has submitted me to sheer h*ll for almost a year now. I was the third child, until July of last year when my big brother went on to the bridge. Meowmie was distraught, I tried to console her, so did Stumbles and Z. What did the dumb hoomin do? Went out and started FOSTERING!!!! Well at first I thought it wasn't bad, I must admit, extra food, and I was training the youngsters in proper cat behavior. Then one bit my toe and it got infected! And my older brother Z got an URI. You'd think after that she would stop bringing these little monsters home. Kept saying they're only temporary - well let me tell you she doesn't keep her word! After my oldest brother passed, she goes and keeps three of these monsters. Then my brother Z passed and she kept three more! I have resorted to sleeping on top of the kitchen cabinets, only way to get any peace and quiet around here. Now she keeps saying it's kitten season, we've already got two going back that are finally semi-behaved, now she's going to go and bring back more! I was looking forward to asserting my age and enjoying having her wait on me hand and foot. I've given up on trying to rule the house, it's too much chaos. Every now and then though I have put one of those younger ones in their place just to remind them I am the oldest. Youngsters today just have no respect for their elders. I completely understand Bandit, and am sending purrs your way. Elmo "CatNipped" wrote in message m...

You should have listened to Mommy when she told you while you were a kitten that if you didn't knock off the shenanigans, one day she'd get a kitten and put you through the same things she had to put up with from you. Hmm... if that's not cutting off your nose to spite your face, I don't know what is.  Bandit's problems sound minor indeed when compared tothe time-consuming, injurious, and expensive destruction Sammy has perpetrated on the human mom! Joyce
