Sick and tired of it

Loyal followers

I regret that I have not been able to keep you updated on my latest mews. I have been less than ambitious due to the unending ache in my joints. Sir Arthuritis seems to visit more and more frequently and I am at his beck and call.

However, my staff have found ways to provide acceptable food and drink. I am the sole feline allowed Greenies. Of this I greatly approve.

Of the rest, those felines of whom I will not speak, I continue to have no comment.

It is Bird Season

And I Approve.
Now if I could just Persuade my Staff to allow me Access to these Delicacies, all would be Well.

Well.

My Servants have been Most Repectful. They have Purchased a Lovely Container which is Growing Fresh Sushi. I am Pleased. I shall Request that One of my Servants take a Picture and then Display it for your Undying Admiration!

Now. They must Stop Forgetting to Filet and Serve it to Moi.

Ahem.

I am Waiting.

Bird-watching season

I approve of this Season. There are Delightful Temptations for the Palate Flittering and Scurrying Hither and Yon. I have Requested Filet of Bird but am Being Ignored.

Please be Advised that I will Wait Patiently at Bit Longer. And then. I would like a Little Treat. Freshly Prepared. In a nice Cream Sauce.

~~Ahem.~~

Anxious...

Loyal Subjects...

My apologies. Affairs of State require my Utmost Concentration and I have not had Opportunity to provide you with my Latest Opinions.

I am working on my Annual Report wherein I Unabashedly Scold a certain Odoriferous Male Feline for continued Persecution and Harassment of my Royal Personage. I am weary of This Issue but would like you to know that it has Not Ceased.

A while ago my Humans erected a Not-Tree which was a superb place to have a quiet Retreat and Respite from the OMF. They provided cute playtoys for me on the under-branches. It was Beautifully Lit. I was Quite Pleased. However, shortly after the Not-Tree appeared, the Humans disappeared. And due to their Extended Absence, I had to Fend for Myself (though the Nice Blonde Girl did bring me Treats and Affection.)

As of late, there are been Disturbing Influences. First TOC and then OMF have disappeared in the Valise of Terror, and both reported being taken to the Shop of Horrors. I can count. I know I'm next. But they have to Find Me First.

I am your Suspicious and Occasionally Affectionate -

Monthly Mewsings...

It is difficult to explain the Heights of Dyspepsia that one must suffer through during Change-of-Coat Season. I have attempted to Maintain an Outward Regal Calm, but when the Paroxysms of Bezoars occur, I look for a Discreet Place to suffer the Vicissitudes of my Delicate Constitution.

Unfortunately, the Odoriferous Male Feline thinks that my dis-ease is humorous. I shall have to consider where to deposit my "Disapproval" of his Presence.

One can only tolerate so many Rude Gestures and Comments before one must make a stand.

You Have Been Warned!

Distress

Gentle Readers...

We have waited for the Home Life to return to some sort of acceptable Pace and Occupancy. Instead, we are disillusioned by the Noise, Smell, and Vacancies in this humble abode.

The Chief Scribe has abandoned us to some Place of Higher Learning. We deposited reminders of our silky fur on her Containers of Abandonment in the hopes that she would come to her sense and return. She has been Disobedient. We are not amewsed.

The Malodorous Male Feline remains in Residence. However, I have deigned to let T.O.C. exchange Polite Catly Greetings. There is Hope that we will be able to sway her opinions of MMF and evict him from the favored bed of Repose.

In all matters, we perceive there to be far too much Noise and Camaraderie in this Abode.

Perturbedly,
