I know my cat loves me, but I have no doubt she'd feed off my carcass if I were to suddenly expire in the house and she had to fend for herself.

Excerpts from a cat's diary

DAY 183
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They
dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only
thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I
get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

DAY 184
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they
were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an
attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced
myself to vomit on their favorite chair ... must try this on their bed.

DAY 185
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make
them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their
hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was
.... Hmmm. Not working according to plan.

DAY 186
I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen
for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy
chemical
called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only
consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

DAY 187
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in
solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the
foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer". More importantly I overheard
that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this
is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 188
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. 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.
But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...
