I am a little mad at Mom today. I am mad at her because the new kitten, Shadow, ran away last night. Mom gets me a friend and just when I decide to like her, she runs away. That makes me sad and mad at Mom because if she did not get me a kitten to be my friend, it would not matter if it ran away.

The people kid Julie said Mom cannot have any more cats because a cat has to be a supercat to stay at our house and so far I am the only supercat. Mom said she would get me a supercat cape for Halloween, but I do not like Halloween because that is the day that people are mean to black cats. I stay in the house and hide on the day that is Halloween because little people kids are very scary and they come to our house and try to get me.

The people babies are still here and I do not know when they are going home. Mom put them in her new bicycle seat and rode them to the park yesterday and left me at home. That is not fair! I want to go to the park too! Black Hair Girl cries every time I go outside. I do not like people babies who cry all the time. Black Hair Boy does not talk, he just screams at me and pulls my tail.

Mom keeps telling Black Hair Boy to leave my tail alone. One time she swatted his hand and told him no. But he will not stop pulling my tail so I had to hit him. He cried and got mad but he has not pulled my tail any more. And I did not get in trouble for hitting him. Mom said I could not bite and scratch the people babies but I guess it is OK for me to hit them as long I do not hurt them.

I am helping Mom in her office now and we have a old people woman downstairs taking care of the people babies called a babysitter. Me and Mom can get our work done without those people babies bothering us. I hope Mom always gets a old people woman to take care of the people babies called a babysitter when the people babies are here because I don't have to be bothered by them and that is cool with me. Because I am a cool cat.

Things are getting better at our house, so Ink, I think I'll stick around a while. I know it is fun at your house with your dad being back from the place where people do not like each other shoot bombs called Iraq, but you have two stupid dogs at your house and I only have one bothersome cat at mine.

The men who do not talk like me or Mom came over and finished fixing the dining room walls so Mom does not have a project any more. She is very happy about her new walls and called a bunch of people on the phone acting all happy about it. Mrs. Cravitz came to our house and knocked on the door and told Mom she had a problem with her nose and wanted to come in our dining room. Mom laughed at Mrs. Cravitz and me and the big man were confused because we did not know Mom's new dining room walls would help people with their noses.


I stayed out of the way most of the day and at night when Mom cleaned up everything and put the furniture back. She was in a big hurry because she is getting up very early in the morning to put on her white shoes with laces and a cap and run away. But she always comes back. Then she is going to get those people babies that I do not like. I may hide all day tomorrow too.

Maybe it is good that people babies are coming and I can hide. The people babies can be mean to Shadow not me. I hope Mom yells at Shadow and tells her she better not hurt those people babies like she does to me. Because If Shadow gets to hurt the people babies and I don't, I will be mad because that is not fair.

I do not like it when things are not fair. That is not cool and I am a cool cat.

I know I have not told you anything in a long time. We have been busy at our house, busier than Mom likes to be. Our dining room is a very big mess where Mom tore the walls off to have a project. She has also packed her suitcase and got on airplanes and stayed gone to the place that has country roads that someone sings about a lot called West Virginia.

I have tried to stay away from that annoying little kitten that Mom brought home for no good reason. The big man gave the kitten a name and they call her Shadow. The big man says now Monkey has a Shadow. The big man thinks he is very funny but I do not. And I do not like Shadow. She bothers me a lot. Mom says I have to be nice to her or I do not get cat treats so I do my best. I can't do anything without her bothering me. I have been chatting with my internet cat friends and she is so nosy and wants to know everything but I will not tell her. But I will tell you.

My internet cat friend Ink has been going outside and she caught a fat bird! I am very proud of her and she is going to catch herself a nice mole next. Her people dad came home and she is very happy. He has been gone for a very very long time to the place where people do not like each other and shoot bombs at each other called Iraq.

My internet cat friend, Lucy, snuck out of her house and tried to catch a fat bird but the stupid dogs came out and told on her so she went back in the house. My poor internet friend Sammie cannot go outside because her Mom will not let her and that is not fair. Sammie's little people kids go outside all the time and she cannot.

My internet cat friends Julius and Torpedo sent me some nice toy mice to play with and I have shared them with Shadow only so I could get a cat treat. That's the only reason.

I can't do anything without her bothering me. I like to have coffee and read the paper with Mom in the mornings. I always come in when the big man opens the big doors that keep the cars inside called the garage. I like to talk to Mom and read the paper.

But then here comes that annoying Shadow! She bothers me! I want to read the paper! She is always kissing me! I do not like to be kissed and I want to read the paper with Mom.

Since we have been so busy and our dining room is a mess, Mom has been very cranky. She gives me lots of chores and I try to do them, but guess who bothers me? Mom does not make Shadow help me with my chores and that is not fair! If she is going to be a cat in this house, she should have to do chores too. I started folding clothes when I was just a kitten, but all Shadow does is watch me fold them.

Just when I think things can't get any more bad than they are, I heard Mom say people babies are coming over soon to stay for a while. I do not like people babies! They bother me worse than Shadow! I asked Mom how she was going to have people babies when our dining room was in such a mess. Mom said she had help coming.

Then one day two people men came over and started working in our dining room. They fixed our walls and made a lot of noise and kept working. I asked them what they were doing, but they do not speak meowlish. They do not talk like Mom either. I asked Mom why they didn't talk like her and she said they speak Spanish. I do not see how Mom and the people men who fix walls know what each other is talking about, but they do because our dining room is getting all fixed just like Mom wants it.

So I am always bothered. Mom is cranky and people men that we do not understand are fixing our walls. People babies are coming over and I am very mad about that. The big man is, well, he is still the big man. I just want Mom and the big man to stop doing stuff I am not used to so I do not have to worry about things. Worry is not cool and I am a cool cat.

I have not told you anything because I am very mad at Mom. Not about my live snake any more, about a bunch of other things.

On the day that was Thursday, the big man had to go to the hospital to get the rocks out of his belly called kidney stones. I was very glad because I am tired of the big man whining and crying about the rocks in his belly called kidney stones. They fixed him at the hospital and Mom brought him home.

We had fun staying at home on the day that was Friday. I took 3 naps and Mom and the big man just stayed home. I thought everything was just fine.

Then on the day that was Saturday, Mom got up and said we have a project. I don't like projects, every time we get one, our house gets to be in a big mess and I have to do lots of chores. So I was a little mad about Mom getting us a project. Then Mom said the big man was going away on a boys weekend. I asked Mom to please pack my cat treats so I could take them. She asked where I thought I was going and I told her I was a boy and I was going with the big man on the boys weekend. She said I could not go, that cats did not go on boys weekends. That is not fair! I never get to go anywhere! I am a boy! I want to go on a boys weekend!

Mom made me stay home and have a project with her. She sprayed water on the walls in the dining room and said loud words I am not allowed to say and tore the walls off! She did! She tore them off and threw them in the floor in little pieces! Our dining room was a big mess. Mom says we are going to paint the dining room the same color as stop signs, just like our kitchen. I was not happy about this because me and Mom had to work a lot and we did not get finished.

Then something really bad happened and I am not speaking to Mom about it. She went to somebody's house and stayed until bedtime. I was already out prowling so I did not come in when she got home. When I came in the next morning, I knew something was not right. Then I saw it.

A kitten! I do not like kittens! I do not want kittens in my house! I am very mad at Mom. We do not need a kitten in our house. Mom already has a cat-ME-she does not need another one.

The kitten is little and it tries to fight me and I have to hiss at it all the time. It bothers Mom's stuff and it poos in the house in a box with sand in it. And it is a girl. I do not like girls!

Mom got mad at me for hissing at the kitten and she sprayed me with the water bottle. She let the kitten eat out of my cool cat food bowl and she let the kitten sit in her lap and get petted. I do not like the kitten.

Mom told me to stop being a mean cat and play with the kitty, it is my new little sister. I did not ask for a little sister cat and I do not want one. Mom told me if I did not act nice and play with my new kitten, that I could not have any more cat treats. She is a mean Mom! I am going to run away!

I emailed my friends Ink, Sammie and Lucy and asked them what to do about this new problem I have with a new kitten. I found out that Sammie has a MySpace page and she is making friends with stupid dogs. I want a MySpace page! Mom will not let me have one! She says cats get in trouble on MySpace! Sammie is not in trouble!

I have the meanest Mom ever. I am going to ask the people kids Julie and Justin what to do about it because she was a very mean Mom to them too. They moved to their own houses. Maybe I need to move to my own house where there will not be little kittens, I can go on boys weekends if I want to and I can have a MySpace page. I would not get any projects either because I would be too busy making new friends on MySpace because everybody wants cool friends and I am a cool cat.
