I have been waiting for Santa Claus. I have been a good cat but Mom has not been a good Mom so I know Santa Claus is not going to bring her toys and treats. On the day that was Friday, Mom left very early to go a meeting where she talks to people and gives them things call speeches. When she got home, she was very busy in her office and in the kitchen and she packed a suitcase. She was making me tired with all her packing and going up and down our stairs so I went outside after lunch. I was prowling around outside for a long time and when I came back home after it was dark, Mom and the big man did not come home. They ran off and left me at home! I was so mad! Mrs. Baptist and her nice people kids came to our house and gave me food and cat treats and said Mom and the big man went to place where the people kid Julie and her man live where a lot of people sing sad songs about dogs and their mommas called Nashville. I was so mad! I want to go to the people kid Julie's house! She has cats! I am a cat! I can go too!

Well. When Mom and the big man were in the place where a lot of people sing sad songs about dogs and their mommas called Nashville, the people kid Justin went there too with his girl and all of them had a family weekend. I am family! I am the cat! I want to go on family weekend! I am so mad at Mom!

While Mom and the big man and the people kids were having their family weekend, they went to a very big place with lots of pretty Christmas lights everywhere called the Opryland Hotel. They walked around with other people and saw pretty Christmas stuff. And what was I doing? I had to stay under the little house in the back called the shed to stay out of the rain.

After they walked around the big place with lots of pretty Christmas stuff and lights called Opryland Hotel, they went to see the Grinch! I love the Grinch! I want to see the Grinch! But what was I doing? I was running from those stupid dogs that live in the yard behind us in the rain! Oh, I am so mad at Mom!

After they went to see the Grinch, they went to a place where people men chased each other on ice and tried to hit a flat ball with a stick called hockey. They laughed and yelled and had a good time! And what was I doing? Sleeping in a wet tree to stay away from the stupid dogs that live in the yard behind us! I am telling Santa Claus as soon as I can find his phone number.

Mom should not leave me at home on family weekend. That is not fair. The people kid Julie has cats and they are nice cats. I could visit them while the people are off seeing lights and the Grinch and people men chasing each other on ice and trying to hit a flat ball with a stick called hockey. I was very mad on the day that was Sunday and I decided to run away. So I did.
I did not come home on Sunday even though Mom was calling me. On the day that was Monday, Mom was out walking before the sun came up and I saw her so I decided I better go home because I told Santa Claus to bring my toys and cat treats to Mom's house and I didn't want him to think I didn't live there and give my toys and cat treats to some other cat.
Mom saw me coming out of that punk Jesse's garage. She started laughing at me about that punk Jesse. I still don't like him, but sometimes cats have to stick together. There are stupid dogs that chase cats and there is an annoying puppy that bothers us too. Me and that punk Jesse decided that we should stick together for a little bit so we can beat the stupid dogs and we don't want Santa Claus to see us fighting. So I was hanging out with that punk Jesse while Mom was gone but that does not mean I like him.
But I do like his Mom because she gave me cat treats. She is cool and I'll stay at their house again if Mom runs off and leaves me home on family weekend. Because I am a cool cat.
