Dear Kitties,

When I say to move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.

The dish with the paw prints is yours and contains your food. The other dishes are ours and contain our food. (Dawn, please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food dish, nor do I find that esthetically pleasing in the slightest.)

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

We cannot buy anything bigger than a queen size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think we will continue to sleep on the couch or scoonched up on one narrow portion of it to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping, they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible (I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.)

Our compact discs and DVD's are not miniature Frisbees. Our new couch is not for scratching on. Your new Cat Gym is.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. (In addition, I have been using the bathroom for years... feline attendance is not mandatory.)

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you.

Thank you for your consideration in these matters.

Sincerely,

 The big one with the glasses.
