How it really is

Several years ago I decided to get a pet lady to keep us company around the house. She tuned out to be a real handful and actually renamed all of us as we were her pets. She calls me Steve and my partner Whitecakes. We let her have this little thing so she would feel like she was in control, but it has gotten a little out of hand. She actually has several names for all 5 of us that live here and silly little songs. To get things back in order we insisted the lady go out and get a job, you know earn her keep and contribute instead of laying on the couch all day and watching tv.. It has really helped us all as she has to be at work up to 8 hours a day and we get a little down time from caring for her. You would think 5 cats could handle one lady but she keeps us on our toe beans.

She gets home from work and immediately wants to start playing and then the snuggles start. Don't misunderstand we love to play and snuggle but the lady needs to learn that she has a role to play in this house too. She needs to first unpack the days groceries and open cans of pate' (first and foremost) and then bathe herself. We try and help her but she insists on running a tub full of water and immersing herself in it. My God what craziness pet ladies have, makes me think maybe a pet man would have been better. Then she takes up on the couch in front of the tv again almost until it is time for bed. Her bed time does not coordinate with ours but I guess since she started work she does need to go to bed early. We have tried to get it through her head that 3am is play time but she seems a little slow. We will keep working with her on this, it is very important because morning pate' cans need to be opened no later than 6 am and very often she is late and sometimes doesn't open them until 5 minutes before she leaves for her job. This is a problem because she often isn't back to clean the morning barfs for hours. She doesn't seem to understand we like to keep a clean house and we often do morning barfs not just on the floor but in out favorite chairs and the bed. She is only making it harder on herself because it can take many hours of evening play time cleaning the furniture and bedding.

We do all enjoy our girl but she is very disobedient and occasionally we have to bop her on the nose or give her a little bite. She loves playtime but does get a little overbearing thinking that bellyrubs are an approved activity, which they certainly are not! We did avoid one big problem by adopting a senior lady so there is no chance of babies, which is very important since she does like to socialize outside the home and sometimes will drag stray mens home. We try to keep it to a minimum as she and the mens are very loud. The stray mens also hog the whole bed and she refuses to tell them they have to leave until well after morning pate's. Oh well she is new to our house and we will give her time to learn to rules.
