An Open Letter to Mr. Ratbastard from Textured Cat Protein

Dear Mr. Ratbastard,

I appreciate you rescuing me from the Animal Shelter last month. Things were unpleasant there. My cage smelled. The food was bad. And the other cats were insolent to me.

Now that we've dispensed with the pleasantries, we need to establish some ground rules here. You're new to this cat-business. And lucky me, I get to break you in.

First of all, stop buying me all those dip-shit scratching posts, cat-nip bags, sproingy toys, rubber balls, rubber mice, etc.,

You've spent hundreds of dollars on this bric-a-brac. And what has it gotten you? Do they amuse me? Have I even acknowledged their existence? Do I ever plan to?

I think not!

I already have all the toys I need: your ChapStick tube, a Q-Tip, the draw-string from your pajamas, and my own feces.

Secondly, you will stop spraying me with the water bottle as punishment for clawing things. You don't punish me, jack-ass. I punish you. Remember that.

And if I wish to claw your furniture, your leg, your arms, or anything else that resides in my apartment, then I will do so when-so-ever it pleases me. Your efforts to dissuade me by spraying me with the water bottle will come to naught.

Asshole!

If this friendly warning is not enough to convince you, think on this... You like giving me showers? I can give showers too, mother-fucker. Although the showers I give are more of the "Golden" variety, if you know what I mean.

Lemme break it down for you. You spend approximately 9 hours per day in your apartment. During which time, you are fast asleep for approximately 6.5 hours. That means that 21.5 hours out of the day, the apartment is mine. All mine. I have free reign over this domicile and everything in it.

As such, if I want to pee all over your bed, your clothes, your lovely new couch, your antique Jacobean drop-leaf table, or anything else that exists in my apartment then I will do so.

You can't stop me if you can't see me. And unless you plan on quitting your job and staying home all day, every day, then you'd better get used to the fact that all of your shit is now mine. And I shall dispense with it as I please.

I trust this friendly warning was sufficient to convince you. I would hate to implement any of the threats laid out in this missive.

Don't try me, boy.

Signed,

Textured Cat Protein,
The New Management
