I’m thinking of getting a cat.

The dog won’t like it, of course… but that, just at present, is fine.

I have a few requirements from this prospective new member of the household. First and foremost, it must be illiterate. It is bad enough having to compete with the dog for reviews, and the fan mail is all hers too.

    Hahah 😀 Loved this! We have two dogs and my daughter just got a kitty a few months ago. It’s a mad house, but it’s so FUN!

    Loved it, Sue. Especially the cat washing instructions. I know several dogs who would love to issue those instructions to their cat owners.

    You never know, Sue. Ani may love a cat-buddy. I wouldn’t recommend the toilet bath though, and give up on the idea of cat’s eating broccoli 😀

    I was quite concerned at first but then saw the signature. Great post, Sue. Even Toby barked at it. Considering he is terrified of cats I think he thinks Karma has paid them a visit for all the times they’ve crept up and scared him out of his fur.
