Entries in a cat's diary:
Day 183 of my captivity ... My captors continued to taunt
me with
bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat,
while I am forced to eat dry cereal.
The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the
mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to kill my
captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking
almost
succeeded. Must try this at the top of the stairs.
In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors,
I once
again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair. Must try this
on their bed.
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in
an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try
to
strike fear in their hearts. They only cooed and condescended
about
what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was
placed
in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise
and
smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement
was
due to my powers of inducing "allergies." Must learn what this is and
how to use it to my advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches.
The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to
return.
He is obviously a half-wit.
The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. She
speaks
with them regularly. I am certain she reports my every move. Due
to
her current placement in the metal container, her safety is
assured.
But I can wait; it is only a matter of time.
