Chapter 13 Cats DO have 9 lives

I'm not talking about the Delicious cat food, you know the name, but you know after I got hurt, I just rested for a day, I was hungry, I do admit, but now my leg is all better!  I'm running, jumping but not really fighting anymore.  I think that I'm done with that.  It is too painful!  I feel like I'm a brand new cat! It's like getting a new life. now that I know what it is to have to hop around on three legs, I'm glad I have all four! How can you humans make do with only two? It must be very uncomfortable. I'm just saying.

I don't really like cold weather I have decided.  I can't get out when I see my breath in the morning. what am I supposed to do? Shiver when I try to jump into the trash?  I don't need to.  There are more than enough garbage bags to go though, I prefer to sit in the sun, get my paws warmed up and then start the day.  Why are these humans always vroomming around in those vrumm thingys?  I walk, thank you very much!  Well, now that I have the use of all my four legs, it is much easier!
What?  You like to go places?  Why?  I like to stay right here.

So, hey, give me a pet!   Most cats in Jerusalem have learned not to like you humans. They think that we are dirty and only play in the trash.  In the US it is the squirrel's job to do that and if you are sitting on a park bench, you had better watch out for your sandwich! They will grab it away and run up a tree before you can take another look.  Well, us cats, we don't like sandwiches.  We like tuna, and I have never seen a tuna get up and run, but no matter.  

So we cats provide a real service to humans.  I know of an apartment building that each apartment feeds the cats for a week, and then it goes to the next apartment. This is good for us cats, and it is hard to hunt mice and rats on an empty stomach. You think that I hunt only to eat?  Naaa, I like to hunt for the sport.  Then I eat.  But the chase is the fun part.  You can't have a growly stomach to go get a mouse.  They can hear if your stomach growls, and then they run away and it spoils the fun! 

Soooooo you humans should be nice to us cats, and when I come around, I like to be scratched behind the ears.  Just remember that, OK?  A little milk, or tuna won't hurt either.  

See ya around! Mrow
