Just sayin'...

[desperance]

It's at times like these - when Mac is sitting in the shadows of the corner, on the printer, which is quite a formidable thing in itself; and when he's crouched and staring at me, and looking a little sinister and a little demonic and frankly pretty scary to a nervous type like me - it is at times like these, I say, that I like to remind myself that actually he's only waiting these last few minutes until it's bedtime, so that he can come through to the bedroom with me and we can play stupid games with a raggedy-chewed piece of string. For lo, he is not really the Emperor of Evil after all. He is an idiot.

Miaow ! MIAOW! Swipe ! Clunk!

Dear Mac,

Just because we are evil feline rulers of the universe does not mean that we do not enjoy the full protection of the Working Time legislation. We are entitled to time off to chase bits of string, kill cute mice and exterminate laser pointer dots .

You must resist firmly all attempts by your tin opener to restrict your social and leisure opportunities. Minor offences may be dealt with at local level; often a hard glare is sufficient to restore a recalcitrant ownee to obedience .

If your tin opener fails to perform , then we suggest that you contact your Union representative before escalating disciplinary procedures and particularly before initiating DMS (Dead Mouse in Slipper) or TUB (Tactical Urination on Bed).

I am about to depart on a safari holiday to next door's garden, but please do not hesitate to address any queries you may have about this communication to my secretary, Minerva .

Fraternal greetings

Love this post, Chaz.

Since I'm reading this in the early morning, just after getting to work, I can agree that it is a comfort to know that the three or four sharp-fanged obligate carnivores hanging over one like vultures first thing in the morning just want a monkey to go and place kibble in dishes so they can eat properly, instead of knocking the cat food canister over and trying to try the lid off on their own. Not, of course, that anything like that's happened to me recently. Oh, no.

What makes you think he can't be both? Don't you read the papers? (Oh, right, no, you don't. Take my word for it, then).
