Dear George
I am only a kitten but it seems to me that you have missed the point. We cats should encourage cat addiction. Cat addicts love cats. They run their lives round cats. They buy expensive food for cats. They share their houses, their beds, the very food on the table sometimes, with cats. Isn't that a good thing?

Dear Tic,
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings comes truth. Yes, of course, cat addiction is a good thing for most cats most of the time. Without cat addicts where would we be? I mean Celia is one. But, I guess, what I am saying is that there is a point when cat addiction, ie like animal hoarders, starts harming the cats themselves. Most humans enjoy a little, or even a lot of cat addiction. It's just when it gets out of hand.
So I thought I would do a little quiz for your humans to answer.
ARE YOU A CAT ADDICT?
1. Do you spend more on your cats than yourself?
2. Did you choose your flat/house because it would be good for your cats?
3. Have you ever said no to an invitation because you didn't want to leave your cats?
4. Have you ever turned down the possibility of a relationship because he/she didn't like your cats or didn't like cats in general.
5. Do you think of your cats more than ten times a day?
6. In the last week have you bought any of the following - a)cat treats. b) cat bed. c) cat toy. d) specially expensive cat food as a treat
7. Do you fix your cats arrangments for holidays/vacations before you fix your own. For instance do you book the cattery or the cat sitter and only after that fix the travel arrangements?
8. Do your cats sleep on or in the bed?
9. Do your cats sit on the table while you are eating?
10. Have you ever turned off the TV because you thought your cat wouldn't like the programme or turned to a programme because you thought your cat would enjoy it.
11. Do you have cat pictures/photos/ornaments in the house?
12. Are most of the cards you receive cat themed?

Har Har, both my humans scored 12!
ReplyDeleteThat's it puny humans, you stay there, nice and still, right under my mighty, ruling, highly addictive paw =^..^=
Hmmm, I guess I am not cat addicted, but that's probably because I don't have a cat right now.
ReplyDeleteMy Momma is definitely addicted, but that's all good for me :)
ReplyDeleteMy beans are cat addicted!!! YAY!
ReplyDeleteHello George,
ReplyDeleteI am not a cat addict but cats do seem to like me and I don't mind them.
I have saved a few cat lives just by being the right place at the right time.
And spookily at important times in my life a grey cat will often appear.
Your coat is Sooo like mine George. Do we have the same hair dresser?
