HI Cotton here.  I heard Mum and the neighbor talking about this thing called a cat.  Someone dumped it.  It is very pretty with long hair.  Mum named it Whiny cuz it meows all the time.  It makes a wow sound and a meo with a pur too.  The neighbor feeds it and Mum brushes it.

Well the other day Mum brushed and petted this pretty long haired thing called a cat. She even rubbed this thing with her foot.

You know how I know.  Cuz Mum came in the house sat on her couch with her foot on the floor.  I caught a funny smell and went to get further info on this odor.  Hmmm it was coming from Mum’s foot.  What the hay?  I got mad and boxed and grunted at her leg.  Boy did Mum pick up that leg but fast.. 

Another day Mum had come back in from petting and brushing that thing called a cat.  She was petting me.  I started smelling that funny smell again.  I took another breath stopped Mum from petting me and took a bunch of big whiffs of her hand then her arm.  OH was I mad.  I grunted and boxed her arm and hand. 

Mum got up and ran to the faucet washing herself up to the elbows with lots of soap.  She came to pet me again and that nasty cat smell was gone.

Hey wait I think I know what a cat is.  Someone had given Mum a cat a long time ago when Laith was still with us.  It was under the bed and I went under the bed.  It swiped it’s paw at me and I got so scared I ran to the living room banging my self on stuff.  Mum hurried up and caught me and calmed me down.  Within minutes the cat was gone.  Mum gave it back.  It swiped at Laith too.  So Mum made up her mind real quick no more cats. 

Yes thats what those things are.  They smell funny and have claws on their toes. And big teeth.  They make a lot of noise too.  Nope dont’ want no cats I say Mum no cats in here.  No dogs either.  The best part Mum obeys me.  I just love my Mum

What I can’t figure is why she is petting and brushing this thing.  Especially since I don’t like them.  Plus she can pet me all she wants instead of that ol cat. Well being brushed isn’t very exciting but yes pet me instead.
