In the Spotlight
by Nosey Parker
|
As an only cat, I often wonder what it's like to have to share food bowls and sunny windows with fursibs. How does a tom manage to get and maintain control of the house and purrents? To get the answers, I turn to Tang, a tom who never looses his cool or his control.
Nosey Parker:
I see dat yew are wearing duh hat dat yew got as a finalist in duh international nipz drinking cattest at Paddy's Pub last St. Paddy's Day. Dew yew konsider it yewr lukkie hat?
Tang:
Yes, dis is definitely my lukkie hat cuz I dun drinked a bunch of cats under duh table and got picked as a finalist in duh cattest. I kin drinks any cat under duh table any day any purrlace.
Nosey Parker:
Yewr meowmie sez dat yew haf "a bad disposition,
especially when he's being photographed....." Dat muss
make yew furry purroud. What tipz and trickz can yew
share wif ovfur tomz trying to earn a bad repurrtayshun?
Watt haf yew done dat most disgusted yewr meomie?
Tang:
Yes I iz furry purroud of my bad disposition. Any
tomz wantin tew earn
a bad repurrtayshun shud rememfur tew always growl, hiss,
an spit regular
like if dey wants tew be in charge of fings. I always spit
cuz it makes
everyone respect me an gives me what I wants. Dey no I
don't take nufin from
nocat.
I haf done disgusted my meowmie by spittin and
refusin tew pose for
duh dumb pikshures she is always makin us take. Duh gurlz
in da furmily just
sit an purr and make fools of demselfs. But I will not be a
fool in a stupid
pikshure for anyone, not even meowmie. Duh worst fing I haf
ever done was
bite meowmie and claw her fer not puttin me down when I
didn't wanna be held
no more. All dat fussin over me and huggin me is just plain
disgustin! So I
bit her. She got furry upset wif me but she put me down in
a hurry!
Nosey Parker:
Duz yew set aside tyme evfurryday too teech gross
and disgusting tomz behaffur two duh ovfur tomz in yewr
furmily? Watt are sum of duh tings yew bad boyz haf dun
to yewr sisfurs?
Tang:
Yes, I does. SnowPuff is duh most difficult tew teach
becuz he likes
to fawn up tew meowmie. I has tew teach him tew be less
sweet. Duh younger,
newer memfurs of da furmily haf been much easier tew teach
as dey iz not set
in dere wayz yet. Patches has caught on furry fast and I iz
proud of how
naughty and disgustin he has learnt tew be.
We also like tew steal duh food
outta our sisfurs and
momfurs food dishes. (Keedie is our momfur, but she's not
REALLY my momfur
for real, she adopted me kinda. Misty is my adopted sisfur
and a real pain.
She kin be almost as mean as a tom! So I bez mean rite
back!) We haf hissing
and spitting matches wif da gurlz in our house all duh
time.
Nosey Parker:
Duz yew share duh litterbox wif ovfurs? Duz yew
boffur to cover watt yew dumps? Scatter litter arown
duh howse?
Tang:
Yes, I has tew share a litter box wif ovfurs. I never
cover my poops
and I scatter duh litter all over de place.
We tomz haf done pulled all duh poops outta our litter boxes and purrlayed wif dem on de floor, battin dem around like balls. mol! mol! Meowmie gits so disgusted wif us fer doin dis. But we keeps doin it anyways.
Nosey Parker:
I unnerstan dat a d*g was yewr surrogate muffur. Du
duh ovfur tomz (Patches, Boo Boo, Snowpuff, Yogi) haf
gude relayshunships wif d*gs? Some katz like too play
trix on d*gs. Dew enny of mew du dat?
Tang:
Yes we does haf gude relayshunships wif dogs. Brownie
and Newman is
okay guyz in my book and I don't purrlay no trix on dem.
Dey don't deserve
to be treated bad. Dey iz gude guyz. Misty is always being
mean tew dem cuz
dey takes our side in fings. So we don't bother dem dogs at
all. I kin
honestly call dem my buddiez.
And it iz true dat a dog was
a surrogate
momfur tew me when I waz a kitten. She done lost her pups.
Dey died and she
adopted me. I waz furry young and missed her after she
died. She treated me
gude so I haf never hated dogs duh way most cats dew.
None
of duh cats in
our house hate dogs except Misty. She's just plumb mean.
Nosey Parker:
Dat Misty is furry purrty. Iz she a prissy, stuckup
gurl? Duz she try too blame yew boyz fur evfurryting
she kan git away wif?
Tang:
Boy iz she efer stuckup, prissy and altogether mean!
She will blame us
guyz fer everfing, whether it's our fault or not! She picks
on us all de
time and we don't git no peace from her!
Nosey Parker:
I hatez to haf my pikfur taken, tew, and goez into
my seekrut hiding playce whenevfur I seas a kamra. Dew
yew haf a sekrut hiding playce? Haf yew evfur skeered
yewr meowmie reel bad becuz she thowt yew wuz lost wen
yew wuz jusst hiding?
Tang:
Yes, we haf boxes in duh basement of our house for
storage and I go
down dere and hide in dem when da kamra is coming (also
when duh vaccume
monster comes out). I haf several sekrut hiding boxes I
luff to hide in. I
haf skeered meowmie lotsa times wif my hiding. She's always
finking I might
haf run out duh door when she can't find me. But I come out
when I'm gude an
ready tew.
Patches is duh only won of us tomz who don't run
from duh vaccume
monster. He spits at it and even went so far as tew hit it
wif his paw! He's
furry brave.
Nosey Parker:
Duz yew haf a wink? If sew, how did yew meet?
Tang:
Oh, yes, I iz happily wedwinked tew my luffley Molly.
We met by being
interduced by Madam Troublinski. She seed in her krystil
ball dat we waz
meant tew be tewgether and she waz really rite! We iz furry
happy tewgether.
Molly likes tew ride on duh back of my motorcycle wif me. I
iz a memfur of
duh Desfurrados Bikers Klub.
Nosey Parker:
Watt a romantikul way to beez intrewduced. Tanks fur agreeing tew be infurvued. I haf werked up a big appurtyte and bet yew haf, tew. Wye don't we take our wedwinks fur a nice meal at Duh Lobster?
