“I’m off Mrs. Human.”
“Where are you going?”
“I am not sure until I get there, but I will return.”
“Ok, but be careful.”
“Of course I am careful, especially when I have a bowl of loving tuna fish waiting for my return.”
“And what about me? I am also loving and wait for your return.”
“Of course you do Mrs. Human, you have been trained to care for my wishes. Just do not forget the tuna fish.”
“Is that all I mean to you, food?”
“No, not really, just tuna fish. Food covers too many meanings which are not mine. Food for you is also healthy vitamin pellets. I prefer something that moves, or once moved, to know it is worth eating. Vitamin pellets never breathed, or moved.”
“But all the loving care I give you.”
“That is self explanatory, and now again I also give you a lick and a scratch to leave my marks of possession.”
“I though that was out of love.”
“Think what you want Mrs. Human, if it makes you happy. Just make sure that my bowl is full when I return. I might even allow you to give me a tummy tickle, if you do everything right. If I was a dog I would pee on you to show my admiration.”
“No Tabby, you do not have to go that far, just a loving hiss does the job. And be back before it gets dark outside.”
“Humans are funny creatures – what’s dark?”
“a loving hiss…” Yes, Tabby. You have Mrs Human right where you want her. You are wonderful.–Teemu and Parker.

I passed my feline “know your human” examination with top marks. My opinion is often called for with difficult human cases. Just lately I had a call from the White House in the States.

Dear Tabby, my human made it impossible for you to read her blog which was about me and really, I wrote it for you! Lovingly yours forever and ever, Dusty T. Dog

No problem Dusty – with the application of my telepathic waves I could read it all the same. For a feline nothing is forbidden, we see all, but do not tell your human, let her remain in her belief that she has everything under control – they like it that way.

How true!
I have a Calico feline. Is she a “diva”? Of course. Does she tell me what flavors she wants for her treats everyday? Of course! Felines are just that way no matter if female or male. That’s why you always see a grin on their face like the Cheshire Cat in Alice of Wonderland. 😺

Felines also have their own tastes. Tabby quite likes a potato chip. One of my ex felines ate everything. They all liked yogurt and ice cream. But fish is the favourite any time. And there are the treats – but there is a ceremony attached. You have to throw the treat and then tabby pounces just to make sure it is dead before she eats it.
