A Cat’s (Tail)

Hi, my name is Cam. But my humans call me Kitty.

I have no tail, but that’s okay. I don’t mind.

The adoption papers say that I’m a “manx.” My mom doesn’t know if I was born a manx or not.

Neither do I. I was too young to remember.

Let me show you around my territory.

The couch is where I like to sleep during the day. Sometimes I sleep like this.

Other times I sleep like this.

Here is where my food appears, if I sit next to it and make enough noise.

Here is where I take out my frustrations.

Here is where I go when I want to be alone.

This is rat-bird, my favorite toy. Its tail feathers were very tasty.

This is my adopted sister Ruby. She’s okay.

I like to help Mom with her work sometimes.

But making biscuits is my passion.

It can be a violent passion.

I have to keep an eye out for intruders.

Ruby isn’t very helpful.

When I have free time, I help Mom redecorate the apartment.

Reorganizing the kitchen cabinets is my latest project. I like to work on this one while Mom is away.

She tends to get in my fur about it.

Sometimes I wonder about the world outside.

But my few excursions haven’t been very enjoyable.

I’m much happier in my domain.

Well this has been exhausting.

Hope to see you all again. I like meeting new humans. But now, it’s time for a nap.
