Be the Judge and Jury

[catnapper]

The cats in my household are claiming to be abused. They say that they are receiving cruel and unusal punishment when they have done no wrong.

Well, they HAVE been bad, but I'm guilty for making them that way -- they all have gotten overly "fluffy"

Exhibit A - Harry is looking like he could play a pumpkin this Halloween


I switched their food from store bought food to prescription to help out my three crystal guys. The other four are going along for the new food ride. In addition to the new food, I am reducing the number of feedings a day. They no longer get fed when I wake up, nor do they get fed when I come home from work. They really only ate because it was routine, and Callie ended up eating half of what was left.

Next post will contain the Prosecution's argument

But everybody is screaming about aboose. They want a trial. So they agreed to allowing me plead both our cases and let PTers make the verdict and recommend a sentence if I am found guilty.

Dear members of PT, we are the kitties of catnapper's household. We put up with a lot in our lives.... a big crazy dog and a hyper 5 year old are our main stressors in life. We turn to food as a comfort. We look forward to our daily feedings. We have learned to bond with the hyper 5 year old simply because he gives us treats. Now the defendant wants to take that away from us? Wouldn't that be the definition of cruel?

We also feel neglected. If anything, the defendant is guilty of gross neglegence. She hears our pleas of hunger. She sees our earnest looks of absolute starvation. Yet she chooses to ignore our plight on a daily basis.

Yes, we have gotten a little round. Hasn't everybody? We purrsonally feel round and fluffy kitties are very sttractive and we should not be discriminated against.

Please, find it in your hearts to render a guilty verdict and give us our food back. Thank you.

Dear friends, you have heard a very heartfelt story from the Prosecution. what they did not point out is the fact that the cats are not hungry. They often beg for food when there is already food left in their bowl from the begging session hours earlier. Whatever bowls the "crazy dog" (as they so called my sweet Callie) can get, she will knock off the table and eat herself.

They also forget to mention that on a daily basis, they are happy, loved, and well cared for. The following photos are marked for your consideration

Ladies and gentleman of the jury, I hope you see the photos for what they are: photos of happy and content cats. There is absolutely no aboos. I am confident you will render a not guilty verdict. Thank you

I am afraid my dear kitties I cannot see too much abuse. And Harry- I remember when you were a baby- I am sure you can go back to being a handsome and slender young man. Just imagine how much more mischief you can create once you lose a little of that fluff

You have a lovely bunch of kitties! I remember when you brought Mikey, Mystic & Trixie into the group. I think they're all boo-tiful (as your signature states).

Jingle Belle is a fluffy kitty, too. She's always been bigger, she doesn't eat more than Charlie (he, in fact, eats a lot more than she does but he looks so much thinner!) but she is just a fluffy kitty. My vet said some kitties are just fluffy.

Well I don't see any abuse at all. All I see are happy and content cats. I also have to watch my Ziggy's weight and I just tell her that she's on a permanent diet and it's for her own good because I love her and I want her to live a long happy and healthy life. I think that portion control is needed and what they don't finish needs to be put away for later. They'll soon learn to eat everything you give them each time. Good luck.
