Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

I am just trying to be helpful!!! Why don't they appreciate it???
You know what a hassle it is when they have to get up to open the door when I want to go out or when I want to go in the house?!?! So....look at what I did.....

I fixed the brand new screen door so I can go in and out on my own.

A word of gratitude??? NOT And what is this allowance that I am not going to get ever again????

Unappreciatedly,

Eddie

Oh No!!!

I don't think that your meowmie and pawpie like this kind of help.

Don't you realize that you're supposed to be an indoor only cat and if you are outdoors you have to be on your harness. Why do you want to go out any way when you have such a luxurious house to live in?

Please try to be a good boy from now on Eddie.

Now that brings back memories--that's how I ended up with Katie, only from the other side of the door. I walked onto my enclosed back porch one day to find a hole in the screen door and a pretty tuxie--plus five kittens--curled up happily in a comfy chair.

OMG!!!! Naw-tee-Eddie!!!! Does this mean Meowmie will have to buy a new screen door? I bet your cuteness has already helped you earn her forgiveness.

Poor screen door.

Sara, look at the bright side of things: it is very unlikely that Eddie comes back with 5 babies

**jenluckenbach** · 07-23-2005, 05:05 AM

They just don't make screens like they used to.

LOL! LOL! Barbara!

Oh Eddie you are just too truthful for your own good. This is not the way to impress the humans as I imagine you have already found out. You could have made up a little white lie and said that Edwina thought she saw Shirley outside and just lost her head in her frenzy to welcome her to California. Of course the humans could never be mad at Edwina for being so gracious, especially since they just had guests of their own.

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.......you aren't supposed to be a handyman! Leave all the home improvements to your purrents!

Next time, ask first.

**Randi** · 07-23-2005, 08:06 AM

Eddie, I can assure you that your mom and dad don't think you're helpful!! That hole was tiny when I visited, you must have been working hard on it.

I'm pretty sure the glass door will be locked at all times in the near future, and when the new screen door comes, it will be a different material - one you can't get through. And you can prepare yourself to get comfy inside. HA!

You're too clever for your own good, Eddie. I have seen you go out with your harness on, and come strolling back 10 min. later without it. What are they to do.

Dear Eddie,
We are so misunderstood! I think your design is very practical! Not to mention thoughful!

I myself tried to help meowmie. She has always complained how much she hates her couch. Always whining about how ugly the fabric is, and how she'd love to re-upholster it. Well, I decided to take matters into my own paws and help her take off the ugly farbic so she could put on some pretty fabric to her liking.

Now, I ask you, didn't I do a good job of starting to pull the old fabric off?

What did it get me? Weekly nail trims! I tell you.... they just don't get it! all we want to do is help make their lives easier. We want to make them happy and they just don't seem to appreciate us!

Yours in helpfullness,
Harry

Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! Your idea of helpful and your mawmee's are worlds apart! Best listen to her or you will be grounded for life!!!

**Killearn Kitties** · 07-23-2005, 12:24 PM

EDDIE!

THAT IS NOT FUNNY!

I dread to think what your daddy is going to say! Do you want to be shut up in the house with no air??!

**Cataholic** · 07-23-2005, 12:32 PM

The screen wasn't made very well, was it? Good thing Eddie brought this to the fore like he has.

**momcat** · 07-23-2005, 12:36 PM

Oh Eddie! How can such a sweet kitty be soooo nawtee? No more allowance ever again does seem a bit harsh but pawpie will have to fix that door not just to keep you safely in but to keep the creepy crawlies out. I'm sure if you tell Meowmie you're sorry things will be okay again.
