Dear Tabby,

I need help. I thought I had a wonderful life. I was adopted about 6 years ago by a nice couple. I live in a house with lots of soft places to sleep and a fenced backyard with lots of critters to watch (and chase occasionally!) I am well fed and I THOUGHT, well loved. The only wrinkle in my life until recently was periodic visits from my canine cousins. I had learned to cope, trained them to be respectful.

Then it happened…a boy cat appeared in my house. Long legged, big-earred, pink-nosed. He talks ALL the time. He has been in my basement since he arrived and I make darn sure he stays there! My poppa seems to be especially crazy about him and calls to him and ask him to come upstairs where I live.

I HATE him (the boy cat, not my poppa!) My furless ones tell me he can be a friend for me. I already have plenty of male attention ---JJJ3, Butter(cup), Moo, Tigris, Fister, Mishu. Why do I need any more????

Please Tabby, what can I do to make him go away????

Frustratedly,

Edwina

p.s. Why does my poppa keep saying I am a female dog???
