Hey there, Beau! Allow me to congratulate you on your extraordinary slave training technique! You are most certainly a credit to catdom and a hero to kitties everywhere. Sometimes these hoomins can be so stubborn and hard to train. I have Meowmie securely wrapped around my paw. She now understands that what's mine is mine and what's hers is mine. She even understands that, even though she pays the rent and bills, this is MY house and I let her live here. There are still a few minor things to work out. Meowmie still has to learn that she cannot look at the newspaper if I decide to take a nap on it and instead of chasing me out of the kitchen while she's cooking, it's my duty to supervise and when I feel like it do a taste test. Though I must admit Meowmie does give me a taste of fried chicken when they have it for dinner. But all we kitties must remember one very important thing, in spite of their short comings and decidedly inferior intelligence, our hoomins do love us very much. I guess once in awhile we should cut them a break.

Your friend,
Groucho
