Humans

one of my humans is probably one of the stupidest humans on record. i am stuck at his den, betrayed by my other human. why this happens i cant say. the humans have physical abilities that they seem to use just because they can. would you put someone into a little box that goes into a rolling box to move him to another box. i didnt think so. it makes no sense. not even to birds i bet.

this human to tell you what he is about is not the brightest. it took him weeks of vacant stares until he understood that i want water from the water fountain. id tell him explicitly and he would just stare. sometimes he would notice that things went better once he turned on the fountain. the human has such a precarious grasp of cause and effect. cant they see how their lives bloom when cats are around.

hes iffy this one. most times hes good about the water. not consistent yet. it is baffling and amusing that he immerses himself under the giant fountain occasionally. he must be crippled in some fundamental way to let that happen. he must be very very thirsty. or sick perhaps. he puts lion awful medicines onto his body and in his mouth every day. its sad.

he does have one routine that i honestly cant conceive. he puts a snake into his mouth almost every day. his mouth somehow kills it judging by the snakes smell when its dead. he will then dangle it and i kill it proper. the human has a box of snakes he keeps in a box near the fountain. how do they do these things. it must be an instinct evolution must have taught them this. a miracle.

its not all bad.
this one is very warm and that is good. my paws are like snow most of the time. this human has richer smells than the other and has not lost the ability to hunt which seems to plague the other one. still he insists on feeding me these stale little meat bones when he often has the real thing in front of him. again i think he might be weak because he never eats kill. he changes it by drying it with heat and putting more medicine on it. there are a lot of boxes involved one very hot one very cold another full of medicines in small glass bottles. most times some mixture of these boxes go into one of the boxes and its very confusing. i dont know how he can go on like that.

another good thing. the humans understand that being together in a pile is how it works. that is the most reassuring thing. it gives me hope that they might understand some day.

i think that they must be a bit crazy because they often use their bulk to move me from their gaze. it makes me a bit queasy to watch their stunted little legs do this. maybe thats why they put snakes and medicines in their mouths. tell me how any of this makes any sense. but as our people say what are you going to do.

Poor Mr Fuzzy. I hope he knows we try our best.

I think that he does, although sometimes his patience wanes. His angry lecture today (I showered before turning on his fountain thus making him wait in the sink) prompted this post.

I never realized before how he feels sorry for me because I can't kill anything. Like the most basic skill in the cat world is missing from my toolkit! He definitely needs a youngster to share his wisdom with...
