OK, I just need to vent here for a minute. I have hijacked Dee's mind and her hands in order to spread my message to the world and my message is this:
I am NOT Little Red Freakin' Riding HOOD!
I am a feline member of the household and I deserve RESPECT.
Am I to be dressed up like a doll? Am I to be forced to play a role in a small child's Theatre of the Absurd?
NO.
Do I appear to be HAPPY about this red thing I am wearing?!? Do you read "contented" in my expression?! No?
Well here's a suggestion. Next time your child tries to dress up her cat, STOP HER. In the name of all that is holy, yank the little doll dress or tiny drag queen wig-from-hell or the Santa hat or the cunning nightmare halloween costume OUT of her grubby little hand and talk to her about how wrong it is to assume a cat is anything other than a
Feline Deity
Because really, that's what we are. In ancient Egypt cats were given great respect.
"Cats were held in such high esteem that at one point, the penalty for killing a cat-even accidentally-was death."
