First, the humans are home all the time. I liked it in the beginning, but now it's just too much.
Then they get me high, and I wake up without most of my teeth.
Now they've taken the crunchy food from me, and I'm reduced to begging for stinky fish.
What's next? Dogs? I need to put a stop to this before it gets any worse.
I stormed into the nap chamber this morning to give the humans a piece of my mind, but they kicked me out! Kicked me out of my own nap chamber!
The only thing that makes sense in this crazy world is my love for Nemo. The vet lady said I have a weak heart, which is why I had to have two surgeries. Perhaps. But when Nemo's around, every other muscle in my body feels weak, but my heart feels strong.
I told Nemo that we should run away together - that the next time the humans open the door, I'll dash out and meet him in the scraggly bush by the white car.
He didn't respond in the way I expected - he said I should stay inside, that the world is a rough place for a toothless cat.
I told him that none of that matters as long as we're together, that love conquers all.
He told me that I have a lot to learn.
We haven't spoken since, and all of a sudden my heart doesn't feel right. Perhaps the scary vet lady was right; perhaps I'm just a toothless cat with a weak heart.
