Dear Bubbles,
A new cat has recently wandered into my house. The humans are acting weird and keep her behind a closed door, but I can smell her. I’m upset and confused. Are they going to like her more than me? I sit by the door everyday and hiss, but that seems to make the humans mad. Cat to cat, what should I do in this situation?

Dear Foxy,
That sounds rough. I'm sorry you have to share your confined indoor space with a mysterious outdoor cat. While the situation may be uncomfortable and uncertain, I'd recommend trying to make the most of it. If the humans are keeping her behind a closed door then they must recognize that this other cat's presence upsets you. It's likely they are trying to keep the peace as much as possible. Take advantage of this! Act a little more aloof than normal, nap in hidden places, and turn your nose up at your food on occasion. This will worry the humans and they will likely pay more attention to you. Humans are curious creatures - the more you ignore them, the more they become interested in you. It's almost cat-like. Sometimes I think they might even have souls.
I hope this helps. Please keep me updated on the situation.
XOXO,
Bubbles
P.S. Foxy sent a photo of herself, which I included below. Please don't be too disappointed that it's not a photo of me. It really was such a pleasure hearing from Foxy. If she's so inclined to keep in touch, I'd be delighted.
LOL!!
