Every ting be fine here at Rikki's - grandma been teaching
me about paper work ..... I think I no like paper work ... it be icky and
boring ... I rather be writing to you
everyday and telling you all bout me and my friends!!! But grandma says da paperwork has to be
done or dar be no Rikki’s.
Today I am learning about sticky tape. I don't like this
sticky tape. I've been trying for almost an hour to get one piece off that
stupid roll. It keeps sticking to my fingers. This is gross. I don't see why
this has to be part of "paperwork".
She who abuses cat labor laws says I have to learn sticky tape
to "fix" paperwork. Well maybe that be good, cus dis paperwork sure
seems to keep multiplying. There be paperwork here and paperwork there and even
more over there. If it go to speuter clinic and then there be less, that be
good, so I work on fixing it.
She who promises to open another can of Fancy Feast when I
can learn to get sticky tape off roll without it stuck all over my fingers,
says my scratching paperwork to shreds in my frustration is why I have to have
sticky tape lesson now. I don't know what I gonna do with all this gunk if I
ever can get it off the roll with out my fur stuck all in it. She say that be
next lesson. How many lessons can there
be to run da refuge!! Vincent sure made
it all look easy!
I hope my fingers don't get all bald from sticky tape. Do
you think this be kittah abuse? Maybe I want a new home. Will you take me? Any
my brofur Timmy. And my biological mom Nellie. And my friends Sunset, Mr.
Elliot, Velcro .... oh and I can't leave Snickers behind, even if she is a b...
(opps she who washes kittah's mouth with soap when they say bad words is right
there) .. brown tabby with orange, that making her be a torby, and sometimes a
mean kitty, but she's kind of my friend too.
Uh Oh ... too bad I all finish with sticky tape. No more on
roll !!!!! I go tell grandma ........
Oh, this not be good. She say store that trade green stuff
for cat food will trade for sticky tape too and my saved up green stuff for cat
food has to go to buy more sticky tape cuz I got my fur all stuck in it! Oh
this so no fair !!!! What you think???
Oh my!!
Did you know that there's a hospital for tractors?
Our tractor had to get "fixed" and was in the
hospital for a week. A whole week. I don't know why Grandmom wanted to fix
tractor? She always saying we need more than one tractor to do all the work
here, so why she don't want it to have baby tractors? If they don't got no
tractors at the pound we can take home, then it be ok to have baby tractors,
no? I don't get it.
And now she who thinks kitties can do everything walk in and
throw this bill on my desk, $662 for tractor to be fixed, and she say, Hey ya
Opie, here's something for you to take care of. Can you get that taken care of while I’m off spending your cat
food money on sticky tape?
That's more expensive than the speuter clinic. And what's I
spposed to do to "take care of it"?
Can you help me maybe?
And you can get double your value. I learned about double your value from my dad Vincent!! He always gotted the biggest bang for his
buck!!!
SO here’s a deal you can’t resist !!!!!
Did I say that right?
You can VOTE for ME in Cats vs Dogs AND I can pay the tractor get fix
bill!! How’s that sound? Can you help me?
What? Oh KiKi says I
always have to do fair representation.
So I have to give you the choice to VOTE for DUKE, and he said if you do
he’ll help and use that money to fix tractor too. He be nice doggie.
Thank you, it’d be so cool if tractor be all paid for fixing
a for grandma get home with more sticky tape.
Maybe then she let me have some time off and not make be work so hard in
this office!!!
Thank you for helping me to prove I am a good hard working
kittah !!!!
Tell dat Vista to come down here
and help me wif dis paperwork!!!!
