My Musings

I have had a lot of time to sleep and think over the weekend so I thought I would share some of my musings with you….

Cats
I am a greyhound, I was bred to chase small furry animals, even though I wasn’t very good at it. But in my family we have two cats, and being part of a family means that you don’t eat each other. Not ever. Not even by accident. Not even if one of those cats happens to be snack sized and a pain in the bum.
Why would anyone want to keep a cat as a pet except to chase it sometimes? I am hoping that Mum will see my side of the argument soon.

Baths
What is it with humans and baths? No sooner have I rolled around and got myself smelling good, they go and give me a bath! It probably wouldn’t be so bad except that I get covered with something called shampoo, which smells of hideous things like lemon grass, mint, and tea tree. Why hasn’t anyone invented shampoo that smells of nice things like fox poo and greyhounds armpits?

Water
Around our house we have several sources of water, and I have a special bowl stand in both the kitchen and the garden, both of which contain bowls filled with water which comes from the tap. But there are also other bowls, often referred to as ‘toilets’, which have water in them too. Why don’t humans ever drink from the toilet, and why does my Mum close the lid so I can’t drink from there either?

Beds
I have lots of beds, which is exactly how it should be. But why do the humans only have one bed? It is their house so they could have beds everywhere if they wanted to. Also when they go to bed they just get in and lie down, no turning round and round and scratching the covers into a nice lump. Clearly they don’t know much about sleeping at all!

The fridge
In our house we have a big silver cupboard called the ‘fridge’. The fridge is a very special place where lots of good things are kept like black pudding, ham and other tasty morsels. When humans go to the fridge sometimes they get out the nice things, like black pudding, but sometimes they get stupid things out like tomatoes. If you have the choice, why would you choose tomatoes over black pudding?

Eating
No matter how good their food is, humans never eat properly. They always leave lots of tasty bits on their plates, because they don’t lick them. In the interests of cutting down on waste I have offered to help with this along with removing any surplus cat food that hasn’t been eaten within 10 minutes of it being put out… It is very important not to leave any food lying around!
