CAT'S RIGHTS submitted by Jackie S Brooks (UK) I AM THE CAT AND I HAVE CERTAIN INALIENABLE RIGHTS:I have the right to walk over your face anytime I wish, day or night. I have the right to observe and comment on any and all bathroom behaviour. Further, I have the right to be highly offended by any closed door. I have the right to smell your shoes to determine if you have been fraternizing or cavorting or frolicking with any highly questionable animals. I have the right to assist in any food preparation, cooking, cleaning or eating event that may occur in the home. I have the right to wake you at three in the morning if I find the contents in my food dish are not to my satisfaction. I have the right to tip over any water container I deem unsuitable for consumption. I have the right to meow at squirrels and birds that may dare to pass my windows. I have the right to inspect any grocery items that come into the home. Further, I have the right to inhabit any paper bag or cardboard box that you bring home for as long as I wish. I have the right to nap at any time and place I darn well please, without the distraction of being called or moved just because you want to sit down, wash your hands or use your computer keyboard. I have the right to assist in the changing of bed linens and to chase the phantom creatures that hide beneath the sheets. I have the right to look aloof when scolded for mistaking your toes for one of those pesky phantom creatures that hide beneath the sheets. I have the right to kill paper towel rolls that otherwise might sneak up on you at night. I have the right to sleep on top of any appliance that is warm. I have the right to your complete attention anytime you sit down to read or work. And, finally, I have the right to be loved, petted, pampered, and entertained, for, as you know, the best things in life ... purr. And, should you err in your ways, I will graciously forgive you. After all, you are only human, but I love you anyway. Signed, The CAT
