I'm NOT the boss

Surely, any devoted pussy lover out there would agree, we're NOT the boss (akala lang natin tayo ang MASTER, pero HINDI HINDI HINDI!). Our feline dahlings have a mind of their own. Unlike dogs, they are less needy of us(except when it's time to eat) and will assert their independence (even if we scream our lungs out begging for them to stay in bed a little longer than usual). Oh I'm not complaining at all. I have gracefully accepted this fact eversince I adopted Boe and Pozzy. My love and devotion form part of my retribution- a conscious act of remorse for my past cruelty(OO na, pinagdudusahan ko na ngayon ang ginawa ko noon huhuhu).

And so here's a pledge made just for my MASTERS(in atonement for my past feline cruelty).

1. I will not laugh when my master chases her tail.
2. I will be ready to play whenever my master is.
3. I will not let my master in/out "when I feel like it".
4. There must always be food in my master's dish.
5. I will graciously accept the wildlife offerings from my master.
6. I will watch where I put my big feet.
7. I will not fuss when my master is patrolling the table/kitchen counter/dresser for prey.

20. I will not come home smelling of other cats or (even worse!) dogs.

34. I will not answer the phone when I come home if I haven't fed my master yet.
35. I will *not* pet my master while she's taking her bath!!

57. I will not highlight my master's nose and ears in fashionable neon colors.
58. I will not de-flea my sister's new master in my master's bathroom and expect my master to forgive me right away.
59. I will not try to ignore my master when she comes over to join my phone conversation, because since no one else is in the room, I must be talking to her. (Who would *really* be talking to a piece of plastic anyway?)
