My war at home... mostly with the ginger pest!

As always being helpful by holding the wall for humit!

 

 

Things are not going well at the moment at home. You see I'm currently at war with the ginger pest, the 'Boy' as humits often call him...because apparently he is the only male in our home (well the male humit is not really counting...my humit says anyway!).

So because he is the only 'boy' he has also found a way to work the humits so they do whatever he wants them to do and these days he is getting very pampered and he has become a spoiled brat if you want my opinion...I mean he gets away with meowrder, with anything...and this mean one thing...the war has started.

Now it's getting very purrsonaly ... he is far too pampered and he has taken far too many liberties. I mean he even has humit2 (the not counting male that is)..handfeeding him, holding the plate at the right angle for him to eat in comfort (grrr the pest!). Not only he is allowed to sleep on the bed but I even saw humit holding his paw so he would go to sleep(how pathetic, a disgrace to the Felis catus species..especially having also to listen to humits going 'ahhh' the purr furbaby...yeah right no sympathy from this kitty here...as I know that he is only playing the humits and tries to get them on his side....). Nope this has gone too far and now it's war...I'm not letting him getting away with anything and most importantly he is not getting my top spot...I'm in charge in here(of all kitties and humits) and this is not going to change anytime soon...if he wants to play dirty I'm ready for him...this kitty here always wins!

So now I'm changing my own ways to become more helpful and sympathetic towards humits...(you know sitting on humits lap and purring aways while they are allowed to scratch cheeks and chin...and looking oh so cute and of course trying to be helpful and considerate). Today was a good example when I've tried to help humit with the bed changing business (see me helping...) 

  (also watch me at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wfB1T73qJQ  )

but once again the ginger pest had the same idea and he also arrived and then he chased me off the bed...Of course humit was not very pleased with two kitties running on the just made up bed and things didn't go according to plan but at least I've tried...I have to try a little bit harder so now I'm showing my humit my little belly and being all cute and supportive while she is working...where's the ginger pest now? Upstairs on the clean bed snoozing. One nil to me thank you I win today's battle, he, he...meoooow to me!

Sooo tiring watching humit working...can keep eyes open!

I'm here to provide moral support to humit...with my eyes closed...so tired!

Some facts about...me

 

 

 

A very intellect kitty here..ponders on important questions? Where's dinner?

Well today I've decided to talk a bit about myself, being a good representative of my species, Felis catus (well, Sheng Chi for simplicity), why I'm so special and my humits adore me (yes you do humits, you know you do...I'm the most important thing in your life and you'll always make me your priority, especially when it comes to my feeding schedule...me first...the other two last!)...Anyway what I was saying? Oh yes how unique and important I'm really, I am...You see humits believe (seriously, they do) that they are the best species that has ever appeared on this planet (and even, some, also believe that they are the best species that is to be found on the entire universe, and the whole world has evolved around them....he, he so silly...excuse me for a minute while I'm recovering from my laughing fit...yes kitties can laugh...in their own way...). Anyway no matter how disillusioned humits might be often they use their command of vocal sounds to make their point of how clever they are (as well as the fact that they have opposable thumbs...which is not the best example really why we, kitties, on the other hand have many paws and retractable claws which we can use for our own advantages, to train our humit servants to use their opposable thumbs to provide us with a lot of services..food mainly, scratching behind the ears and under the chin or areas that are really hard to reach with your tongue, cleaning our litter tray, etc to name just a few!).

But when it comes to their vocal communications they seem to forget how vocal we have become ourselves since we were domesticated over 9000 years ago (humits think) by humits or in reality as we, kitties, know too well, we've decided to live with humits because we thought that their lives would vastly improve with our presence and we figured out that you were so easy to please and train than any other available species on this planet at that time (don't worry humits...you still are). We now have a very rich repertoire of vocal sounds and we often meow or 'talk' to you to tell you what we need and what you can do to please us and despite the fact that you can't really learn our own language(how hard could it be for clever humits, really!) we still manage to communicate just fine. Of course we still let you speak to us in your silly humit language with the real annoying granting noises you are making but unconsciously you have being well trained by us to fully understand us. Time and a lot of practice and patience from own part has made you quite adequate to understanding us. For example I use my different meows to let my humits know when I'm hungry, when I need attention, when I want to sit on my chair while a humit is occupying it, when my litter tray needs attention after I've being, when I'm in the mood for playing...when you are not supposed to do anything else than play with me...when I don't want to be bothered by you or else, etc...There are many meows for many occasions...a very rich kitty vocabulary I would say...

As for these silly humit who come up with these silly ideas, see at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1350168/Dont-sleep-pet-catch-something.html#comments ....what else is to say but totally nonsense? Some humit subspecies need a lot of evolving to reach our own level and to communicate and understand us...as my humits say....humits that go outside carry more harmful microbes than kitties that live permanently indoors and they should always wash hands and even change clothing before they consider coming into close contact with us! Yeap meow to that!

A little new year meowing!

Silly humit to say that I need to lose  some weight...what belly?

Well holidays have a big impact on us kitties too you know...when our humits are becoming lazy and lethargic because they don't have to do much over the holiday period just eat and sleep which of course affect us too...You see we kitties are tuned with our humits emotions and what they are feeling we usually feel it too...so when they are bored and tired we are feeling bored and tired too without actually having eaten as much as they have.. well, usually! It's scary how much humits can change in a short space of time just a couple of weeks...take away their routine and suddenly they become totally different humits...A lesson to be learned here humits..change of routine is bad for all creatures...humits included!

But being bored and not doing much...even forgetting to feed us and to play with us on a regular basis is half the problem...The worst thing is this new thingi which they call New Year's resolutions that causes a lot of problems...in my opinion it causes havoc to our routines...you see humits sometimes listen to voices in their heads...which they called consciousness (you see they've never figured out how to ignore those voices like we do...) and which appear to be stronger and more convincing after they have done things that they normally won't do other times of the year...and these voices tell them that they have eaten too much, that they are overweight and that they need to start eating healthy and less...can you believe these silly voices? So humits to make those voices stop in their heads they decide to stop eating a lot that nice food (meat and sweeties) and go on a diet and they even start eating healthy and wait for it...the worst bit is that they also decide that we, kitties, need to also eat better and less....ha, ha what a joke...I've always thought that humits are not mentally that well...they need a lot of help from professionals. So now I need to convince my humits not to listen to those silly voices in their heads but instead to listen to the voice of reason..my voice...kitty needs a lot of feeding this new year...more and nicer food...

Talking about voices of reason I've just saw this online with my humit at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12106609 and we both go rather annoyed...what a lot of rubbish I say (my humit says too...) Of course the kitty is stressed as he is faced with a predator on a regular basis...also not all cats are the same...if this kitty is OK with that doggie this doesn't mean that another kitty would also be OK with this or any other doggie...kitties like humans are individuals and not all the same or they will react in the same way under the same circumstances...doh! Of course the humit on the video doesn't seem to know much because he is dealing with doggies and not with kitties...silly humit!

We kitties know which species is the most intelligent on this planet (clue: not humits or goggies...)

Problem solving kitty at work...

What a day yesterday was...it was going to be a normal quite day, you know one of those when I'm simply trying to convince one of my humits to provide me with more nutrition than the normal portions when out of the blue humit2 got really annoyed with something she read...To be honest I don't think I've ever seen my humit having steam coming out from both ears so what she was reading must had being really bad news...

What she was reading was an article about how some silly humits did some sort of research and they found out that goggies have evolved a bigger brain because they are more social than kitties (yeah right!) while the brains of more solitary mammals such as cats, deer and rhino, grew much more slowly during the same period. According to that research we are not therefore as clever as dogs because '...dogs are quite good at solving problems, which gives credence to the traditional image of the cunning fox which is a member of the same family. Dogs descended from wolves which appear to have the biggest brains as they live in large family groups...' (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/pets/8151924/Dogs-are-smarter-than-cats.html).

Of course this is just a lot of rubbish and silly humit talk since everybody with a bit of intelligence knows that brain size doesn't really predict intelligence in a species...take a good example here, the humits themselves, they have quite big brains in proportion to their body size and who are the only species that they actually believe in their own superiority and cleverness...everybody else on this planet knows that humits are not that clever after all...a good look through history would tell you why...they are the only species that have managed to destroy the entire ecosystem of their own planet and even to destroy many of their own species members through wars and conflicts over silly and unimportant matters like ownership of land that was never theirs in the first place...(belongs to the the planet sillies, you only live here for a short period and you don't own anything not even your own bodies...as wormies and other microbes are having it after you've long gone), issues about silly humit religions and beliefs...along with other selfish and really unimportant matters...not that clever those humits after all...

As for us, well, we are the intelligent species here as we have humit servants who have trained them after years of domestication to look after us, we do what we want to and we can live our own lives without having a lot to worry about...besides we have allowed humits to take us into their homes and allow them to treat us in some cases as equal to them (I know, a bit degrading at times...) as nobody really wants to live in the wild these days and to have to hunt for food and look for shelter when silly humits can easily provide all these..Besides our brains are big enough when you compare them with what little goggies have in their place on their heads... and in the right proportion with our bodies...any bigger and we wouldn't have being able to move properly and to catch prey, with a very big head and brain...silly!

Also as my humit pointed out '...other studies have also often suggested quite the opposed ....that cats are not only very intelligent but actually having an IQ which is only being surpassed only monkeys and chimps (and humits I'd have added her myself!). Cats can think and adapt to changing circumstances and they can easily learn by observation, imitation, and trial and error (wrong humit...us kitties don't make errors...that's a humit term, we kitties never use it!) and some studies seem to have shown that cats have been shown to exhibit greater problem solving abilities than dogs and that a cat's recall can last as long as 16 hours, exceeding even that of monkeys and orangutans....the anatomy of brain of cat is very similar to the human brain, whereas the anatomy of brain of a dog is not very similar to that of a human brain. Both cats and human beings have same regions for emotion in their brain. The brain of an adult cat weighs about one percent of its body weight while the brain of an adult human being weighs about two percent of its body weight. The brain weight to body weight ratio in cats is greater in cats as compared to dogs (see long comment at:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/pets/8151921/Dogs-are-smarter-than-cats-feline-friends-disagree.html)

With other words...yes we are a lot more intelligent than dogs...and these silly humits that said otherwise need to have their own brains examined as their own brains don't seem to be working as well as ours...Meoow...humit feed me nooow...I'm hungry!

Being the alpha cat in the house...

Just holding the stairs for you humit you can come downstairs now...it's safe!

 

 

Sometimes it seems that I'm being accused for no apparent reason, simply for just is expected from me in the first place...for example I often find myself being accused by my humits of all peoplez of bullying the other two...shhish kitties who share the same environment as me and who eat most of the food that either way would have come my way anyway...shishh...pests I say!

Of course this is not true...I do not really bully anybody...kitties or humits...I'm simply looking after them, whether they like it or not! You see everybody needs somebody to look after them... for example to check anything new that comes into our home and to make certain that there are no threats involved, funny smells and flavours that is...You see humits are not really good at looking themselves properly...They tend bring home new things without a lot of thought or without properly checking them, they even allow strange other humits coming inside without actually thinking whether it is a good idea or not....and even worse they even let those other two to do whatever they want with no restrictions whatsoever, to eat a lot of my food and to use my litter boxes! Disgraceful...it is a miracle that humits in general can manage survive on their own in the wild...I guess this is why we are so important to them because they really needs us...Humits you see, need some control in their lives and this is why I'm so important and useful to them... because I tend to keep everything in order and humits in control...You see they need me to remind them when in the morning they need to get up...as they don't ever listen to their own alarm as they usually turn it off and go back to sleep...while I'm there to meow constantly till they get up...they also need to be reminded when to clean my litter boxes...again I need to meow after I've used it so they can clean it properly...to my own purrsonal standards. They also need to be reminded when it is time to feed me...so I'm always around when they are in the kitchen so they won't forget to feed me...three times a day isn't a good or practical idea for pussykitties like me who needs more frequent refilling of their food bowl than other kitties...especially those two that eat my food in my home. Of course they also need to be reminded when they have to entertain me...any time in the day or night when I'm bored and of course it is important that they do keep me entertained even if they are appear to be busy...they usually aren't...they just think they are...

So you see they really need me to be around and in charge of everything in the house, even to taste at sometimes what they eat so to make sure that they are not eating anything that they aren't supposed to...Being the alpha purrson in their day to day lives it is important especially for humits who otherwise wouldn't have being able to function properly...like my own and yours I'm sure!

Humits can be sooo silly at times....or...there are not enough kitties to educate them!

What it's supposed to do again humit?

  

Sometimes the things I hear or see on humits TV thingi really make me angry and very sad...it's really so sad that there are a lot of humits who treat their kitties friends and all other non humit but friendly species out there with cruelty like they are not creatures with feelings and their own thoughts and perhaps different awareness of their world around them...You know something humits you aren't the only species which can do intelligent thinking...the rest of the natural world can too you know....and even, at least some species, solve some of the most difficult problems you huminity kind can't...But I don't want to mention today how ignorant and silly some humits really are but simply to point out at some cases in which a bit of knowledge and education could easily have saved some kitties' lives...I mean , come on humits, you can't really allow little kitties to roam in your streets where cars and probably other humits can easily harm them...you see kitties are like your own little ones...kids or 2 legged kitties, wherever you prefer, it's all the same...they don't know much about your real world and most importantly about the dangers out there...they have no sense of fear or danger when cars are passing...or some humits want to pick them up and take them away from their homes...they are not aware that not all humits are nice or kind to all creatures...some humits are really cruel and mean. Especially those kitties that they have left their mommy and brosses and sisses at a very early age and therefore they haven't yet learned everything there is to know about their world around them...there is their humits responsibility then to teach them about the world around them before they are allowed if they will be allowed to go outside on their own. A few months old kitten doesn't understand that you can't cross a humit road when there is car coming and if that car doesn't see the kitty...well...it is sad news all way round...My humits thing that humit cities and busy villages are not places for kitties that have learned to trust humits or that they are used to an easy life indoors...especially when the kitties live close by to busy roads...As for me I like it indoors...I've never tried to ventured outside and when I put a paw or two outside I quickly went back inside again to my own and trusted home environment...really I don't want to go outside...I've got my humits who are serving me well, two other silly kitties which I keep for bullying and lots lots of toys, good views to the birdies outside to the garden...and even better snoozing places...don't need anything else...really...purrrs for now!
