Property of Charlie the Cat

8/20/22

     Hello. I'm Charlie. And I'm a cat(a male. Definitely not a female). I have a pretty easy-going life. My owners are a crazy family, but I've learned to cope with it.

 The biggest one is a male, he's gentle most of the time. He stays in this room where there are computers(I think that's what it's called), tables, and papers. I sleep on his chair sometimes. 

Then there's the second biggest one. She's sort of awesome when it comes to calling the shots. She bothers me some though. 

There's also the teenaged female. She locks herself up in her room sometimes, but during the night, I always come and comfort her. She dyed her hair the same color as my fur. 

Then there is the smallest one. She is gentle all the time. I think she likes almost everyone. I like her second best. Besides the big one. 

     I live in paradise. I have a great cat condo, I have a loving family, I even have lots of toys! But I always have that feeling, y'know. The one that says, "What's out there? Maybe you should go and check it out. What's the worst that could happen?" But then there's that other feeling that says, "You have a great life right here. What if you ruin your happiness forever?" I have no idea. So when my humans let me out on me leash, I always think about taking it off and going to explore the world. 

     Now that I've made my point, I'm going to tell you more about myself. I'm a tabby-mix(at least I think that's my breed). I am yellow with white stripes on my tail, the part between my belly and my nose is also white. And I have white paws too. 

I really love going outside. My humans got me a harness and a leash just so they could take me.

I also like to watch television. All the humans moving around and talking like they just don't care. I like to watch the news. Some of the time, there are explosions. It's super cool to watch, I wonder if I can touch it. 

I also HATE baths. The water always bugs me, it's either too hot or too cold, it's literally never the right temperature. When the larger female does it, I get scrubbed with something called soap. 

     Today I went outside. I was going to chase a bird, but then the little one came to take me back inside. Ooooooh, Savory Salmon flavor this time. Yummmm. I hear a thud and I ignore it. It's probably just something stupid, like last time. The biggest human was building something, and it fell. It's so annoying. I continue eating my lunch. 

It's time for my afternoon nap. I sleep on the top floor of my cat condo and fall asleep. 

     "Ugh. You are so annoying!" yelled the human with the yellow-ish hair. I wake up with a little meow. 

"That's because you STOLE it first!" shouted the little one. They're arguing again. Happens almost everyday at dinner. Ooooooh, DINNER!!! The biggest female claps her hands at me and says softly, "Dinner, Charlie." I stretch and follow her to my bowl. My bowl is my most prized possession. It's shaped like a bear. The little bear has googly eyes. I wonder if I'll ever get to meet an actual bear in my life. Maybe the humans will get me one. Alas, the googly eye bear is the best I have. For now.
