		<title>This Town Ain&apos;t Big Enough...</title>

		<description>Lying around in the front garden, I heard them next door mention that they might be getting a rescue cat. If it isn&apos;t a rescue cat it will be when I get my paws on it! Anyway, the fools don&apos;t seem to realise that these rescue centres don&apos;t actually have any cats, they just use pictures of cute kitties to get money from gullible humans. In any case, I have a cunning plan. I have a tape of loud traffic which I&apos;ll play constantly during their &quot;interview&quot;. Let&apos;s see them get a cat then shall we?</description>

		<title>Purrfect Behaviour</title>

		<description>Did you see that silly rubbish on the BBC about &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8147566.stm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;cats exploiting humans&lt;/a&gt;? All a load of rubbish and another excuse for a university lecturer to sit at home watching telly with her cat. &lt;br/&gt;We have three simple steps to getting fed and you don&apos;t need to research it.&lt;br/&gt; (1) Purr&lt;br/&gt; (2) Meow pathetically&lt;br/&gt; (3) Stick claw in face&lt;br/&gt; Works every time!</description>

		<description>Don&apos;t think the lack of prawns, tuna and mussels hasn&apos;t gone unnoticed. I&apos;m even expected to eat this dry cat food. I hope my little reminder of what real cat food looks like will restore supplies!</description>

		<title>Whale Meat Again</title>

		<description>I&apos;m going to put in a complaint about the BBC. I refer them to their charter agreement which says: &apos;[The BBC] promotes awareness of different cultures and alternative viewpoints.&apos; So when I responded to their Magazine item: &apos;Is it time to take tuna off the menu?&apos; with a NO!, I fully expected them to print it. This is blatant anti-cat discrimination.</description>

		<title>It&apos;s Good to Stalk</title>

		<description>How dare anyone say that my stalking days are over? I may not be as prolific as I once was, but a cat&apos;s got to sleep. Anyway, my little present in the hallway should shut them up.</description>

		<title>Dinner Dinner Dinner Dinner Cat Man!</title>

		<description>This is an appeal to cat food manufacturers. Please stop making claims about your food being tasty. It isn&apos;t. Why not save us cats the effort of leaving your so called &quot;meaty chunks&quot; by making cat food consisting solely of jelly or gravy?</description>

		<title>Chucking Fur-balls</title>

		<description>One of the advantages of having long fur, is that when it gets really cold outside and the snow blankets the ground... keeping my coat in shape gives me something to do when I&apos;m resting up above the hot water pipes.</description>

		<description>People are very funny. The first sign of winter and they start complaining and making stupid misshapen animals out of snow and trying to get me to pose in them. Idiots!</description>

		<title>What&apos;s That Got to Do with the Price of Fish?</title>

		<description>I don&apos;t care about credit crunches (sounds too much like dry cat food), but I&apos;m shocked to see the price of tuna go up by 14% in one week. For those of us on fixed incomes (i.e. zero) it could be the start of hard times, but if anyone thinks for one minute that I&apos;m going to tighten my belt then they can think again. Do some overtime you lazy people!</description>

		<title>Food for Thought</title>

		<description>I&apos;ve just been for the annual visit to the local kitty stabber and he tells me that I&apos;m in perfectly good health and my fur is in great condition and no mention of going on a diet at all. The last laugh goes to me, I&apos;ve been stuffing my face for the last year! Vets advice? Ignore it.</description>

		<title>Ich Essen die Katzenfutter</title>

		<description>We have some house guests from Germany and whilst they are very nice, they had the rather strange idea that I eat food out of tins. I had to eat it just to be polite, but what I&apos;m not sure about is what kind of animal is a &apos;schmoosy&apos;? </description>

		<description>Now I may not be a kitty cat any more, but that is no reason for me to be put on &apos;senior&apos; cat food. I&apos;m not eating that processed rubbish. I&apos;ll show them. I&apos;ve just brought some free range cat food into the house. Now if only I can get it out from behind the settee.</description>

		<title>Single Cat Allowance</title>

		<description>I&apos;ve been sent a letter from the council telling me that if I don&apos;t tell them who else is living in my house that they will take me to court. Well they can go and whistle for their tuna, he is my registered carer and I can prove it: one pathetic meow and he comes running!</description>

		<description>It seems that I&apos;m not allowed to talk about politics on this site anymore. Apparently from now until election day is a Purr-dah period. I think it affects all cats running web sites during election campaigns.</description>

		<description>I&apos;ve just been reading about Hamish the Hamster. He was lost in the Showcase Cinema for days. They should have given me a call. My free mouse finding service is second to none. Sorry folks I cannot promise to return your rodent in one piece.</description>

		<title>Dog and Bone</title>

		<description>I couldn&apos;t help overhearing  a story about probably the dumbest owner in the world. She was apparently wandering around Pets at Home talking to someone on a mobile phone and getting very very angry. She was saying: &quot;I&apos;m very very annoyed. There are cat Advent calendars, but they don&apos;t have any Advent calendars for dogs. This is terrible.&quot; Well here&apos;s news for you lady, they don&apos;t have dog advent calendars because dogs can&apos;t count. They are stupid! What next? She&apos;ll get angry that they don&apos;t stock bicycles for fish?</description>

		<title>Pining for the Fjords</title>

		<description>Sitting at home scouring the internet, as most cats do when their owners are out, I noticed an item about a Norwegian Forest Cat which make help you make up your mind on my little web site survey. Whilst Sgt. Podge&apos;s (&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/dorset/7092301.stm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;see here&lt;/a&gt;) laziness in demanding a lift home is praiseworthy, why doesn&apos;t he cut out the walking and just settle for the sleep by a warm radiator? It&apos;s what I do.</description>

		<title>Dirty Protest</title>

		<description>What on earth is going on in my back garden? The place is all covered with great big piles of steaming doo doo. Manure they keep calling it. Yet all I have to do is start to prepare a flower bed for use as a litter tray and I&apos;m chased off. What hypocrisy! At least I do it free of charge.</description>

		<description>It was a nice long bank holiday weekend and I had some visitors named Kirsty and Carl. They were very clean and well behaved and bought me lovely tuna and treats. I think I&apos;ll let them stay again.</description>

		<title>Fat Cat Fury</title>

		<description>I don&apos;t think I&apos;ve ever been so insulted in my life. According to to my &quot;size zero&quot; vet, I need to lose some weight. How dare she? I&apos;m not fat, I&apos;m thick furred. Anyway how exactly does she think she&apos;s going to stop me eating? One claw in the face usually does the trick when it comes to getting tasty treats... and if that fails I know where the meeces are.</description>

		<title>Angry Litter</title>

		<description>I&apos;ve written to the Reading Evening Post&apos;s Litter Page complaining about people complaining about cats using their back gardens as toilets. Where would you prefer? In your hats? Or Shoes? And until you humans stop soiling my litter tray (I call it the front garden) with your used crisp packets and burger wrappers, I think I&apos;m entitled to find alternative facilities. Most of these people seem to live at &quot;Name and Address Supplied&quot; which I think is somewhere in Whitley. </description>

		<title>Never Trust A Politician</title>

		<description>Right up there with &quot;Read My Lips, No New Taxes&quot;, &quot;Things Can Only Get Better&quot;, I&apos;d like to add: &quot;Stay at inside and be a good kitty and I&apos;ll bring you some prawns.&quot; Well? I waited and waited. Finally the dirty stop out comes crawling in at midnight with no prawns. Well the last laugh was on him... I was sick all over his carpets. Today, I got prawns! I urge you voters to do the same next time a politician lies to you - it&apos;s the only language they understand!</description>

		<title>Mouse Flavoured Cat Food</title>

		<description>I&apos;ve been getting fed a lot of meals out of tins recently, so I thought I&apos;d drop a few hints about real freshly prepared food using the best local ingredients and as I&apos;ve been watching a lot of cookery programmes, I know that presentation is everything. Result? One Mouse a la Tilda with an ivy leaf garnish. Don&apos;t know why I bothered as it all ended in the bin. </description>

		<title>Something Fishy</title>

		<description>Apparently I&apos;ve won the Spanish Lottery. I can&apos;t remember entering but that&apos;s because I&apos;m a cat and I&apos;m far too busy to keep track of my financial investments. I&apos;ve worked out that the prize will buy me 1,257,280 tins of Happy Shopper tuna or 349,010 tubes of chickeny treats. The fool in tech support tells me that it&apos;s spam but,  although I do prefer sliced cooked ham, I&apos;m willing to give spam a try. </description>

		<title>Treatment</title>

		<description>I&apos;ve found a new supplier and they sell chickeny treats in 220g bags which is 8 times the size of the old packets, but I&apos;m not a happy kitty. The bag is now big enough to have instructions. Feeding Guide: Feed one or two pieces up to twice a day. Are they having a laugh? And Best Before: 01-06-2008? I&apos;ll tell you now, they&apos;ll be lucky to last the week.</description>

		<title>Chalk and Cheese</title>

		<description>Did you watch that TV programme about underground tunnels in Field (Mouse) Road? What do these engineers know? Tunnels in the back garden are called mouse holes, not &apos;chalk mines&apos;. If they are making tunnels that size under your back garden, I think you&apos;re going to struggle getting them meeces indoors through your cat flaps. Good Luck!</description>

		<description>That&apos;s the second month running that those peddlars of kitty substance abuse have failed to come up with the goods, so I want them served with an Anti-Feline Behaviour Order. Where are my chickeny treats? I&apos;m going to have to go cold turkey... although maybe cold fishy would be a better option at the moment. </description>

		<description>I know it&apos;s difficult getting something for the cat who has everything: as much tuna as she can eat; a nice warm house centrally heated even when everyone else is out; a light on all night so I can find my way to the food bowl and a free paw to claw all the carpets and furniture whenever I want, but I was sitting under the coffee table minding my own business when this TV programme called Horizon came on. Not sure what rubbish they were talking about, but what caught my eye was the remote controlled rat - absolutely brilliant. So, if you&apos;re stuck for ideas...</description>

		<title>Litter Bug</title>

		<description>I&apos;ve been kept under lock and key with only a bucket of kitty litter to keep me company. I ask you… a litter tray. Where&apos;s the neighbours garden when you need it? Maybe if I pretend to have Stockholm Syndrome, my captor will release me. Failing that I think I might go for a dirty protest on the stairs. </description>

Next thing I know, I&apos;m in the portable kitty prison and off to the vets. I am not going to tell you what he did with that thermometer, but people like that should be locked up.</description>

		<title>Little Visitors</title>

		<description>I appear to have some visitors, but I&apos;m keeping out of their way until they&apos;ve gone. Noisy little mini-human yowling away at all hours of the night. That&apos;s my job and I&apos;m not standing for it. I&apos;m off to sulk behind the shed.</description>

		<description>...I wonder where dem birdies is? Don&apos;t worry, I&apos;ve finally worked out why all the birdies have gone. I&apos;ve not been able to catch any for quite some time now, but I was watching the news the other day and it suddenly dawned on me. Bird Flew! </description>

		<title>Don&apos;t Fence Me In!</title>

		<description>I seem to have an extension to my domain. At last they&apos;ve realised that a dumb old fence isn&apos;t going to keep me out of the neighbours garden and have got rid of it. There&apos;s a fishpond (which used to contain two fish hee hee hee!); another shed (so I suspect more meeces) and some nice trees with the obligatory birdies. The only things spoiling it are those nasty squirrels who seem to be under the mistaken impression that they own the trees. We&apos;ll see who&apos;s boss around here you nut eating surrender monkeys!!! </description>

		<title>Gruel and Infeline Treatment</title>

		<description>Those evil people are trying to starve me into submission. Okay, I have to admit that I was not eating my tuna because I knew those weaklings would soon buy me real prawns, but they&apos;ve only gone and tried to feed me IAMS. What on earth is that muck? I had to go out and catch a mouse just to remind them what real kitty food looks like... and if my normal diet isn&apos;t restored soon, it&apos;ll be a mouse&apos;s head in the bed every morning until they give in!</description>

		<title>Choose life…</title>

		<description>Choose a day sleeping in the back garden... I chose not to choose tinned cat food... I chose prawns. Now the nasty people at Morrisons have bought my favourite purveyor of kitty treats, or Safeway as you might know them and have stopped selling freeze dried prawns. Unless I find another fix soon, it&apos;s going to be cold turkey for me. </description>

		<title>Prawn to Lose</title>

		<description>I guess they&apos;ve gone and left me. Four days now without fresh food, just these mechanical contraptions which pop up at odd times. I&apos;ve worked out some brilliant revenge though. Obviously feeling guilty, they left me with a big bucket of prawns. If I don&apos;t eat them, they&apos;re going to stink big time when they get back!</description>

		<title>Fly Fishing Techniques</title>

		<description>I&apos;ve picked up a new hobby... fly fishing. I&apos;ve got a purrfect technique now. First pick a good spot... the window sill is good. Then wait patiently until a fly comes along. Pounce with your net, I usually use a net curtain. If you&apos;re lucky, it&apos;s a tasty treat for free! It seems to disgust my owners. Don&apos;t know why, they should try some one day </description>

		<description>I think someone&apos;s been running secret radioactive experiments in the back garden. The meece I caught today was a bit on the large size, I had a bit of a problem getting it through the cat flap. The idiots seemed to think it was a rat. A rat! I tell you, I&apos;d run a mile if I thought there were rats around here. I&apos;ve seen the Secret of Nimh!  </description>

Yep, they&apos;ve cut the grass in the back garden. I&apos;m going to give Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth a call. </description>

		<description>I don&apos;t know why I bother. I spent all day composing an email to Radio 5 and they ignored the serious point I was making. Here&apos;s my original email:

I listened with interest to your item about Frank the Cat and I wish him a speedy recovery. He&apos;s quite right, cars are for hiding under, not for driving around in like lunatics. Maybe if you humans did the same there would be less car accidents.
Meow meow meow
Matilda xxx

And this is their reply:

Thanks for your email, but we couldn&apos;t understand it.

		<description>A historic day - the first mouse of the year! I&apos;m just limbering up after the long winter layoff, so I didn&apos;t bother killing it this time and left it there on the stair, right there. A little mouse with clogs on... well apart from the clogs. I&apos;ll catch it again later.</description>

I know, I&apos;ll not eat any of it. That&apos;ll make them feel dead guilty when they get back. Haven&apos;t they realised that all the meowing to be fed is just to show them who&apos;s boss around here. I&apos;m off to get some fresh food!!!</description>

		<description>My owners now seem to be confused because I&apos;ve been bringing in leaves over the last few days. Well, I found out one of them was a vegetarian (yeeuuchh!) so I thought I&apos;d swap the dead mice for dead plants. And what thanks did I get? You try and do something useful and it gets thrown back in your face. Pass the catnip.</description>

The fools hadn&apos;t twigged that I sit on top of the gatepost keeping an eye out for their cars, then quick as a flash it&apos;s back through the cat flap and to the front door before they&apos;ve spotted me. Only this time I was day dreaming of a Safeway tuna at 19p a tin and they caught me. Curses!</description>

		<description>Apologies to all my fans out there, I&apos;ve been very busy recently... sleeping. Being a cat is really really tiring. It&apos;s been tipping down outside, so I&apos;ve been annoying my owners by meowing by the front door, waiting for them to open it, then when they do, look disinterested and go back to my scratching post for a kip.  </description>
