EXCERPTS FROM THE CAT'S DIARY


DAY 752

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal.

The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture or taking a shit where they can't find it. I love watching them look for it.

Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.


DAY 761

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded.

The bastards only reacted by laughing; I must try this again at the top of the stairs.

In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair... I may have better luck on their bed.


DAY 765

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts.

They only cooed and condescended about what a good little "cat" I was. I'm not sure what "cat" means, but I will not let them brainwash me.

Hmmm. This is not working according to plan.


DAY 768

I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture.

This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo."

What sick minds could invent such a liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.


DAY 771

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer."

More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The "dog" is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit.

The "bird" on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, though, his safety is assured.

But I can wait - it is only a matter of time..
