I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that my brother, Zeuss Catt, from Boston is a pretty big deal and quite famous now. Well, so what, who cares? I am going to be the first cat in our family to officially post on New Years Day and give you my very important opinion of the recent goings on with him.  Yes, I am quite aware of his status – that’s all any one ever talks about around here lately. He is a regular guest blogger on Mommy and Daddy’s site and he got an article written about him in his local newspaper, along with a video of him playing in the snow. He has his own facebook page and twitter account. Well, to tell you the truth, I’m sick of it and am going to set the record straight. Big deal. He played in the snow and can write. If anyone bothered to ask me, they would know that I can write too. I just don’t chose to do so. And we don’t have snow in Florida, so how am I supposed to compete with that? Can Zeuss catch lizards all year long and dip his paws bravely in a swimming pool? I know I can. Plus, Zeuss has to wear a jacket and a leash when he goes outside like a baby. I don’t need a jacket but I do need a leash. I used to be able to go for our outside adventures without a leash, but I was naughty and tried to jump over the fence and my humans got all hyper and upset at me and put a leash back on me. Mommy has a leash too, so I don’t care. I want to be just like my Mommy. Plusmy leash is very pretty and I look very trendy and stylish wearing it. That’s what my human Mama told me and I believe her. All I was trying to do was catch a squirrel. Zeuss talks about squirrels all the time in his posts and no one yells at him. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Just because I’m petite and dainty doesn’t mean I can’t be tough, because I really can be if I want to. Whatever…

Anyhow, my point is that I want to put an end to this once and for all and let you know that he’s not the only cat in town. I’m not only the prettiest cat in our family, but I’m smart like Zeuss too and I want the world to know it. As far as my other brother, Rolz, well… I will admit Zeuss is smarter than him. I don’t think Rolz even knows his alphabet and can barely count to three. He is really lazy and can be really annoying with his standoffish and rude behavior. The humans are constantly telling him how handsome he is and his ego is ridiculous. So what if he’s good-looking? I just think he’s really stupid – after he eats dinner, he digs the tile floor to bury some of his food for later. Everyone knows you can’t dig a hole through tile. Glass windows and doors, yes, but tile floors, that’s just so dumb. And Peanut, my sister, well, maybe she’s smart. I really have no idea – all she ever does is act like a goof ball and look for lots of loving and attention. I don’t like that. If I’m ready to be petted, I’ll let you know. I’m quite shy and demure about things like that and I’m not going to make a big sloppy fuss over it like her. I do have my standards, you know, and her needy behavior is really embarrassing and quite contradictory to the feline stereotype.

Anyhow, thank you for listening. If I’m in the mood, I will post again for you. I’m not really sure right now. I have a very busy schedule with napping, sunning, preening, and playing with my Daddy Zee. My Daddy is the best cat in the whole world and I love him so much. My Mommy is the best Mommy too and so pretty. I look more like her than any of my brothers and sisters. She is really smart and  really brave. She growls to protect us all the time and I want to be just like her when I grow up. Right now I am the Princess of our house and  the fairest cat in the land. I hope I get a tiara for my birthday, which is next month. I would look even prettier with a tiara.

 I have to go now – my paws are tired from typing and I’m very bored with this now and don’t feel like doing this any more. Plus, I kind of snuck on the computer and I think my human Mom might get mad if she catches me – she’s pretty uptight about her stuff and I didn’t ask her permission. I also changed some of her boring passwords and accidentally deleted a file called “really important stuff that should never be deleted.” I’m not really worried though – if I get in trouble, I’m pretty sure I can blame everything on Peanut – everyone loves her so much that they could never get mad at her. I would blame Rolz, after all, he is totally clueless, but no one would believe he could use the computer or that he would even have the initiative to write (I like to use big words), so that would be really stupid on my part. Anyhow, even though I would never tell him, I really do love my big brother. He’s really good at catching lizards and I love to snuggle next to him during nap time. You can see in our picture together that he really is handsome – just don’t tell him I said so. Zeuss really is awesome too – I miss him and wish he could come and visit us. Maybe he could bring me a pink leash- that would be really cool and pink is my favorite color. Or maybe he could bring me a tiara. I love Peanut too – she is a lot of fun and very nice and I like playing chase with her. But, I’m still prettier than her.  Happy New Year Everybody.       

Love,

Mia
