I am a feral kitten who has been domesticated, yanked out of a dumpster at the age of 2 weeks. My humans are very nice and feed me well. They also like to pet me all the time, which is not so much fun when I'm busy hunting.
Could you please tell me why, if they love me so much, they get so freaked out when I bring dead animals home?
Mickey: Humans are so silly. They insist on having us cats as pets, but they hate it when we act like cats! You'd think they'd get that cats like to kill. We're carnivores, for Pete's sakes. What do they expect--that they feed and love us and we'll turn into little fur-lined kids, creatures who do what they're told. Not that all children do, but they certainly don't bring home their kill to play with.
Flea: How about leaving your kill out in the wild. That's what I do.
Mickey: Good point, Flea. You're not going to change your humans on this front. Be a cat! Be proud! (You're a superior being, after all!) Just don't parade your hunting feats around the woefully weak of stomach.

Dear Mickey & Flea,
Yeah, I know it's the old sibling thing. but still. My sister Daisy (bigger and older by mere minutes)loves to swim and dive and generally get wet all over. I am of a more delicate disposition and would rather stay dry, and clean. The problem is our owners: they think I should swim as well as Daisy and not only that, but that I should like it. Please help, I am really tired of their "well-intentioned" bumps off the dock.
Thanks in advance (and it's about time for set up this column), Bruno
