Most people think that cats are lazy, self-centered, and well, lazy. To be honest with you, it's true. Every bit of it. We do only care about ourselves. We only need someone when we want food, water, or a nice head to sleep on. Yes, I said head. I enjoy snuggling up to the little bratty two year old that constantly chases me during the day and pulls my tail and smacks my butt but I take it.

I have also been locked in cabinets, closets, bedrooms, bathrooms, anywhere a child can possibly fit my fat rump. I know that mom will always find me and let me out or stop the unnecessary roughness brought on by the kids. It's okay. It's not a bad life.

Here recently my wonderful family that likes to tease me and rough me up from time to time got a dog. That's right. A dog. I must admit that I hated this thing at first. He's long, annoying, anally d likes to smell things a lot. Not only that but what really bites my butt is the fact that he has something that I don't; a name. I hear the family refer to him as 'Jack' while I am merely 'Caddy'. This is ok, too. I have often heard the mom explain that it is because the kids could say 'Caddy' easier than some other cheesy names at the time.

My family is wonderful and I enjoy living with them but there are times when I absolutely have to leave the house and when I do, I like to stay out for hours on end. But I must admit that there is one family member that I just do not like. Dad. No, he's never been mean to me or anything. He just has a scent that says 'I'm not good with animals so I tend to try extra hard and it's annoying'. He does try really hard and I admire that but seriously, playing with me does not have to involve you chasing me down the dark hallway and then laughing when I jump high in the air because you scared the bejeezus out of me. I could live without that part of it.

When it comes to catching the mice and other rodents, I do my job. You better believe it. I once caught almost ten mice in one night. Yep. It's true. My owners were so happy and thrilled. I must admit that I was quite proud of myself as well but I'm sure you have already guessed that I was, since cats are also quite vain. But we recently moved into a new house, a much bigger house. There have not been any mice in this one yet but when there is, I'll be here to catch them and take them all down. Although the new dog likes to catch little rodents too.

I am actually quite fond of Jack now, did I tell you? Yeah, we like to go outside and play together.
