Cocoa addresses the human interest in books:


“Dear Cocoa,

My pets have this habit of opening up something (I think they call it a bok) with lots of fun pages to play with and they hold it out on their lap for me to play; but when I do, they push me away.  Why?  I don’t understand why they offer it and then push me away.  Are they trying to tease me or make me mad?  Is this a way for them to try to assert authority they don’t have?  Please help me understand this.

Signed Mix Bok”

“Dear Mix Bok,

Bok or Book as the humans say
Your pets are performing a ritual that many pets perform when they are tired and bored.  They open these items (yes they are called boks or books, I think, is how they refer to it) up and stare at them for hours.  I don’t know why, but I do know it calms them down and makes them sleep.  My advice to you is to get back in there and fight for your rights as their feline.  Sit on them, sit on the bok, play with the pages, slap at their hands, anything to get their attention.  Once you have gotten them to pay attention to you for a bit, then you must lie in their lap and possessively touch the bok with one paw just so they know you are still there.  This will show them who is boss.  Good Luck, I know you will do well.

Signed Cocoa”
