A cage......

"Dear Cocoa,

I have a question that I was hoping you could answer.  You see, I am new in the 'pet' life, having been an outside cat all of my young life, and wanted to know if this is normal.  My pets will put me in a large cage just before they leave.  I mean the cage is large and has everything I need except freedom.  Are they punishing me for being an outside cat?  Please explain this to me.

"Dear Caged,

Your pets are under the impression that they are in charge.  This is a concept that is totally unacceptable for felines.  Unfortunately, they rarely end this behavior no matter how well behaved you are.  If I were you I would begin to fight when they try to put you in the cage and at the very first opportunity that presents itself Get Out!  I hope all works out for you, my friend.

Signed Cocoa"
