| Cocoa knows all! |
“Dear Cocoa,
What am I to do? My pets give me plenty of food and
water. They have toys everywhere for me
to play with. They even have several
condos for me to climb into for a good nap.
They don’t, however, play with me.
In fact the only time I can even get close to them is when they are
sleeping in their beds and I can curl up beside them. What am I to do? (Sorry, I know I asked that once, but I
really need to know.)
Signed Lonely”
“Dear Lonely,

| This one has the right idea--- |
Are you a cat or a
shadow? You are experiencing what every
cat experiences once in awhile: your pets are occupied with things that are
taking their attention away from you.
But you are not a shadow that can be ignored. When they are on the computer, sit in front
of their screen. If that doesn’t work,
crawl onto the keyboard. When they are
watching TV, crawl into their lap and pat their face. If that doesn’t work, sit on their remote
control. When they are getting ready for
bed, climb onto their pillow and curl up.
If that doesn’t work, then wait till they lay down and crawl onto their
chest, or better yet, their face. When
they are getting food ready, race between their legs while crying piteously and
gently paw their legs when they sit down to eat. You can even jump onto their lap and pat at
the dish. If these don’t work for you,
you can always use the tried and true (deposit gifts on their
furniture-especially the bed). If you
have to do that, however, you should hide immediately afterwards and sleep a
bit. Whatever you do, make it loud, make
it obnoxious, make it un-ignorable, and make it work.
Signed Cocoa”
