7/1: Sneakiness

Salut,

My name is Toots; also known as Lé Toots within my Inner Circle. I am 3 year old cat of finite patience yet infinite complexity.

Often, when time is right, I swim in dirt to facilitate ongoing development of my tough exterior. This is of critical importance in order to remain stern in the face of ongoing silliness in my life; in particular relation to Beans, The Silly One.

My humanoids deem this behavior in ze soil to be cute such as when Barbe Rouge (Red Beard) giggles when he gives me sticks to bite. No. Everything has purpose. Sticks sharpen tooth and claw; not provide enjoyment. Unfortunately, actions such as these sometimes distract my peripherals.

For instance, today, I was minding business with stick and Beans had the nerve to sneak upon me. Beans and I have a contract that he may not be within 5 feet of me and, yet, Beans breaches contract when I am not looking. No professionalism. No manners. I begrudgingly roll over and attempt to ignore.

Alas, Beans remains steadfast and tests my will. I sit upright to monitor situation closely. All this while Barbe Rouge continues to take pictures with iPad; what a fool he is.

Trying times like these make me yearn for the return of my Mother. I would like to think that she would intervene in such whimsical nonsense. My supreme intellect allowed me to deduce that she will be absent for an extended period of time. Indeed, another test of patience for Lé Toots.

Au revoir,

Lé Toots
