Patches, a friend of Abagail - Patches is calling a pet strike

January 6, 2009 11:21am CST
I am calling all pets here on myLot to stand behind me to go on strike. I say we strike because of the poor attention we get from our pet parents. I feel we should be number one and the only thing they think of in their lives, I feel they should not be on the computer, nor go to work, nor do anything else they want to do unless we are asleep. I feel they neglect us when they leave us home alone all the time. I am calling for a strike Who is standing behind me? I say we do not hand out the love or we do not obey our pet parents unless they give us our list of demands. I will start the list of demands and you all can add to the list as we get together. 1. We demand that they need to walk us every day thee times a day or more if we want it 2. We demand gourmet pet food only the best for us because we give them our best loving 3. We demand we get the middle, the end, or what ever side of the bed we want they should sleep in the corner of the bed or on top of the covers if we say so. 4. We demand they are not suppose to go to work unless they ask our permission first 5. We demand they not suppose to go out without taking us with them at all times 6. This one is for you Peppie, Trans:You will take your own darned laundry to the creek and wash it 7. We demand you will groom us before grooming yourselves or let us alone if we do not like to bathe 8 We demand unlimited supply of treats 9 We demand to be able to chew up any thing in the house we want to including and not limited to your favorite pair of shoes no matter how much they cost. 10 We demand no fleas ticks or worms 11 We demand not to have to be taken to the vets office because it stinks in there you will arrange for the vet to come to us. All of my friends and the ones I have not met ye can you think of anything else I have missed.

I would join ya, but I don't think the others will, so I can't afford to go on strike. If I can talk the other 24 to join me, I'll join, but we don't want to go on any walks.

You need to push them out of bed to make room for yourself. I just lay on top of them and scrum and scrum and when they get tired of my scrumming they move.

Hey Patches Gissi here I stand behind you but ............ it will get boring if they let us do as we please I mean we can't do Mischief as it will not be Mischief, because we are aloud to do it anyway, so it will not be fun I won't be able to laugh at Mum any more when she tries so hard to be mad at me And I mean Mum has given me a loving Home and she loves me so much I just can't do it to her There are so many out there that have cruel Homes or no Homes because they where thrown out (I used to be one of them) so we are very Lucky really My Mum can't go out to work because she is sick and she only leaves me when she has to go shopping Hey Patches why are you on Petie, Abagail, Sammy and Daisy's Mum Computer, how did you manage that lol as they can't even get on without being caught Well it was nice meeting youPatches hope I see you again soon ...........Hugs Gissi

Well Patches, that was certainly a long beautiful dream wasn't it?. I believe that "Delusions Of Grandeur" is also diagnosable in pets now. Get yourself some help, you need it.

More treats or therapy? If I were you, I would do the therapy thing for sure. Someone has obviously brainwashed you into thinking that you are royalty. But I will let you in on a little secret I learned, the Queen of England's dog gets lamb and rice. How's that for a good meal?

Oh no are you saying it was all a dream and I cannot go on strike. My friends Petie and Abagail, Sammy and Daisy May will not join me if it means leaving the warm house and joining the picket lines. I was trying to get the humans to treat us better and give us more treats. Don't I look like I need more treats?

Hiya Patches....Pyewacket here...and you can guess my cousin is sleeping ...AS USUAL. Anyway...mmm...Okay now for your protests: 1. We demand that they need to walk us every day thee times a day or more if we want it Well as for the walking bit....we're kitties and indoor ones as we live in an apartment...so we never get walks ..and besides it's COLD out there....brrrr...so don't think the two of us want to leave the warmth of the apartmetnt for any walks. So that counts us out. 2. We demand gourmet pet food only the best for us because we give them our best loving Our mom gives us gourmet food all the time....she gets us Fancy Feast which she tells us is expensive...we refuse to eat anything else. 3. We demand we get the middle, the end, or what ever side of the bed we want they should sleep in the corner of the bed or on top of the covers if we say so. Oh, we got our mom trained here....we sleep wherever we want which is why our mom says she sleeps like a pretzel...whatever that is. 4. We demand they are not suppose to go to work unless they ask our permission first This might be a trickier one as our mom is just about always working in front of that computer of hers, which is why we're not here much. But Kissy is smart....when she thinks our mom has had enough of working on the computer, she stands up and paws and our mom's thigh...of course our mom gives a yowl like a banshee since Kissy has her claws out and jabs into mom's thigh 5. We demand they not suppose to go out without taking us with them at all times Well this kind of goes with the walking thing....we don't really want to go out as it's to nice and cozy here. 6. This one is for you Peppie, Trans:You will take your own darned laundry to the creek and wash it Here here...yes poor Peppie...he's been made a slave for doing laundry 7. We demand you will groom us before grooming yourselves or let us alone if we do not like to bathe well I really don't like being groomed but my cousin Kissy loves it 8 We demand unlimited supply of treats well our mom is pretty good there...she gave me a nice treat today as a matter of fact. 9 We demand to be able to chew up any thing in the house we want to including and not limited to your favorite pair of shoes no matter how much they cost. Mmmmm...we kitties don't like to chew on things..only food...LOL 10 We demand no fleas ticks or worms We've never had fleas or ticks or worms...thank goodness 11 We demand not to have to be taken to the vets office because it stinks in there you will arrange for the vet to come to us. Actually our mom is almost like a vet....she's one smart cookie and knows how to take real good care of us Okay...I DO have one to add though to this list: 12. Since my owner/mom is a writer, and has been writing a book based about me, I DEMAND she take MORE time and write in it everyday, instead of those stupid articles and reviews she does....AREN'T I MORE important?? I mean gosh,...the rate she's going I'll be old and grey before it's published!

Hi there! You made me really miss my patch, my pal. If he were here, am sure he's gonna join the strike for the fun of it. Anyway, what you're doing is an eye-opener to pet owners and lovers. Can't blame you if the masters sometimes forget your welfare, they're only humans, in case you guys forget. So good luck friends! Am right behind you on this!
