Kiki here. Hi, Wyatt! I get a few bites a tuna once every week, so that makes up for my hardship a little.

Kiki here. Hi, Tex B! Not too long ago, my human loved the rotisserie chicken, and she always gave me a little piece. No more! How I miss those days!

“JOINING me, Kiki?”

“What you EATING, human?”

“Egg substitute, UNSALTED beets, UNSALTED peanuts and LOW-SODIUM tomato juice.”

“Can’t you eat FUN food…pizza or a double cheeseburger?”

“No! DOCTOR’S orders.”

“C’mon, human! LIVE a little with me!”

“Kiki, I eat this so I can live A LOT with you!”

“Kiki, with your summer SHEDDING, I could’ve made your twin!…I should’ve DONE it!”

“Frankenstein’s Kiki?”

“No, it would’ve been a fur STATUE!”

“And be on DISPLAY?…Wait—why the ‘coulda, woulda, shoulda,’ human?”

“I VACUUMED and CLEANED last week, Kiki. So the Louvre’s gotta WAIT until next year!”

“You’re a GOOD friend, Kiki!”

“You’re a WORST enemy, human!”

“WHAT?”

“You do a BAD job of getting me in the carrier, brushing me, giving me pills! You fail so much that you’re the WORST at being an enemy!”

“So…I’m your FRIEND, Kiki?”

“No, still an ENEMY, human—but one I can cuddle up next to.”

Kiki here. Hi, Rikki kitty. That might be your situation, but I watch my human in bed and make sure she wakes up with the alarm. If she doesn’t, then I’ll take your helpful tip!

“So MUCH about you I don’t understand, Kiki!”

“What don’t you GET, human?”

“Why ZOOM out the litter box?”

“So PREDATORS won’t find me!”

“Sure…Why KNOCK things down?”

“SCIENCE projects!”

“OK…Why you love BOXES.”

“Human, don’t try to UNDERSTAND me…just CARE for me!”

“NOW, I understand, Kiki.”

“What’s the RUSH, human?”

“Ripped a big bag of LITTER walking upstairs, Kiki! Need the BROOM!”

“But visiting kitties may need a BATHROOM break!”

“No, someone might SLIP! Gotta go!” (later) “Whew!…We’ll get litter DELIVERED, Kiki!”

“If I don’t like what you get, I can rip the bag MYSELF, human!”
