Open Letter to Our Cat

Dear Zoe:

Jennie, Keisha, Jake, and I are all pleased to have you live in our home and be our cat. We would, however, like to clarify something with you.

For the most part, we are awake when it is daylight outside. We have noticed that you prefer to spend this time underneath the bed located in mine and Jennie's room.

As it becomes night, you come out from under the bed and expect us to pet you. Night time is when we usually sleep. Please don't get upset, therefore, when we decide to nudge you off the bed.

If you want our affection we suggest that you adjust your schedule to better reflect our lifestyle. Jake, our somewhat neurotic dog, was able to do that after about one month, so you're definitely on track.

Also, we've never had a cat before, so we cannot be expected to understand the varied meanings of "Meow". Please bear with us.

Sincerely,

The Johnson Family

give my grandkitten a chance here- Jennie sleeps during the day and you sleep at night so thats why she is confused. you need to get an alarm clock and train her to know between the hours of 4-10 pm it is appropriate to be awake. Any other changes will be duly noted with advance warning Zoe!
