The art of flomping

Every professional cat knows this.
It's essential to being an effective feline.

You can't simply go somewhere and lay down, whether for a nap or just to get attention.
You has to flomp.

And flomping is an art form...

Let's say you is in a room with a shiny floor, or a carpet, and your hooman comes over.
You wait for him to get close to you, then... 'flomp!'... you falls on your side - ideally with your belly facing upwards.

The same goes for comfy, soft chairs.
You wait for your hooman to sit on one, jump up next to him, walk in a circle a few times, then... 'flomp!'

You can also do a frontal flomp.
This is when you plop down on your front, belly down, head down, with your front feets stretched out in front of you.

It is vital that all felines know how to flomp properly.

I has been with my new hooman for, I think, 60 catty days... which is about 10 hooman days (I tried to work this out by counting on my claws). I think I like my new hooman, but he is a bit strange. Sometimes he just calls me 'Frankie', sometimes he says 'Frankiiiiiiiiiiie', in a very high voice (I just blink at him if he does this), and sometimes he calls me 'Sir Francis Wilberforce Giuseppe Heung-Min Alejandro'... which makes me have a confused. He tries to stroke my ears, which I don't like, but I will let him touch to top of my head, my face, and my belly. I like exactly five belly rubs, then I will kick my back legs, as I want him to stop. I didn't like the food he was putting out for me at first, but he seems to have learnt from his mistake and now gives me new, yummier food. He has a strange obsession with my wees and poos. As soon as I do one, he seems to take them away and store them in a bag. Odd hooman. Today, I made an exciting discovery thoug...

Catty Playground

Image
I had a sleepy earlier, as I'd only had 14 hours of naps, so was tired. It had been a hard day. My hooman came into the room where he sleeps (it's my bed, but he seems to think he can sleep in it... I don't mind though, as he's made of warms) and gave me some head strokes and some belly rubs. This was nice. Then I heard a knocking sound. My hooman said 'stay there, Frankie', then closed the door to the sleeping room. I had a confused. Then I heard lots of different hooman voices. They were saying 'do you want it here, mate?' and 'Is over here good?' Very strange. There was lots of bumping and scraping... then there was no noise at all. My hooman opened the door to the sleeping room again, so I decided to explore. The big room was completely different. There were new objects everywhere. New objects to sniff. New objects to rub with my scent. New objects to jump over. New objects to sit on. My hooman had created a little indoor catty playground for...

Important Cat Jobs

Image
It's not easy being a cat. Aside from fitting in at least 16 hours of naps each day, I has many important cat jobs I must do. I has to wash my human, so he doesn't smell. I has to play with my hooman, so he doesn't get bored. I has to show him my fluffy belly, and purr when he rubs it, to keep him happy. I has to keep him warm, by sitting on him. I has to check that any boxes in my home are up to standard. I has to help him when he's changing the bedding in the napping room. I could keep going. It honestly feels like my list of jobs is never-ending. It's exhausting. But one of my main jobs, which is very important, is to be chief cupboard inspector. I has to make sure all cupboards are up to my standards, that they're clean, and that they contain at least one tin of toona. My hooman only partly passed the last cupboard inspections. One cupboard had dust in. The other had no toona. I has raised my concerns with my hooman by meowing loudly, and scratching the big,...
