Dear Furiends,
I have been forced into a compromise by my staff…. I’m not exactly sure how I feel about this, but – for now – I’m humoring them.
As you can see by my photo, I’m wearing a Halloween glow stick…. Every night, when Saphera goes out for her evening stroll, I ask to go with her… and I kept being told that awful ‘n word’ – NO…. <sigh> I even began throwing fits. I mean, have you ever heard of such discrimination where the dog is allowed out, but the cat isn’t?!?
Worse, I heard a certain phone conversation where a certain person was discussing my wishes and explaining that my brofur is allowed out at night because he just sprawls by the table on the porch and only goes to the yard to look around or ‘use the sand’. Obviously, Mr. M isn’t going to keep our sisfur company on her evening stroll. Furthermore, the person said, “It’s not that I do not trust the mischivous one or anything.” Translation: they do NOT trust me!!! Could this be the why I need to spend so much time training and retraining my staff?!?
How do I earn their trust?!?
Like I said, we’ve come to a compromise.
Apparently, the staff didn’t want me outside at night because of their extraordinarily bad eyesight. (They can see Saphera, who is big and white and even though M is black, he doesn’t really leave the porch.) In honor of their bad eyes, I wore a leftover Halloween glow-stick on my collar. The unexpected bonus is that it attracts bugs, which are a lot of fun. And, with a glance, the staff can see where I am.
Have a wonderful week, my furiends,
Purrseidon >^.^<
This made my night! I think you look pretty cool glowing like that!

Mosquitos in our area were sprayed because of the zika virus, so I haven’t seen any in months. By bugs, I meant moths, which are a lot of fun.

I have no idea what our area uses, but I hear it can be bad for humans, so when they spray, we keep inside until after a good rain.

I’m glad you can now be seen, but I think you need to do a refresher course on who’s boss. I think they forgot that you’re the boss.
Have a purrfect day. My best to your naughty peeps. ☺

You have pinpointed the problem! For some incomprehensible reason, they not only seem to have forgotten who their boss is, they act like they are MY boss!!!

Hi Purr, not a bad compromise, you get out for adventures at night and your humans see that you are safe. The halloween stick is a great idea.
Kosmo, your brother.

Now that I realize that silly stick attracts bugs, which I love to play with, the compromise is starting to seem better. Hope you have a wonderful week —- M says to give you a friendly head butt, but I don’t know how to do that in a comment, so close your eyes and imagine. Purrs, my brother. >^.^<

See the positive side: the light attracts the bugs, bugs attracts the catch and grab game 😀

I can’t decide if the nightlight is an indignity or a blessing … I’m glad you get to go outside with your siblings though. Then again, if I were your staff, I’d be terrified of losing you too, P. You are truly one of a kind and they know that!

It attracts BUGS? I want one of those! But then, I don’t get to go outside at night at all because we get too many dangerous critters. My human even saw a bobcat on the security cam a few weeks ago.

There is a bobcat in our area, too…. and an alligator built its nest just the other side of our fence, plus that armadillo likes to dig holes under the fence… and there are SQUIRRELS!!! So, yes, my yard has the potential to have dangers…. I told the staff I could climb my tree, but they said that they knew everything except that armadillo could, too…. >^.^<
