AAAAARGH...

Heer we go agin, it'z yer end at momma's jobbie and she iz going mental! We thot the year allreddy ended and den mom starts going to werk early and comin' home late and now she'z gotta go to werk on Saturday and when we wined dad sed "buck up guyz, it's fiskal yer end". What is a fiskal and why duz it end da yer in March? All I know iz dat mom's not heer wif us and we'z mad. Dad's o.k., but he'z no mom. He duzent effun frow da ball down da stairs like she duz. I want mom, I want mom to snuggle aftur dinner. Oh, and dinner, he duz not mush da food up nice like mom. He just puts it on da plate and kinda pokes it wif da fork and I hafta actually BITE OFF PEESES, dat iz not how to fix stinky goodness! Bah, I'm gonna be cranky til dis fiskal finally ends hiz or her yer and leefs my momma alone.~Speedy

Hi effury kitty and bean! Since this is Speedy's first 'year end' with us he doesn't understand it. Well, I don't really understand it eether, but I've been through it 5 years running now and I know the routine. I'm never happy about it, but, I'll tolerate it and know that evenshooaly mom will be back to, well for her anyway, normal. I just wish we cood trane daddy better. He misses alot of stuff that makes us happy, and he reely doesn't do the stinky goodness rite! He doesn't know just the rite way to rub my pawz, he tries but he just doesn't get it. Sigh, I'll be so happy when this is over.~Zippy

Ack, I'm just gonna go over to Rocky's effury day and ignore dad. Can yoo beleeve he thinks he's funny when he drags me across the kitchen by my tail! Oh, I like it when mom does it, but she's much more gentle than daddy. He whips me around to fast and it makes me dizzy. Last nite I had to akshooaly had to swat him to get him to stop. Den he haz da nerve to complain to mom dat I scratched him. Well, tuff noogys guy! Yoo deserved it. Hmmmf~Sadie

I don't know why it is, but Moms seem to know just what kitties like better than Dads, in many cases. I am sorry that you have to go through this each year and I really sympathize with your Mom. I'll bet she hates it, too. Tough it out and Mom will be back to normal when it's all over.

Sorry to hear your mom is working such long hours. My mom says she sympathizes - she remembers the craziness at the end of the fiscal year when she was working full-time. Now she's a student again (working on a Masters degree) so she doesn't have to deal with that fiscal nonsense anymore.

Maybe your mom can train your dad how to do a better job at looking after you? My mom's done a pretty good job training my dad. I'm the first cat he's ever been around (he's allergic to most cats, but fortunately not Sphynx) and mom's done a good job with him!

I hope things become less busy for your mom soon!

WE udderstands how yu feels. Der is NO replacemans furrs da Momma. Daddy tries, but he can't be da Momma. Only Momma can be da Momma. We lubs our Momma. She takes gud care of us and she plays wif us and feeds us rite and cleans up after us and doesn't co-plain. We lub lub lubs our Momma.

We hopes yu get yur Momma back real soon.

We're sorry that your mom is working sooooo many extra hours that she can't spend with you. Moms are definitely more attuned to what is necessary for all of us!

Poor fings! I hope my beans don't run into this fiskal guy. I barely amember, but sumtime in the Spring, Mom got all busy wif Texas or tacks or sumfin an pulled out all kinda papers an yelled at the puter lots an needed to be left alone until it was done. I hope that doesn't come agin this spring.
Sorry bout yur dad - My dad was werkin the string fur me when I was playin in the kitchen wif the bag. He's cool, efun tho he says we didn't NEED a 2nd cat (me!!!).

Owr mom used to werk someplase were they had a thing calld Tak Seeson and that was bad for us - she wood come home furry late and not play, just give us foods and go to sleep. Then she went somewares else and there was Bike Seeson and Walk Seeson, but they were never as bad as Tak Seeson. I thot the seesons were Windows Open and Flowers to Sniff, Too Hot for Windows Open, Windows Open and Leaves Falling Down and Too Cold for Windows Open. Sigh. I'll nefur unnderstand human beans.

Tara said...

I feel your pain! Dad luvs me whole bunch, but it is not the same as Mom. She has a better lap (I fall through Dads), she talks to me better, and definetly knows the stinky goodness routine better. I luv Dad, but I miss mom. Tara

Speedy- Owr lady says its a corpurate mentalitie to werk long howrs during the fisical year. We don't get it...we don't see owr lady ficiallie werk out any more arownd this time of year. We feel fur yoo all.

Zippy- Keep werking with Speedy. He's a rookie and yoo and Sadie are veturans!

Sadie- Keep scratching...yoo gotta show yer purson that yoo are the alffa in the relashunship! Grate job...keep it up!

Shaggy and Scout said...

Yeah, dads are definitly lacking in the cat care skills. You need to come up with a tutorial for him.

Ivan from WMD said...

Maybe your dad said fishy year end. That would change everything.

Kids, thank you very much for leaving those kind words for us. We're doing a little better now.

Rocky the Gutter Cat said...

Yeah, Babey! I LOVE fiskul yeer end! I'll grab Skeezy's sleepin' bag, Sadie, and yoo can pull a few all-niters!

Forty Paws said...
