I'm leaving home

I've had it. I tried to put up with the never-ending stream of cats coming to my mom for help, but I just want her to myself. They are always around, and I can never get all the attention I want. To top it off, there's a tom cat that acts like he owns the place, when he doesn't even live there! Mom should have let him die when he got in a bad fight and got scalped, but she couldn't leave well enough alone. Now he thinks he belongs. I don't care how much my mom says she loves me, she won't stop helping these strays. Well, I'll show her. She can have her strays, but she can't have me with them.

Goodbye, mom.

Mo-o-o-o-omm!!!

Where are you?? You got that new baby and now you shut your door and I can't get on top of the wardrobe and you are never at the washing machine anymore and I WANT TO BE PETTED!!!!

*sniff*

It has been a little nuts around here lately, with the new kid and everything. I am so shy anyway, I don't want to get in the middle of things. The truth is, I am the Queen of this here Hacienda, and I'm getting a little tired of feeling neglected. I forget sometimes that I was a pitiful little bag of bones when mom found ME, and I should really be patient and forgiving. That's not in my nature, tho.

*sniff*

I hate sharing mom, but she's so GOOOOOOD with the hairbrush on my cheeks and petting me with a sock on her hand, I guess I'll stay. Yeah. That's worth it.
