What is this thing?!

I used to have a great bathroom, even if Mom wasn't great at cleaning it regularly. It was big, private and never smelled that bad (except when Mom let it get out of hand).

Now... there is this big huge thing with claws that moves and makes noise as soon as I get out of it. How am I supposed to go to the bathroom in this? It get's mad every time I go in it.

So I avoid it. I've been using the floor. Mom and Dad have been patient with me, except today, I used the bed instead.

Mom put me in the new bathroom and made me stay there while she petted me a bit, it wasn't horrible but I still don't want to be there. There are a few of my favorite treats sitting around the thing now... but I won't touch them.

I don't know what to do! Any advice?

Worlds Coolest Pet Contest

Holy cow!
Mom entered me into the contest back when it first started and completely forgot about it.
Today I get a new friend request that says "Congrats on being a finalist". In disbelief Mom & I hurry over to the page and sure enough! 3 million votes and who knows how many entries later, I'm one of the five "Sleepers"!
I'm impressed I got this far, thanks so much to everyone who voted for me!
It was a very comfortable couch... too bad we don't have it any more.

Whats that scary time of year called?

The one where people put up huge yummy spiders to eat (yet somehow don't taste as good as the little ones) and lots of stuff dangling down to play with?

I saw the scariest thing ever today! (Scariest besides those two times I got lost...) I dunno what it was but Dad let in! I've seen the likes of them before, usually they are kept outside in a fence a few yards from my house, but this one was IN the house!

It had two funny looking feet (I could see all its toes, only three!). And feathers like birds, but it seemed unable to fly. And it made the scariest noise out of a funny looking orange mouth.

I came running down stairs to see what it was, but it wanted to eat me I swear! I tried to dart back up the stairs, taking a short cut by jumping onto the fourth step up, and instead I ran face first into a metal container that was sitting there! Eventually I made it up stairs, and was hiding until Mom came home.

My face hurts.

Siblings?

Mom and Dad have been saying words like, "adoption", "friend", "baby brother", "work all day", "start school", and "Stella home alone" lately.

... What can this mean?
