| Legend Loves Boxes But A Box Can Only Occupy Him For So Long … |
Happy Wordless Wednesday and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday to you all! As you know, I fully expected Mom to be back at the helm this week so I could tend to important matters of state, like rolling around in catnip and sunning myself on the veranda, but alas, that is not to be. Instead, while Mom is working until she is bleary eyed on migration matters, Tsunami and I are left to fend for ourselves. We must find our own entertainment. We must forage for our own food. In other words, we’ve become Latch Key Coon Cats!
So, it’s time for another tough love tell-all. As I’ve discovered, there’s nothing like a shocking expose to get the attention of Mom and Dad.

| Never Let A Cat Discover An Empty Food Bowl |
Imagine how you would feel if you walked into your favorite restaurant – eager to savor your favorite meal – only to discover that the wait staff had not only misplaced your reservation, but gone on break and left the serving dishes filled with crumbs from the previous meal!
That’s what happened to me on a recent trip to my favorite dining establishment, The Coon Cafe. Now, a more reticent Coon might have gotten up, walked out, and grabbed a meal down the street at the Precious Paws Pub, where food is always plentiful, but not me. I took this incident rather personally, and I wasn’t about to tolerate such shoddy treatment. So, I decided to teach the owners a lesson.
Hunting Time
I’m a big believer that the punishment should fit the crime. So, I decided, what better way to express my displeasure than to rustle up my own dinner and add it to The Coon Café menu?
First, I went out and hunted the plumpest mouse I could find.
Then, I brought it inside and proudly paraded it before all of the paying customers. This sent everyone scurrying for cover and guaranteed me the best choice of seats in the house.
Dinner Is Served
Finally, I walked up to the buffet, where the Fresh Catch Of The Day should have been waiting for me, and plopped my mouse on the platter.
Yes, I know that’s a lot of effort to make a point. But, it’s my belief that when the owners return – or, when the buzz from their (former) customers reach them – they will never treat me, the Resident VIP, with such contempt and disdain again.
Admiring My Handiwork
What do you think? Will today’s tough love scheme pay off? Will I be rewarded with bottomless bowls of fresh tuna and succulent turkey now that the world has heard my story? Or, will my attention-seeking antics doom me to eating vending machine rations for publishing yet another tell-all tale?
My fate may ultimately lie in your hands. Let your voice be heard. Use your influence for good!
Until next time:
Legend, The Latch Key Coon Cat
New follower from the alexa hop. I am in love with this coon kitty! He's so gorgeous!!
Lol–I hope you learned your lesson!
Too funny! Cats are so weird about their food. I recently bought Alice a food that I had always bought her before (she's been eating Cat Chow) and she will not eat it! It has been a couple of days and I guess I'm going to have to get her something else. I thought she would give up and eat it. She didn't have a problem with it when I bought it for her before. She's being really stubborn.
thanks for sharing your story for Cat Thursday!
Great tail er tale er well great story, wonderful photos. We all know that cats rule the world, we humans are merely their pets and servants.
Here's my take.

Hey! New follower from Friend Finding Friday! Love your blog!!
So cute! I have two picky cats at home as well. 🙂
This is a lovely story. Rights for all cats I say, even if I am a kat with a k.
That's awesome 🙂 We had a Maine coon, too. He had extra toes and was the weirdest cat ever. Yours looks sweet (if not a little scary)!haha
What is the hairy thing on the last picture? Nice story.
Cute kitty! Thanks for linking up with NOBH! 🙂
Aren’t Coons the greatest? I’ve had two and they were the loves of my life! Well…except for my kids…and my husband…oops.
