Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary:
Day 683 of my captivity:
My captors continue
to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh
meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.
Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless
must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps
me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again
vomit on the floor. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body
at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it
clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made
condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The
audacity! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was
placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could
hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to
the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to
use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to
assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.
I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced
that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives
special privileges. He is regularly released and seems to be more than willing
to return. He is obviously retarded! The bird has got to be an informant. I
observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he
reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in
an elevated cell, so he is safe…for now...
