Excerpts from a Cat's Diary
Excerpts from a Cat's Diary
Day 983 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 carpet.
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. Bastards!
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 communicate 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...
