Thisbe's Reply


My mistress made me sound like an indolent creature who lives only to eat and sleep. She neglected to mention my long, vigorous, luxurious baths which I sometimes perform in time to music. Baths burn calories. And speaking of intimate activities, sometimes I "freshen up" with a scratch in the old sandbox. Lots of digging. More calories burned.

When I appear to be gazing out the window, I am really guarding the hearth, keeping track of the vermin who might try to come in. One of them already has gone into the garage which I stand guard at least once a day where said vermin chewed a whole in the bag of bird seed.

It needs to be stated that sometimes the bottom of my food dish is visible, and this causes me great anguish, and I must complain loudly and with vigor (burning yet more calories).

My mistress tends to forget that dogs have masters, but cats have staff.
