A Modest Proposal

So Human, I've been thinking. I have come to see our building's hallway, stairs and little lobby as natural extensions of our apartment.

I would like to negotiate a new arrangement. First, a once-a-day excursion seems awfully restrictive. I propose three: One late morning, one mid-afternoon, and one before bedtime.

Also, it's a little humiliating to have you babysitting me out there. Just leave the front door open, and I'll come in when I am good and ready.

Sounds like a good deal to me! Although I'm not sure my human would agree to it. Don't know about yours.

Sounds reasonable Spitty, but I think it will take a lot of negotiating.

Oooh - I thought you were going to propose that you be offered the opportunity to venture outside the building. Think big, Spitty! (But be prepared to be told that you'd need to don a leash and harness if you really want to take your Human for a walk around the neighbourhood!)

WOW - three excursions a day? Good luck with the negotiations Spitty. I have to be escorted on my TWO outside walks a day. Mom or Dad or both are right there always - I can't shake them even though I've tried. Like SHADOWS.

Hugs, Teddy

We need a video tour of your humble abode Spitty.

Great idea Spitty. A little exercise is always a good idea and exploring is such fun.But what if a monster jumped out, wouldn't you want your human there? I would. Sage of Savannahs Paw Tracks.

That sounds fair to me. XO

This seems reasonable, Spitty. How could she say no??

Hmm. Please keep us posted on how those negotiations go, Spitty.

We wish you good luck about having the apartment door left open. TBT said he once had cats in an apartment and having the door left open involved a "snowball's chance in hell" whatever that means. But we gather the idea was "no".

But it never hurts ta ask...

I've long thought what's outside our unit is a part of my domain. TW says there are huge dogs on our floor and we're right near the elevator so I can wipe going out there offa my wish list.

We think that sounds like a reasonable request...at least the first part. You know she is never going to let you go out alone even if out is actually still in. Misty May is blowing kisses.
