Daisy May’S Lazy, Crazy Days

By Aubrey J. Sher

Daisy Mays Lazy, Crazy Days is an autobiography, written by me, a beautiful tuxedo cat. Well, actually I am unable to write in people words, so I decided that I would tell my life story to a human author named A-Jay. He is one of the very few humans who understands cat language and was able to translate into people language whatever I dictated to him.

The concept of a cat telling her story is unique, and children of all ages from early elementary school age to adults should enjoy hearing me tell about my habits, my animal friends, my adoptive parent, Lu-Jo, my likes and dislikes, and how I spend my days in my home, which I refer to as a palace. I also show off my sense of humor whenever I can in this book. For example, I said at one point, I hope you find my autobiography interesting with a litter bit of fun.

The chapter headings listed in the Contents will give you a good idea as what to expect in this delightfully creative piece of literature, a must for even those who are totally unfamiliar with cats. Daisy May will definitely endear herself to all her readers. So enjoy!

INTROCATION

Greetings today from Daisy May

Hi! I’m Daisy May, a cat. Take a second look at my expression. I look outraged, don’t I? If my expression could speak, it would say, How dare you talk to me without my permission. You see, in this book I’m talking to YOU. Yes, I’m talking to you throughout this book, and will not listen to anything you say unless you have my permission to comment. In other words, whether in cat language or human English, I call the shots. Why? Because I am a cat, and cats are always in control. Ask any owner of a cat. Anyway, that’s what I believe.

Am I a know-it-all? Am I a smart Aleck? I don’t know who that Aleck is, but I’m smart. I’m smarter than what a family member thinks of me. She calls me Stupid, just because I don’t come running up to her whenever she cat-sits and takes care of me when my Lu-Jo leaves me home alone to go out of town for a few days or a couple of weeks or so. Mar-Mar (the one who calls me Stupid) should realize that I ignore her and hide when she walks into the house because she bears the scent of her dog. We cats, most of us anyway, don’t care for dogs. Dogs may be man’s best friend, but they are not a cat’s best friend, at least not this cat’s best friend; that’s for sure. I’m asking A-Jay to let Mar-Mar know through my book that I don’t dislike her. In fact, I appreciate
