Cattitude

DEAR DR. MUTT,

Yesterday the girl child brought home Matt, a cat with an attitude as long as his tail! The master gave him the luxury suite in the tool shed; and get this, he has his own bathroom! Shucks, when they brought me home, they stuck me outside, and I have to go in the great outdoors! And what’s worse, when I try to be friendly; he pokes his fluffy head out the window and hisses at me! The nerve! This is so unfair! I demand equal rights! Or at the very least, I want to replace Matt!

Disgusted in Diablo

Dear Disgusted,

You have every right to feel maligned, but alas such is life as the feline sees it. Matt is not a mutt, and his job probably involves a search & destroy mission that requires him to be indoors. And though we canines can seek a better living condition, who wants to poop in a box?

Your true task as a canine is to be a loyal guardian of your master. So demonstrate this by doing your job to the best of your ability without complaint. At day’s end, you will be rewarded by a grateful master.

Hooters and Tweeters

DEAR DR. MUTT,

I was born with the biggest ears in the world. They drag on the ground when I walk. They are such a hindrance that I step on them when I try to run and chase the birds. I heard that there is an operation that can reduce and re-shape my big floppy ears and make them into trim, smart-looking amplifiers. What would you advise?

Amplified in Anchorage

Dear Amplified,

You don’t mention your breed, but actually that is not too important. What IS important is how you feel about yourself. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and if you behold yourself as not so nice, then you must do something about that image, and you have two options.

You could try to convince your master that you urgently need corrective surgery.
