leaps and bounds, part 2

Also this week, Marcymommy either thought she could intimidate me or that it would be funny to put me on the floor when the monsters (resident dogs) were inside. I darted and dodged, yelled and charged. And then I realized I was talking to their feet. The big male assumed I wanted to shake paws, I guess, but he's clumsy and hit me on my head. Insubordinate. I'm going to have to see about having him imprisoned for that...or at least get his treats transferred to me. The big yellow female gave me a dirty look and walked off; clearly she knew her place in my castle. The little female--and I use the term little very loosely--keeps mistaking me for her favorite beaver chew toy. I understand we're about the same size and color, but that beaver doesn't have any stuffing, and I'm certain I do not appear that deflated. She obviously is a special needs dog, if she cannot recognize me as her queen. I will have to see about getting her some services for the visually-impaired. Marcymommy has a friend whose husband works in that department. So many things on my to-do list. Anyway, I refused to interact with those heathens for the first part of the week, instead choosing to chase the new kitten up and down the hall. She also hit me on the head like the big monster did, but it didn't feel so bad. She seemed miffed when I sat on her, especially when Marcymommy told me I was a good girl because I was learning to play. Throughout the week we got along better and better.

Later on in the week I allowed the small female monster to be on the same surface as me (I kick her off the couch, but Marcymommy keeps letting her on the bed when I've clearly already claimed that territory). She wisely lay down in an attempt to bow to me, so I went over to have her kiss my feet but she stood up and started barking and licking me. Marcymommy insisted this was called playing, but I object to loud noises and slobber as part of a social interaction. Plus the monster insists on sniffing me all the time. I'll ask Marcymommy for a muzzle...or maybe just a pillowcase to put over the monster's head. Nevertheless, this one seems nice albeit obnoxious. I may give her a chance.
