This Woman Is Completely In My Power
I was greatly moved by the support from my kitty friends, who sent me messages following the Late Meals Outrage I suffered last weekend. I do appreciate your kind wishes. My relationship with my human servants was strained for several days, but we have now agreed to call a truce, after my female human plied me with diet-busting treats in her pathetic need to regain my love and affection. She has promised to try harder to be punctual with meals in future, so I have agreed to Say No More About It for the present.
My kitty friends would have enjoyed a little episode in my house last night. Picture the scene: My mum is standing in the living room ironing. My dad is relaxing on the sofa. I stroll into the room, having just enjoyed a sustaining snack in the kitchen...
ME: Mow. Miaow. (Sit down woman, I wish to sit on your lap).
HER: Hello, Eric.
ME: Mia-ow. Mia-ow. (Did you not hear me? I need your lap!)
HIM: What does FatBoy want?
HER: I think he wants the sofa and you're sitting on it.
ME, SITTING UNDER THE IRONING BOARD ON HER FEET: Miaow! Mow! Miaow!! (The sofa would be nice but I'm more in the mood for a lap right now!)
HIM: I'm not sitting on the floor just so that he can have the sofa.
HER: Why don't you sit on John's lap, Eric?
HIM: He never sits on my lap, he likes sitting on you.
ME: Mow! Mow! (Yes! Now you're getting the idea!)
HER: Go and sit on John's lap, Eric.
ME: Miaowwwww! (No you stupid woman, I want to sit on YOURS!)
HER: You can't have my lap right now, Eric, I'm doing the ironing.
(FIVE MINUTES LATER, AFTER I HAVE MADE MY POINT LOUDLY SEVERAL MORE TIMES...)
HIM: Oh, for heaven's sake...look, I'll finish the ironing, you sit down and get that cat to shut up.
HER: OK. (She sits down on the sofa, I immediately jump on her and make myself comfortable).
ME: Purr, purr, purr, PURR...
HER: Are you happy now, Eric?
ME: PURR, PURR, purr, purr, drool, drool, purr, drool, drool, snore, SNORE, SNORE...
(They are completely in my power).

Hi Eric and friends, we posted a link to you on Caturday.com, you may add us to your blogroll if oyu like.
Eric, you are highly skilled at manipulation! Maybe you could offer an on line study course on the subject.
Eric,
I think you need to post a translation for your meows like Patch's did. But you did pretty good. Just keep meowing until you get what you want.

Once again persistance and loud vocals pays off! Thanks for visiting my site ERic!

LOL! Oh Eric, you really did great for your mom. You got her out of ironing AND she was graced with the honor of providing your lap. Nice.
Ooh you're smart. Gorgeous too. If I were on heat I would want your kittens. I hope you like ladies in tuxedos. Our ginger-tux spawn will rule the world.

Hey, I have another admirer! I think our kittens would look fabulous (and fluffy) Pip - there's just one snag, I had some vital bits of kitten-making equipment removed when I was a kitten myself...
Hi Eric! We live in New York, but my dad has family in London. I think your giant mousie scares me...

Persistence pays...I am proud to call you my friend after reading about such a display of keen manipulation!
Well done, Eric! Patience pays when training humans. Next time will be easier, and the next easier still.
