Put Down the Phone and Feed Me
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Woe is me. In despair I come to you, a poor neglected feline princess tortured into starvation by the horrible, careless human who claims to love me.
It’s been two hours since I had a treat. It’s been 84 years since I last sniffed a dish of my delectable wet food. How am I to survive such cruel, unwarranted punishment?
How could my human gaze into my mournful eyes, stroke my protruding ribs, and do nothing more than snap a picture to post to her stupid Facebook page? Doesn’t she realize how hungry I am? Can’t she see that I am wasting away? Doesn’t my human hear my empty tummy as it cries out for sustenance?
Help me, Vocal friends. Call the SPCA and tell them she’s neglecting me. Call the police. Have her arrested for animal abuse and sent to jail for a very, very long time. Better yet, call Auntie Heather. I know she will help me.
I fear the end is nigh, Vocal friends. My emaciated body is becoming weaker by the second. If I do not receive nourishment soon, I fear my body will begin to consume its own liver. Then, if that doesn’t satiate me, I may have no other choice but be forced to forage through the full bowl of kibble sitting on the floor in the kitchen.

The Unreturned Affection
I long for a life where I can spend my days with someone I effortlessly connect with. Once, there was a boy I had a crush on. When infatuated, it’s easy to become a little loud. Every day, I’d meticulously plan various topics for conversation with him, all the while trying to hide my true feelings, pretending that I had a genuine reason to approach him.

Poor Abigail! The waiting is definitely the hardest part 😫
That face! 😂
Personally, I think she's being kind of catty about this whole thing.
She must be related to our polydactyly, Snitch! Aloof with me beyond measure but the moment I sit down, there she is, looking at me longingly despite having kibble available all the time and having just been given her daily serving of gourmet wet food. It's their world and we live in it! Great job from Kitty's point of view!❤️
Hahahahahahahahahhaha what a Drama Queen! Well, I can't expect anything lesser from the Queen's cat, can I? 🤣🤣🤣 Also, hahahahahhahahaaha that 84 years! From Titanic! Me and my cousin always say that instead of saying it's been a long time! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
84 years? Wow, that's a long time to starve a cat! You must be feeding her very well for her to be here to complain like that! LOL. They really do act like that though. Well done, I'm still chuckling. :)
Ha! Brilliant! Abigail sounds as neglected as my three dogs. It’s a wonder they can walk to the food bowl unaided as they are so weak with hunger!
Poor Abigail!! She needs her some wet food!!
😁 Brilliant! My three muppets equally emanicpated and demanding!
It seems you are not the only victim of such a heinous crime, Abigail. My boss' cat is sitting by her bowl, glaring at me right now, though I know she was just given food about a half hour ago.
My two are as equally precious... and they never, ever clear the bowl. What is with that?!
I thought Abigail might make an appearance, this is great fun
Hilarious!!! Did anyone call Auntie Heather?
hahaha. That is an SPCA commercial in the making. You just need Alanis Morissette playing in the background
Love that grumpy little face. And familiar with what it means…
Oh,, you poor Abigail! Now you'll have to come for me to avenge my poor DJ who I just threw outside into the snow to prevent my throttling him for the sad and relentless screaming. For the same delusional reason, I'm sure. :)
Don’t worry Abigail, I will give your mom a tip so she can get you some fancy feast 😂🥰💗
NOT THE KIBBLE!!!!
