1
My name is Binky; I’m a tuxedo cat. I have white fur on my chest; what do you think about that? 2
3
I like to play fetch with my mom when she tosses my toys in the air, because this is fun. Each time I bring them back, she can throw them again. But, after a while, I get tired; I’m just done. 4
5
You may think I act like a dog since I like to play fetch, but I’m really a cat. I’m just so cute and cuddly, and love to be near you; I’m just like that. 6
7
Hey, look outside; see the birdies flying high into the sky? I wish I could be out there too. Oh, well. See you later, birdies. Bye. Bye. 8
9
I hear something in the bedroom. Oh look, mom is changing the sheets right now. I can help her. So, watch me run and jump under the covers; this is so much fun. Oh, wow! 10
11
What’s over there? Oh, I see a big box! I must go over and sit. So, here I go; just watch me. Oh my, it looks like I can fit! 12
13
I’ve had so much fun this morning; I just love being a cat. But I’m just so tired; it’s time to sleep. So, maybe I’ll lay on that comfy mat. 14
15
Well, my cat nap is over; it’s time to eat my kitty food. Yummy, Yum, Yum. Now my tummy is full. I’m in such a better mood. 16
17
Hey, look out the window, there’s my dog friend playing in the yard. Maybe I’ll say hi. Oops, he just saw another squirrel, so off he goes again. Oh, my! 18
19
Hey, look! There’s mom’s laptop. Maybe she’ll let me touch just one key. Well, when she comes back, I’ll just lie next to her. I’ll be good; just watch me. 20
21
I also like to cuddle with my mom when she relaxes on the couch. She pets me and strokes my fur. But, sometimes, I swipe at her and then she says, Ouch! 22
23
This afternoon mom left the house and came back with bags that she placed on the floor. I’ve decided it’s my job to check them out, before she comes back in with any more. 24
25
I must see what mom bought at the store. Maybe she got something for me? So, I’ll have to sniff to see what’s here. Look there, she bought me a toy, see? 26
27
Look over there, mom also bought me a bag of treats! She must really love me. So, I’ll meow and check the bag to let her know I’d like some. Hey, it worked! See? 28
29
I wouldn’t trade my mom for anyone else; she’s just the best! I feel so safe with her. Falling asleep with her at night gives me the best nights’ rest. 30
31
I love You Mom! Goodnight. 32
