grievances

dear cat,

you're a good friend, but I'd appreciate it if you'd stop puking all over my apartment. also, I realize you get lonely during the day when I'm gone, but sleeping on my face at night isn't a good solution. please feel free to make friends with the robocop doll in the corner of the bedroom.

thanks,

me
