The evil claw clippers

I've started to notice a pattern. It seems the treats only escape from the bag on the days that mommy and daddy have to go to that "work" place. I found two this morning and originally thought I had just missed them somehow, but I know my hunting skills are too good to overlook these goodies so there is no way I could have missed these two all weekend! A few hours later though, I found 4 more that were randomly hidden in a different room this time! It's very confusing, but again I really don't mind. Something tells me that these treats only appear in such awkward places when mommy and daddy are away.


After mommy came home, she continued to work on the knots and it looks like she finished it too! She scraped a stick and made it glow yellow and touched the yellow to the end of it. The yellow light made the string very hot and it turned glossy and sticky but it cooled off and got hard very fast. I guess thats how she managed to keep the knots from coming undone. She was very happy to finish it, I could tell because then she started to swing it around and play with it! I was looking forward to joining in and couldn't resist playing too! It makes me happy to hear mommy laugh.


While we were playing, I guess I got a little carried away in the chase of the stringy toy mommy made. I ran too far and too fast, I jumped a little too hard off of a soft warm surface that made daddy scream. I didn't even realize it but I hurt daddy's foot. Why do I keep messing up?

Daddy rubbed it but it looked like I left a red line on his foot, three in fact. That must have upset mommy because she picked me up and took me to her desk and sat me on her lap with my belly up. She then took these shiny biting things and started using it to bite my back claws.

I didn't mind at first but I just didn't want to stand still anymore so I kicked and wiggled to get free. Suddenly the biting thing bit too hard and it hurt really bad. I didn't want it anywhere near me anymore so I lost control of myself and did whatever I could to get out of the hold mommy had on me! My claw was hanging off, not fully cut through and I didn't want it to get any shorter because it really hurt! That shiny thing was NOT a nice thing.

After wiggling and kicking as much as I could, I started to scream and cry to let mommy know I wanted to get away from that mean object. She wouldn't let go of me. I did what I had to do, I bit the hand she was using to hold that shiny object, but she still didn't release it or me. I screamed and kept biting at her and she really didn't like that, but what could I do? Mommy was making me so mad, she didn't understand how evil that thing is, why did it bite me? Why did it bite my claws?

Mommy let me go, then she put the object on the floor and let me examine it. Though I didn't dare get too close, it might bite me again! She thinks maybe if I smell it and observe it first then maybe I won't mind it?! I didn't want it to be anywhere near me, so I left it alone. Apparently mommy didn't want it to leave me alone. She picked me up and put me right back on her lap like before and kept using that thing to bite the rest of my claws while I struggled and screamed. Why doesn't she understand the risk she put me through? I hope to never have to fight mommy again.

After that awful event of "clipping my claws" mommy tried to make peace with me by petting me and giving me treats. Yeah, it worked. I'm a sucker for love.
