The Schedule of a Cat

12:00am, Roam around the house for no specific reason, and visit everyone’s bedrooms

1:00am, Run around and randomly attack the dog because, why not?

2:00am, Scream because I’m hungry

3:00am, Sit on mother’s face until she wakes up, but once she has woken up, go terrorize dad.

4:00am, dad wakes up, so this is clearly a sign that you should be fed. Scream at dad until he leaves!

5:00am, Jump on the bed with your claws out so that everyone knows that you are here and it is time to pet you.

6:00am, get jumpscared by moms alarm clock, and leave with great repulsion. Then hide because the children have arisen. Randomly run around the house screaming to let everyone know that it is time to wake up.

7:00am, FEED ME. NOW. Mother is in the bathroom, this is clearly a sign that you must scratch attack the door and scream mournfully

8:00am, everyone is gone, and the dog is in his crate. You have no crate. Ha.

9:00am, sleep in between the couch cushions, then wake up hissing as they try to eat you.

10:00am, parade around the dog smugly, go sit on the windowsill and stare hatefully at random people as they pass by to unnerve them.

11:00am, mom is home! Time to go back to being a tiny demon!

12:00pm, purr in moms lap as she reads, *IMPORTANT* If she tries to leave, attack her. You are gracing her with your presence and she must acknowledge this.

1:00pm, mom leaves, so now you are angry. This means go shred the carpet on the stairs!

2:00pm, beauty sleep in a child’s bed while they are at school, remember to put your butt directly on their pillow for full effect.

3:00pm, the children will be home soon…rest vocal cords for screaming!

4:00pm, attack all moving targets, target legs specifically when they are carrying something large, expensive, and breakable. Like a computer! Or a very heavy pot of something boiling!

5:00pm, nap in a weird position

6:00pm, scream to be acknowledged. Why must humans be so dull?

7:00pm, eat dinner, spill it everywhere, then step in it leaving tiny fish pawprints everywhere that the humans must clean up.

8:00pm, take a nap so I will have energy for zoomies! Sleep until 11:00pm

9:00pm, still sleeping

10:00pm, still sleeping-don’t you dare judge me!

11:00pm, wake up with the zoomies! Go rampage around the house like a chaos monger!

12:00am, repeat! Now you know how to be Inky, Elizabeth’s cat!

The One and Only Ivan

By Katherine Applegate

If you believe in the power of words, that they can change hearts and minds, then this is the book for you.

The One and Only Ivan is a beautifully written animal fiction book about a gorilla who is in an awful situation in a circus. It’s a powerful and heartbreaking story that will have you never looking at the world the same way again. It highlights the bitter cruelty and horrific things people can do. How they can take beauty, life, and wonder in their hands. How they can nurture it and help it grow, or ruthlessly crush it.

This is a must-read for anyone who loves animals. It makes me want to do something. To make you fight back. This book thrusts the things we need to change in our faces. Forces us to acknowledge that we must heal the things we have hurt. It captures the feelings of innocence, hope, and love.

It is a beautiful book that you won’t put down until the last page. I love this book! I think the world would be a better place if everyone on earth read this book and kept the morals that it teaches at heart. If you have read this, tell me what you thought! Five stars!

Wait…we had homework!?
