Lessons (from my kitten) on Bratting

As I've been recuperating from my seemingly endless bout with the flu, I've had lots of time to study the behavior of my very naughty kitten, Cassie. I amused myself with interpreting her thoughts into human girl speech...and I shudder to think of what a brat she would be. Cassie with a Top? Oh, Heavens! He wouldn't have a chance!  Here are three very typical exchanges, inspired by her behavior with me...

Top to Cassie: Why did you break that vase?
Cassie: I didn't!
TtoC: You did! I watched you!
Cassie: Because it was ugly. It looks better now, broken into a million pieces! Look, I'm going to dance on the pieces of it!
TtoC: (grabbing her by the waist and lifting her out of the shards) Stop it, you're going to cut your feet!
Cassie: (slapping at Top and kicking) Put me down! I don't care! They're my feet!



TtoC: Cassie, come here, I need to talk to you.
Cassie: No, I have something to do under the bathtub right now (darts under tub)
TtoC: Cassie, this is ridiculous, I just want to talk with you.
Cassie: No. You stink. I don't like you. I'm resting right now.
TtoC: I stink? Are you kidding?
Cassie: No. You make me sick with the way you smell. See how I wrinkle up my nose and stick my tongue out when you try to touch me? That's because of the way you smell. I have to rest under the tub for a while.





TtoC: (preparing dinner) Cassie, be patient, it's not dinnertime quite yet.
Cassie: (purring) But I love you so much!
TtoC: You say that now, because I'm making your dinner.
Cassie: (with an appalled look) How can you say that?!? I'm always such a good little kitten!
