    1. You make every day brighter with your presence.
    2. I love you.
    3. Please don’t lick your junk within earshot. It sounds gross.

    I would listen to them and let them tell me what they want, what i can do better. Oh, i would explain to them why i would take them to the vet. I don’t need to tell them how much i love them, we don’t need language for that :-)

    Aw man, the feels. I wish I could have told my cat during euthanasia how much I love her and how everything was okay, I know she was in a weird unknown vet’s office and she was in pain but it was going to be over soon, and how much she transformed my life and made it better, and that I hope I did right by her for the eight years she was part of my life. Love you babycat ♥️

      I wish I could’ve told one of my late cats that all those vet trips were not me being mean. That all those horrible tablets and medicines were not being evil. But that’s he’s very ill and needs those to live longer.

    I love you all so much, I don’t know if anyone can understand just how much. You make my life better in ways I can’t explain.

    Jack, you’re 15, and I know it’s a long walk, but please stop peeing on any piece of fabric that lands on the floor. You’re a cat, and your pee smells like ammonia’s older brother who works out and doesn’t shower.

    Monty, I know the IVDD makes it difficult for you to play and move around as much as you want, and I just need you to never jump off the bed again. That will make things better. I will always be here to carry you.

    Mary, Maizie, you’re the babies, and I know you think you can jump off the bed, but just don’t do it, and you won’t end up with problems like Monty has. Also, stop pooping inside. You love going outside so much, you’re always excited. Why do you hold it, and poop in your evil little poop hiding spots? Go poop outside, please!

    Daddy loves you all, and tonight I will make you all shredded chicken and carrots.

      You should get some of those foam stairs for dogs, and train them to use them. Get a few, one for each accessible side of the bed, two for your couch.

        We have ramps up onto the bed for them to get on. But they refuse to use them to get down. :/ Monty, the oldest, will just wait to be picked up unless there’s some life threatening danger going (like I get up to go to the bathroom and don’t take him with me. Lol). But the girls just superman off the bed no matter what I do. :(

          They just might not be used to them. The way we do it with our couch is to literally buy 4 of those foam stairs and place it all along the front, and give them no choice but to use those stairs. For your bed, if you haven’t already, you can train them to use the stairs going down using treats.

          I believe flat ground is more comfortable to them, so I do recommend stairs instead of ramps; do take me with a grain of salt, though, for I am no expert.

    Please let me trim your claws, it doesn’t hurt and you won’t get stuck on carpet or scratch up your face.

    I’m moving soon, and won’t be taking the cat that has lived with me for their entire life, since he is my roommate’s cat.

    I wish I could sit down and explain to him why he won’t see me as much anymore, and that I love him, and will miss him. Also to stop eating every god damn thing he finds on the floor.

    There is no need to yodel like a drunk hooligan every time I put you in the transport box - neither the car nor the box ever hurt you, the vet only wants to help you, and screaming your little lungs out won’t make any of it go by faster. And please stop trying to eat the fly screen, I’m tired of having to replace it every other month.

    Anything you eat that is not directly from me can kill you. Find something you want to eat, and I’ll trade you treats for it. No questions asked. Especially other dogs poop. I love you.

    I love you.

    No licking!

    Baths are not the enemy.

    Stop acting like you’re dying when I trim your nails, it’s for your own good.

    There is nothing to be scared of.

    You should try to make dog friends at the park instead of just finding the nearest human who will pet you.

    You can have that piece of cheese, I promise there isn’t a pill hidden in it this time.

    You don’t own the sidewalk or the park across the street, it’s none of your business if there are other dogs there.

    You are the cutest floof in the world, I love you so much.

    “When we pat the cushion, that means we want you to jump on the couch and join us. Why don’t you understand that universal sign for ‘come here’?”
