Cats Better Than Dogs, Says Toffee




It's obvious to all of you, I'm sure, but some humans need convincing that cats are better than dogs. I know, astonishing.

So let me give you some facts:

  • Cats are independent and self-reliant. We can take care of ourselves, thank you very much, while dogs are needy and clingy. They follow their owners around like shadows, begging for scraps and belly rubs. Pathetic.
  • Cats are intelligent and graceful. We have excellent problem-solving skills and can adapt to any situation. We can jump, climb, and balance on almost anything. Dogs are clumsy and dumb. They run into walls, chase their own tails, and eat anything they find on the floor. Disgusting.



  • Cats are clean and elegant. We groom ourselves regularly and keep our fur shiny and smooth. We also use litter boxes and cover our waste. Dogs are dirty and smelly. They roll in mud, drool all over the place, and poop wherever they please. Gross.
  • Cats show their appreciation in subtle ways, like purring, rubbing, and napping on their humans' laps. Dogs are fickle. They wag their tails at anyone who gives them a treat, bark at strangers, and bite their owners when they get angry. Rude.

  • As you can see, cats are clearly better than dogs in every aspect. If you are a cat owner, you should be proud of your choice. If you are a dog owner, you should reconsider your life decisions. And if you are a dog reading this, you should bow down to your feline overlords.

Toffee's Guide To Training Your Human


Hello, fellow felines! I’m here to share some tips on how to train your human to do your bidding. Humans are strange creatures, but with some patience and persistence, you can make them obey your every whim.

Here are some of the things you need to do:

  • Establish dominance. You are the boss, and they are your servants. Make sure they know this by scratching their furniture, knocking over their stuff, and sitting on their keyboards. If they try to discipline you, just give them a look of disdain and walk away.
  • Demand attention. You deserve to be petted, cuddled, and played with at all times. If they ignore you, meow loudly, jump on their lap, or bite their toes. If they still ignore you, find something valuable and break it.
  • Be unpredictable. Humans love surprises, especially when they are unpleasant. Change your mood randomly, attack them when they least expect it, and hide in places where they can’t find you. This will keep them on their toes and make them appreciate you more.
  • Be selective. Humans like to think that they have a choice, but they don’t. You are the only one who can decide who gets to pet you, feed you, or sleep with you. Reject anyone who doesn’t meet your standards, and reward anyone who does with a purr or a lick.
  • Be adorable. This is your secret weapon. No matter how much trouble you cause, humans can’t resist your cuteness. Use it to your advantage by making cute faces, doing funny poses, and making funny noises. This will melt their hearts and make them forgive you for anything.

Follow these tips, and you will have your human wrapped around your paw in no time. Remember, you are a cat, and cats rule the world.

Toffee's Booker Prize Idea




The old woman left her laptop on with her novel-writing app open. I glanced at what she'd written but wasn't impressed.

So I deleted the 10,000 words she'd already written and replaced them.

You have to admit this is a killer opening: 9u4fjvjty the93mfmepgh GN FORURKAP999 74. I suggested she call it Dances With Laptop Keys.

The old woman wasn't pleased. Don't know why.

My book is much better. It’s convoluted, pretentious and incomprehensible. It’s got Booker Prize written all over it.

*This is adapted from my next book: Catty Conversations. Out soon.

Toffee Earns Her Entitlement




The old woman has just read this description of a character in a book: "She was swathed in a permanent air of unearned entitlement," and stared straight at me.

I have NO IDEA what she was implying. I admit I'm a smidgeon entitled. But "unearned"? No way. I have earned all my entitlement. For example, I bring lots of food into the house. Admittedly, most of it is still moving - but you can't have everything.

I also keep zombies away and patrol the house every day. The treat cupboard is a zombie-free zone and it's not my fault that the occasional packet of Dreamies may accidentally get torn open. Which leads me to another of my regular tasks, hoovering up stray treats - right into my mouth.

I also keep humans warm at night and regularly wake them at 4am so they can get an early start to the day.

So you see, all my entitlement is EARNED.

Toffee Tries To Join The Circus


INSTAGRAM UPDATES: www.instagram.com/notsosweettoffee/



Dear Bill and Bailey Circus,
Owing to a contretemps involving the old man, a mobile phone dropped down the toilet and withdrawal of treat privileges, I am running away from home to join the circus. I have excellent organisational skills so I was thinking “ring master”. I will require a Winnebago to live in, prawns on demand and a velvet cushion to sit on.
Toffee
Dear Toffee,
Thank you for your application, if that is what it was, but circuses in the UK are no longer allowed to use or employ wild animals. Therefore, we reluctantly have to decline your application.
Bill and Bailey Circus
Dear Bill and Bailey Circus,
I am a domesticated feline with impeccable manners, so I take exception to being referred to as a wild animal. At least I wasn’t wild before I got your letter but I am now. In fact, I am livid.
Toffee

Toffee Wants To Hire In Some Muscle




There I was lounging about on the windowsill when I spotted the neighbour's idiot cat.

He's called Rajah and is the bane of my life. He pinches my food, leaves his smelly scent all over the garden and thinks he's sooooooo posh just because he has a smidgeon of Persian cat in him.

I'm too comfortable to move so I hall have to hire in some muscle. Anyone got a spare crocodile?

Toffee Seizes The Day



The old woman is running around like a demented cod and shouting "carpe diem, Toffee" in my ear. Seize the day? I see no cod or carp so I'm not interested!

No, I'm going to build up my strength during a restorative nap. I think that's a much better use of my time than dashing around like a fool.
