Mike and Tyla's cat, Chester, has branched out from peeing on their couch -- he now offers the full suite of defecation options and he left samples on their bed this morning.
Tyla challenged me to come up with a hallmark-style card for the occasion. I didn't have time to actually make one, but here's the concept (once I started thinking about it, I couldn't get back to work until the poem was done).
Front Cover:
Photo of a bed with a cat lying on it, looking smug.
U is for the urges that your cat just won't ignore;
R is for the retching as the smell wafts through the door;
I is for intransigence - he knows what litter's for.
N is for the next time. What uric bounty is in store?
E is for exasperation - yet more petits trésors!
Inside:
Plain white but with a grey "stain" spreading out from the middle of the card. Text overlaid:
Sorry your cat soiled your bed.
