i write this from my cell on day #44

Apr 19, 2020

I was captured a few moments ago and placed into a holding cell. My crime was eating an entire stick of butter I stole from the kitchen counter. I heard the human (the one with hair on top of the head — not the human with hair on the face) — right before the cell door clanged locking me inside — say I might be forced to eat cocoa powder and oatmeal so I could create cookies for the humans and their offspring.

I’ve noticed of late the 2-legged creatures here have a lower tolerance for my plundering. I love stealing skillets from under the queen human’s oven. She laughed and laughed when I did it last week! This morning, she didn’t find it at all funny so I ran really fast with the loot and took it under the bed with me. It wasn’t kind the way she talked to me after that. That’s why I ate the stick of butter. Paper and all.

It was all fun and games yesterday. I watched the human queen mowing out the window and thoroughly enjoyed seeing her stooping to manual labor.

Freedom is only a memory…
