This is one of my cases via email:

HELP! I NEED A NEW FAMILY!!!!

Dear Dr. Basil, I hope this letter finds mew in good health and high spirits, although I must admit that I am not in the same state of purrfection myself. Mew see, a traumatic event has recently occurred in my otherwise delightful feline life. My family, in a misguided attempt to add to our household, has brought home a sausage dog named Bub. Yes, mew heard that right, a sausage dog named Bub. As a sophisticated Siamese, I have always prided myself on my impeccable taste and refined sensibilities. And let me tell mew, Bub’s boisterous barking and rambunctious behavior have thrown the delicate balance of our household into disarray. It feels like the feline monarchy has been rudely invaded by a rowdy commoner! In light of this distressing turn of events, I find myself contemplating the unthinkable – trading in my current family for a more feline-friendly set of humans, and one that doesn't come with a side of sausage dog. But before I take such drastic measures, I thought it wise to seek your esteemed counsel on this matter. Is it unreasonable to expect a peaceful coexistence with a sausage dog named Bub? Am I overreacting to the point of melodrama? Or should I start packing my catnip collection and looking for a more canine-free environment? I trust in your wisdom to guide me through this tumultuous time and eagerly await your expert advice. Yours sincerely, Jade The Sophisticated Siamese


This is my Expert Reply

Dear Jade,

I understand that having a sausage dog named Bub join your family has caused quite the ruckus in your peaceful feline kingdom. It's completely understandable that mew're feeling a bit miffed about the whole situation. However, trading your family in might be a tad drastic, don't mew think?

Here's some sage advice to help mew navigate this new hairy territory:
1. Find Common Ground: Have mew tried finding common interests with Bub? Perhaps there's a shared love for sunny napping spots or tasty treats that mew both can enjoy. Building a bond with Bub might make his presence more bearable. 2. Establish Boundaries: It's vital to establish your own space within the household. Make sure mew have designated areas where mew can retreat to without the intrusion of Bub. This way, mew can have some "purrsonal meow time" without feeling stressed. 3. Seek Support: Have mew had an open and honest conversation with your family about how Bub's arrival has affected mew? Expressing your feelings to them might help them understand and make necessary adjustments to ensure peace and harmony among the furry members of the family. (And no hissing!) Remember, it's essential to approach this situation with an open mind and a sprinkle of humour. Who knows, after a little time has past, mew might just find a furiend in Bub after all! Wishing you a purrfect resolution,
Dr. Basil

  1. Dogs are quite annoying at first, but they settle in. I do hope Jade helps this one settle quickly.

  5. That sounds like sensible advice, Dr. Basil! I'm sure a puppy dog does feel like quite an intrusion to Jade!

  7. Even though dogs are more work than cats Jade needs to let the dog(s)know she's queen bee and she rules the house with an iron paw MOL, LOL
