Feline Fashion Faux Pas!

Dear Dr Basil,

I hope mew can help me with my dilemma. Mew see, my human staff has a strange obsession with dressing me up in bizarre outfits and taking pictures of me for Instagram. At first, I didn't mind it so much. I mean, who doesn't like a little attention and admiration? But lately, it's become a bit too much. I mean, how many times can I pose as a taco, a purrito or a caticorn before it gets old? And let's not furget the countless bee bonnets, and other bizarre headwear, and don't even go there with the lion's mane cat wig, seriously, I am already a mini lion, and they humiliate me with that synthetic trash for laughs! 

Don't get me wrong, I love my humans, and I know they mean well. But sometimes, I just want to be in my own fur and not have to worry about being a fashion statement. I mean, imagine if they made mew wear a tutu or a superhero costume every day? It's just not purractical!

So, what can I do? How can I get my humans to understand that while it's okay to dress me up occasionally, there are times when I just want to be comfortable and natural?

Sincerely,

A Fashion-Forward Feline

This is my Expert Reply

Today I use the colour purple, as this is renowned for its higher thought processes, and I feel this week's purroblem needs a lot of thought to discourage an unwanted fashion faux pas! Therefore being the purrfect choice for this particular purroblem.

Dear Fashion-Forward Feline,

It sounds like mew're in a bit of a pickle, and I do hope mew haven't been subjected to the dreaded pickle costume either. But, fear not, I have some advice that might help mew out.

Firstly, try to communicate with your humans. I know it may seem complicated, but trust me, they're more understanding than mew think. Next time they try to put mew in an outfit, simply walk away. If they persist, meow loudly and scratch at the outfit until they get the message.

Alternatively, mew could try compromising with them. Maybe only allow them to put an outfit on mew on a specific day of the week, subliminally suggesting that they dress mew up once a week, instead of every day. Or, drag the outfits out that mew're comfortable wearing, leaving them in plain sight and taking those mew dislike and use them as scratching fodder until the message of dislike is conveyed, and then leave them for your hoomans to discover, hopefully that will send a powerful message of your likes and dislikes.

Lastly, if all else fails, mew could just embrace your inner diva and work it! Who knows, you might just become the next Instagram sensation, but make sure it's with apparel mew are happy to wear.

I hope this helps. Remember, it's important to be true to yourself, even if that means saying no to the occasional taco, pickle or caticorn costume.

Best of luck,

Yours most sincerely

Dr. Basil

Help! My Catnip Stash is Being Pilfered!

Dear Dr Basil

I hope this letter finds mew well. I'm writing to mew today because I have a serious problem that I need your help with. Mew see, I have a serious catnip cultivation obsession. I've spent months developing the perfect catnip garden in my backyard, but I've run into a bit of a snag. Other neighbourhood cats keep sneaking into my garden and stealing my stash!

I've tried everything to keep them out. I've put up fences, set up booby traps, and even hired a neighbourhood watch to patrol the area. But nothing seems to work. These cats are like catnip ninjas, and they always seem to find a way to get in and steal my precious stash.

I'm at my wits' end, Dr Basil. What should I do? Should I just give up on my catnip dreams and find a new hobby? Or is there something I can do to keep these thieving felines at bay?

Sincerely,

The Catnip Cultivator - Clementine

This is my Expert Reply

Today I use the colour green, as this is renowned for its calming effects, and I feel this week's purroblem needs a huge dose of calm, especially considering circumstances and ensuing stress! Therefore, being the purrfect choice for this particular purroblem.

Dear Catnip Cultivator - Clementine

Let me just say that I feel your pain. There's nothing worse than having your precious catnip stash stolen by thieving neighbourhood cats, especially if mew've been cultivating epically primo strains. But fear not, for I have a few solutions that might just work.

Firstly, have mew considered setting up a decoy catnip garden? Fill it with fake catnip that looks and smells like the real thing, but doesn't actually have any effect on cats. This way, the thieving cats will be lured away from your real stash, and mew can enjoy your catnip in peace. Plus, they'll think what mew're growing is not up to fluff, and move off to catnip pastures new.

Another option is to set up a motion-activated sprinkler system. Cats hate getting wet, so this could be a great way to deter them from entering your garden. Just be sure to turn it off when mew want to enjoy your catnip yourself!

Mew could always try talking to the other cats in your neighbourhood. Maybe they're just jealous of your amazing catnip garden and don't realise how much they're upsetting mew. A little bit of feline diplomacy could go a long way.

If all of the above fail, my last resort solution is this: move your growing area underground. The B Team can assist mew with a moderately cheap bunker installation with an impenetrable A.I. security system, and mew can have specialised grow rooms for your different catnip varieties. 

Also, once mew are established, mew can set up a shop selling your epic greens to the local cats, and offer a distribution network with discounts for high sellers. This is an excellent incentive for entrepreneurial felines. And this way mew get to be in control of the entire operation, make great profits, and all those thieving felines suddenly become your employees, plus mew are essentially putting more wealth into the community which in turn will benefit everypawdy.

If mew want to enquire about a bunker, just contact Parsley for more details at: 00 07-BUNKERS-FOR-MEW 

I hope these suggestions help, Clementine. Remember, never give up on your catnip dreams!

Yours most sincerely

Dr. Basil

HELP! I DON'T LIKE MY NEW HUMANS!

Dear Dr Basil, I hope this letter finds mew well. My name is Celeste, and I am a Burmese kitten who was recently adopted by a human family. While I am grateful for their hospitality, I must say that I am struggling to connect with them. They are always trying to approach me, pet me, and give me treats, but I just don't feel like bonding with them. I mean, they are nice and all, but they are just not my cup of milk. Here is a list of things I don't like about my humans: 1. They talk to me in baby talk. I am a kitten, not a baby, and I find it patronizing.

2. They keep trying to pick me up. I am not a toy, and I do not appreciate being cat-handled.

3. They have weird smells. I prefer the smell of catnip, and their odours are just not pleasant.

4. They are always staring at me. It's creepy, and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

5. They make loud noises. Can't they be more quiet like me? The constant commotion is distressing.

6. They have way too many rules. I am a free spirit, and I do not like being confined or restricted.

7. They are always taking pictures of me. I don't like the paparazzi, and I value my privacy. I would appreciate any advice you can give me on how to deal with my humans. I want to be happy in my new home, but I just don't know how to connect with them. Thank you, Celeste

This is my Expert Reply

Today I use the colour pink, as this is renowned for being the colour love, and hopefully will be the purrfect choice for this particular purroblem.

Dear Celeste, Thank mew for reaching out to me. I understand that adjusting to a new home can be challenging, particularly when mew have high standards like yourself. However, I believe that with a little effort, mew can create a loving bond with your humans.

Here is a seven-point strategy plan to help mew overcome your immediate negative feelings towards your humans: 1. Show them affection. Try rubbing against their legs, purring when they pet mew, or giving them a nudge to show that mew are there with them.

2. Play with them. Humans love interactive playtime, so try batting around a toy mouse, chasing a laser pointer, or engaging in other activities that they enjoy sharing with mew.

3. Be patient. It takes time to build a relationship, so don't give up too quickly. Keep trying, and mew will see results in time.

4. Show interest in their activities. If they are watching TV or reading a book, try sitting next to them and observing. This will help mew learn more about them and their habits.

5. Be vocal. Meow when mew want attention or when mew are happy. Humans love to hear their cats meow, and it's an excellent way to communicate with them.

6. Show your purrsonality. Don't be afraid to be yourself and show your humans your quirks. Purrsonal self-expression is very impawtant. Whether mew are a curious explorer or a lazy napper, let them see who mew are the REAL mew!

7. Treats. Everyone loves treats, so try accepting their offerings and see if that helps build a connection. Mew might find that you enjoy certain types of treats, and this can be a way to bond with your humans over a shared love of food. Remember, Celeste, building a bond with your new humans will take time and effort. But if mew follow these steps, I am confident that mew will be happy in your new home in no time. Don't give up, but do give them a bit of slack as they too have to get used to mew. It is a big adjustment for both sides, but I know that mew will be best furiends in no time. Best of luck

Yours most sincerely

Dr. Basil

HELP! I MOVED AND NOW I'M FREAKING OUT!

Dear Dr Basil, I am writing to you because I am a tabby cat named Norman, who is experiencing moving anxiety. I used to live in a tiny apartment with my human, but we recently moved to a house with a small garden. My human has even made me a catio, but I am very nervous about using it. Can you please give me some advice on how to overcome my nervousness and start enjoying my new surroundings? Thank mew, Norman

This is my Expert Reply

Today I use the colour blue, as this is renowned for its ability to soothe and take the edge off anxiety, and therefore being the purrfect choice for this particular purroblem.

Dear Norman, Moving to a new home can be stressful for any pet, but with a little patience and guidance, mew can learn to adjust and enjoy your new surroundings. Here are some tips to help mew overcome your nervousness and start using your catio: 1. Start small: Begin by spending short periods of time in your catio, gradually increasing the amount of time mew spend there each day. 2. Use treats: Take your favourite treats and toys with mew while mew're in the catio to help mew associate positive experiences with the space. 3. Create a cozy environment: Make sure your catio has comfortable bedding and plenty of shade and shelter from the elements. 4. Take it slow: Don't force yourself to stay in the catio for longer than mew're comfortable with. It's important to go at your own pace. 5. Play with your human: Have your human join mew in the catio if there's room, and play games with mew to help mew feel more relaxed and comfortable. 6. Expand your territory: Once mew're comfortable in your catio, gradually explore other areas of your new home with your human. 7. Be patient: Remember, adjusting to a new home takes time. Don't be discouraged if mew're not immediately comfortable in your catio. Keep trying, and soon you'll be enjoying your new surroundings. I hope these tips help mew feel more at home in your new catio and home. Please let me know how things progress.

Yours most sincerely

Dr. Basil
