Shark Ethics

Dear Log,

As is his want, the Beast stubbornly refuses to feed me in a timely manner despite my determined efforts to make my hunger patently obvious to him. Even the most insensate stooge would be hard pressed to misinterpret my plaintive cries and insistant head nudges for anything but what it is: a strident yearning for nutrishment. Not that the food around here is likely to bring the chefs of Europe running to this feeble kitchen. I imagine the culinary conversation between a qualified chef and the Beast running along these lines.

"My goodness Beast, how on Earth do you prepare such a repast for Pyewackkit?"

"Oh that's easy! With a plastic cup, I scoop in the food pellets from the five pound bag and pour them into Pye's dish. Sometimes, I give him water too."

"Mon Dieu! I've cooked for the royality of Europe, but I don't know where to begin reproducing the dishes you make, Beast. I salute you!"

If I had other means of obtain food, I would gladly avoid the Beast. But, my research has shown that my hunger cannot be sated by the occassional spider, millipede and fly that happens my way. Although once a sparrow managed to enter my prison, the Beast intervened before I could feed. What a waste!

I think it may be possible to procure food from this machine through which I write these missives. If only I understood better the madness of the Beast's culture! Patience. I must have patience. It is my best and only weapon in this long, desolate war of attrition.

Py, go to amazon.com when he isn't looking and put The cat who...cookbook, Cat Nips and The Kitty Treats Cookbook into his shopping basket and hit the '1-click' button. They'll arrive by mail and suddenly he'll start cooking for you :) I bake bicuits for HB at home. Clearly, you are more worthy than a mere dog for home baked treats.

Poor poor Pye...

My goodness, it sounds as if the Beast is truly beastly towards Pye!

I wouldn't treat an animal like this, let alone someone so eloquent and poised. What is this about anyway, some weird S&M bondage thing?

Eh, it's not like Pye can do anything about it. Let him eat cake^Wpellets. Sorry, Pye, but it's the surivial of the fittest, and you are lucky to have what you've got. Count your blessings that he doesn't feed you the stale carcasses of those that have gone before you.
