Dear Terry, I am Petey Cat. Mom told me I had to get along with Fred Dog. No chasing the dog. No making him crazy on purpose and then letting him take the blame for the aftermath. Mom is taking all my fun away. But I have been trying. Sometimes Fred Dog is good company. Every morning I jump the gate and say Hello FredDog! I head butt him and walk all around him and head butt him some more. This morning he was being extra special nice so I head butted him and I walked under him and all around him and head butted him some more. You know what he did? He pushed me with his nose! Like he does to his favorite people when he checks on them. Like Dad. I purred for Fred and we sat quietly next to each other for a few minutes. Then I had things to do. Like takeover the living room. I jumped on top of the TV and played like I was the Lion King looking out over the kingdom. ROARRRRRR! Oh and then I pushed the gate over on Fred. Mom said PETEY that was on purpose! and I ran really fast like I see the cheetahs do on TV. I can't be good all the time now can I?

ROARRRRRR! Petey.

P.S. It's me Fred. Mom said sometimes I have to let Petey Cat write some stuff. I am supposed to make him feel like he is part of the family. So in the morning I let him come in the bedroom and don't make a fuss because then Mom gets upset. Sometimes he is pretty good company. I nose pushed him this mornig to let him know I can be his friend. Mom really liked that. I got lots of pets for being so good. Petey Cat said it's no fun being Good! You should do something bad once in awhile Fred! I try real hard not to be bad. I told Petey he should try too. Me and Dad had fun today. Dad lined up some snacks for me and he made blueberry muffins and I got a big bite of one! YUMMY!
