President of Vet Network to Yours Truly: "Have You Lost Your Sense of Humor?"

Over a Year ago the Blog-like section of the United Pet Care website posted an essay that set itself the task of telling us "pets" what for.

I was sort of surprised no-one had taken issue with the piece since it first apeared, whenever, and where ever, that originally was. ;-D

Well, I took care of that on Febraury 18th, with this post: Taking Issue with House Rules For Pets . ;-D

The website allows visitors to send in comments, and so...on Feb. 19th...I sent the following:

Dear UPC folks,

I am a Blogger, and have been so since 2002, though I only got a place all
to myself last month. ;-D

After recently reading an article in the Orange County Register about you (Pet care network offers savings at checkout), I took time out from valuable Nap Time to check out your website.

I found an article that I took serious issue with, and that cried out for
rebutal!

I refer to the one called \"House Rules for Pets\"

You can read it here:

Taking Issue with House Rules For Pets

It took a while, but I received a response...yesterday. ;-D

 

Dear Nikita Cat of Santa Ana Ca,

I am truly sorry that you took issue with an article on our website. I am
happy for you that you "finally got the place to yourself" because you are
probably much happier that way. I take issue with your reaction to a fun
article that we put on our website. I think that you need to find your sense
of humor because you must have lost it! I know that you will enjoy life more
it you do! Incidently, we are cat lovers also!

Very, very interesting, I'm sure you would agree. ;-D

Someone may not have a sense of humor but, as long time readers of my writing already know...it sure ain't me! ;-D

This morning I have sent the following reply to her direct e-mail, which she kindly used to write me:

Dear Doris,
 
It's me, Nikita Cat, again!
 
I wish to sincerely thank you for your response to my initial contact, but I am a tad puzzled by your reaction.
 
I am truly sorry that you took issue with my essay on my blog, but from your reaction I must ask if your are just writing in response to just my contact e-mail, having not actually read the essay itself?
 
I am happy for you that you are "Arizona's premier pet healthcare program, family owned and operated, serving Arizona since 1996" because it obvious makes you happy, and justly proud.
 
I take issue with your reaction to a fun, opinionated, essay that I wrote (Raising some very serious questions that your response does not even bother to respond to!), defending Pussydom Assembled the world over (No-one else saw the need, apparently, so I did what I felt had to be done for the honor of Felines and, yes, even Dogs, too.)
 
I think that you seriously need to find your sense of humor because you must have lost it! (If you read my essay then you surely noticed the smileys?) 
 
I know that you will enjoy life more it you do!
 
Incidently, some of my Best Friends are Dogs, including a Purebred Rottweiler who has lived among Cats in Ca., and Va., since birth (as did its predecessor, whom I also knew in Ca.) and who can "Yodel" (True Story!), also like its predecessor.
 
Sincerely yours,

NIKITA CAT

I will update this story as developements warrant. ;-D

Nikita dude, worry ye not about these grumpy apes.

Apes often get out of bed on "the wrong side", this renders them miserable, and humourless, all day long.

We got the humour of your original article, & it was very funny.

Cats. Hate. Rules.

Period.

Score: Nikita 2 Miss Doris 0

[Daisy the Curly Cat]

Nikita, you are a cat with an excellent sense of humor!

[A few Good Cats]

Nikita, this sounds like a simple misunderstanding, and you have done an honorable thing by keeping the lines of communication open between yourself, and Doris Amdur.

We would be interested in hearing her response -- maybe she was having a bad day and this will give her a chance to clear things up.

[Amy & The House of Cats]

We saw this mentioned at the CB, and had to stop by!

That lady is nuts - she totally thought you were a human or something.

We went, and read your post, and thought it was hilarious!

Our human thought so too!

[Abby]

Go Nikita GO!

purr on!

[meowmeowmans]

We thought your original posting was brilliant, Nikita!

So don't pay any attention to Miss Doris ...

maybe she really *did* lose her sense of humor...

Have a great weekend. :)

This kind of reminds us of when Jeter Harris received a response from a company saying he doesn't speak English.

And as we all know, he speaks perfect English.

Must have been his accent.

We'd take a guess the lady who wrote that isn't a furry blogger but a real human and as we posted today, humans are strange!

We hope her sense of humor was merely misplaced with her glasses, and this will soon be straightened out.

[Momo]

Whoever has lost her sense of humour isn't you.

What's the problem with these humans?

Since when have kitties paid any attention to rules?

[Ballicai]

Yay Nikita!

We Ballicai are back! Momma gave us a brand new blog. Check us out at the linkin our name!

Hugs and purrs from Brainball, MaoMao, Dorydoo, and Marilyn MonREOW.
