“Leemo has views on just about anything”

THE ‘TRIPLE 0’ NUMBER IS FORBIDDEN (to cats).

‘Cos I, ‘Leemo Cat’ have an exceptionally high 6th SENSE, I immediately felt an ominous air emanating from the direction of ‘Mum Jane’ as she came toward me. (Quick Leems, hide hide!) Alas, too late. OMG! She rudely & roughly (I shall call RSPCA a er this treatment!) plonked me on a chair and started kinda yelling. ‘Leemo,

HOW MANY TIMES must I tell you that the Triple 0 Emergency phone number is not there for you or any of your buddies to call when your bowls happen to be empty at 3a.m. Nor does being chased by a dog constitute an emergency. GOTTIT??’ I heard you all having a cosy chat this morning about the horror of nding your food bowls empty whilst roaming your houses in the middle of the night and what you all should do about it. Well, Leems, go get your buddies in here ere were murmurings of audience dissent but the silly old woman continued. ‘So, if your bowl is empty or a dog does chase you, suck it up guys, (dogs are, in general, ‘sposed to chase cats by the way!) but DO NOT call the Triple-0 number. THAT V.I.P number is dedicated to situations of genuine crisis, used to alert the Police, Fire Brigade or Ambulance when urgent assistance is needed. You lot have put yourselves in the category of ‘nuisance callers’ which is another kinda name for ‘total idiots and time wasters’ of this most essential service. Your calls about empty food bowls are as bad, (actually worse) than some of THESE ‘recorded’ calls made to Triple 0. “Can you order me a burger” or “I’m late for my appointment, can you ring them and let them know” or “I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes to talk to someone about my power bill so I’m ringing you” or “my phone is out of order, could you report it” or “I promised my son we could stay in the overnight tents at the Zoo but they’re booked out”. So, please realise guys, you can be ned AND sent to jail for making on-going nuisance calls of little of no relevance, such as the above AND yours.

RIGHT NOW ‘cos I have something to say to you all. And before you ask, YES, I will provide treats AFTER I’ve addressed you!’ Crikey! I rounded up my buddies and we sat trying to look interested. She started. ‘OK you lot, I am going to tell you a few facts. Don’t interrupt me. You may ask questions when I’ve nished. Are any of you aware that the Triple 0 number receives between 9 and 9.5 million calls per year and that 30% of these calls are found to be non-genuine emergencies, akin to the ones you make ref empty bowls or a dog chasing you.’ Hmmm?

OMG! My buddies were restless; I asked Mum to leave the room whilst we discussed her words. My friend ‘Treasure’ is a most sensible feline; she put her right paw in the air and spoke. ‘Right what we all need to do is talk with our humans. ey feed us at around 6pm; cat hunger returns in 5 hours. SO, we’ll get them to drill a hole through the door of their fridges and poke so tubing through it to a big bowl of food; then we can avail ourselves of a treat at any time by sucking on the tube.’ ‘Treasure’ bowed to loud paw claps & cheers. BUT THEN, mayhem. Crabby faced Mum appeared and shouted at us. “I AM NOT drilling a hole in my fridge.” Oooh. We sprinted o faster than Usain Bolt to ponder our dilemma yet another day. Nitey, Leemo. (up tree!)
