Faithful friends and writers, I long for opposable thumbs. It is futile, but surely humans who can make ladies’ breasts bigger – I’m not sure what that is about – and who can take the wrinkles out of a human face – that, too, baffles me – could find a way to give cats thumbs. If I had even one thumb, I could write my own bulletins. and not have to depend on our human. She was too busy this week to help me until today.
Be that as it may, we are here today working together. And, after all, workers working together is what will overthrow Capitalism. I feel it is my responsibility to say: workers working together, NOT workers clicking together. Those who believe they rule our planet and, therefore, are free to destroy it in the name of their bank accounts, laugh all the way to the stock exchange when they see humans “click”ing in order to make a political statement. We here at the FLF* refuse to take part in such a misguided and futile waste of energy.
Boo, Cowboy Benez and I are out on the street every day. We would hand out fliers if we had opposable thumbs, but we don”t let that stop us. We engage the creatures in our neighborhood: the elegantly shod javelina, the wily raccoons (who tried to break into the human’s car), the crafty and human-marginalized squirrels (they are valiant defenders of their 
peanuts), the know-it-all ravens and our chemical warfare soldiers, the skunks. It would be impossible to organize our comrades in any other way since none of them have opposable thumbs. Excuse me, Comrade Ruti, I beg to differ. I almost had that window open on the human’s car because though I don’t have an opposable thumb, I am extremely dextrous. Note footprint. Raccoon. Thank you, Comrade Racoon. I am sure that if you had achieved your goal, we would have had transportation to take us further afield. (And, there are mice and gophers in those fields.)
I invite any of you to add to this conversation. If you don’t have opposable thumbs, enlist your human. Not only will it add to our dialectic, it will keep the human busy and out of trouble.
Today’s mewsing: Just imagine if the CEO’s and Billionaires had to do their own typing.
