hello… i’m TYE<\/b> and i don’t think it’s very nice to have a thing that sounds like another thing when the new thing doesn’t even do what the old thing did…<\/p>\n

let me explain…<\/p>\n

so i guess JASPER<\/b> told you about the noisy humans who ran around and chased away the strange outdoor humans… well they used a weird noise machine to do that… and it sounded a LOT like the FOOD NOISE that FOOD ROBOT makes when it wants to feed us… i was very confused by that… LADY GREY<\/b> agreed that it was almost exactly the same sound… except longer and louder… yeah i know THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID…<\/p>\n

anyway… i figured out after the first few times that it was NOT FOOD ROBOT calling us… and i realized that if the noise came from OUTSIDE the apartment i could ignore it because it didn’t mean we were going to get food…<\/p>\n

now the good news is… our humans came back tonight just before dark and cleaned up all the mess and gave us wet cat food which is great… the bad news is… they also brought back one of those weird noise machines… i call it WEIRD NOISE ROBOT… because it’s like FOOD ROBOT… except it makes the WEIRD NOISE and DOES NOT give us cat food… LAME…<\/p>\n

the problem is… the humans put WEIRD NOISE ROBOT right outside the sliding glass door… so it’s very close to FOOD ROBOT who is indoors… and when either one of them makes a noise… it sounds like it could be coming from the same place… so of course i have to RUSH out there and make sure i’m not missing any food… and usually it’s a false alarm…<\/p>\n

but the humans think it’s important to have WEIRD NOISE ROBOT there… i heard them talking about how it would “repel” the strange outdoor humans if they got too close… and it seems to be working… which makes it less interesting for us cats to look out the windows now…<\/p>\n

even so… i prefer having OUR humans home again… i missed hanging out with them in the TV room… and sleeping in the bed with them… and eating wet cat food… i like food… mmm… FOOD…<\/p>\n
