Feline Freedom League February 2023 Mission Report

From: Agent Probie
To: Mr. Whiskers
Date: 5 February 2023
Subject: Mission Report
I have to admit this place isn’t that bad. I’ve been trying to get information from the agents outside this new habitation, but I’ve been thwarted each time. I am going to have to sneak out at some point. I’m not sure the humans will allow it. Is the information that important? Perhaps I could direct the agent to send it directly to headquarters herself.

The humans are hyper-vigilant after Agent Skittlebutt left. I’ve been trying to work out new work stations and observation places. Tensions are high here. We have lost personal territory. That’s why we are arguing so much. I know that. I can’t stop arguing with Agents Zoe and Winnie. I am in charge. I should be above that kind of thing.

Anyway, I need to come up with a schedule for duties. Who should do what and when. It’s not easy when we are all snapping at each other and fighting. I’m sure I have no idea how to regain the balance we once had. Agent Skittlebutt was helpful in that regard. I know he craved the life he once knew, that of an outdoor agent.

As for the rest of us, we must carry on. It isn’t easy. We’ve been uprooted and moved, willy-nilly to this place. We have to carve our personal territories out. I’m not certain the humans understand the importance of territory is to a feline. They probably wouldn’t care even if they did understand the concept.

I may have sounded a bit autocratic, and perhaps that set him off. I would appreciate some guidance on dividing territory into personal territories. It could only help. I did try the library, but the move was so sudden and chaotic, the library and accompanying archive are yet to be set up. We are lucky we have them at all. I have told Agent Winnie to pick a place and set up the archive there. He is the only reason we have them. He did a superb job of packing our things, as did Agent Zoe.

I find myself snapping at her and Agent Winnie whenever they come near me. They don’t always deserve such treatment. Then there is the added pressure of trying to get that information from the outside agent. Isn’t there a better way for them to send their intelligence reports to headquarters? It seems to me that would be a good thing for us to develop, a simple method of getting information to where it needs to be. I don’t mind getting out to retrieve it, it’s just that the timing is so bad. I have so much to do. I suppose I could try to delegate the retrieval, but I’m not sure either Agent Zoe or Agent Winnie would be willing to do it. So I assigned it to myself. Now I’m wondering if I made a mistake. If I have, I don’t know how to fix it. I think I may have to call a meeting and lay down the law. We need to iron out the personal territory issue first. We are all too distracted by that. I will get the information somehow and transmit it to headquarters as soon as possible.

About pebblepup

I am not one who is comfortable talking about myself but here goes. I enjoy writing, family history, and reading. I decided to do this blog because I wanted to try something new. I decided to make it a weekly blog because I wasn't sure that I could keep up with a daily one, and monthly seemed like I was writing a magazine. I think I did ok with my choices. You'll notice that there are not a lot of graphics on my site. That's because there are graphics plastered everywhere on the Internet and those sites sometimes take forever to load. This blog is a place where you can kick back, relax and be ready to be amused. At least I hope I willbamuse you. This blog is on a variety of subjects from my ficitional cat agency, the FFL, which is monthly, to instructional blogs to editorials, which are my opinions only. I admit that I don't know everything and could be wrong -- I frequently am. Now, stop reading about me and read what I have to say!
