Pebblepup's Writing Den

The recruits do make my job a bit harder, I will say that. On the positive side, they are learning to accept felines with disabilities. Most of them have never seen a cat with motor issues like mine. They are curious and I try to explain the best I can.

My main problem is that I don’t understand my own disability all that well. It’s like my brain sends a message to the muscles, but it arrives a bit scrambled. I don’t know why. I don’t walk the way other cats do. I take exaggerated steps.

I seem to scare some of the recruits. Some taunt me. Agent Probie pounces on those recruits. He is a good leader and does his best to help me feel comfortable. Agent Winnie is good with me as well. Agent Cuddles and I don’t interact that much. I suspect that is because he doesn’t like writing reports so he is careful with his supplies. Agent Zoe goes through supplies as she writes long winded reports that she has to rewrite.

To that end, I’ve attached a requisition form for the supplies we will soon need. Some of the required supplies is another pack of requisition forms. I have tried to suggest to the agents that they sit and think about what they want to say in their reports. It does no good, they still end up rewriting them. Well, except for Agent Winnie. He writes the report, reads it over and then passes it to me to send. He must composes them in his head before writing them down.

As for the recruits, you’d think writing materials grew on trees. They take more than they need and leave them everywhere. Sometimes they crumple the pages and play “Bat The Ball”. I’ve tried to explain that the materials are for official communications, but they still do it. I suppose I need to bring this to Agent Probie’s attention.

My hesitation on that is because he has so much on his mind. He is the clowder leader as well as the Senior Agent. His responsibilities include every one of us. I’m not sure what to do in that regard. I hesitate to bother him with such a trivial thing as the misuse of office supplies, but this can’t go on.

Another reason I hesitate is that I can’t help feeling that this is something I should be able to deal with on my own. So I do my best to deal with this issue on my own. This is something I need to learn how to do. This is a life test for me.

I know I have help at hand, but I need to do this for myself. If I can’t, and I determine that, I will go to Agent Probie. It’s a point of honor. Rest assured, I’ll go to Probie if I need to. I would rather do it on my own, if I can. These kittens are not evil. i am well aware they lack discipline and are exuberant. I’m well aware of that.
