A Message From Catspurr

Bonjour! Namaste! Hello! It fascinates me sometimes how you, the humans have so many ways of greeting, addressing, dressing etc. You might be wondering why I am referring to the human race in second person, I’m a cat, by the way. Don’t be so surprised, I come from a place named Catspurr where we, the cats are the beings of the highest order and the humans serve us. Your world and our world are set very far apart. Normally, the humans are unable to reach this hidden world of ours and if some very adventurous person happens to arrive here by accident, he’s caught, obliviated and then is kept is a source of entertainment for our kind (like how our kind is treated in your world, right?)

Here, we are called “khoshpa”, “cat” is a name that the “klums” (the humans) have given us, though they do not call us by that name when they serve us, as their memories had been erased. Honestly, we hate it whenever you people give us all sorts of weird names, would you like being called "fat Louie" all your life? We have very dignified names here, at Catspurr. Our king being Lord Catatouille and the queen, Madame Mushper.  Ah! such beautiful names!

I'm Coushnum, the prime minister of Catspurr.

It is quite impossible to reach Catspurr, unless you forget your way in some unknown place, like a forest, desert, anything and give up all hopes of your survival. You must have noticed your pet cat or any other cat sleeping the most part of the day, well they aren’t actually sleeping, that’s just how they reach here. They’re our agents who give us some updates on the outside world and sometimes, they lure some klums into reaching Catspurr, remember that friend of yours who followed her cat (whom she used to beat for fun) into the woods and was never heard of again? She’s here now and is one of our best light chasers.

I’ve heard from my agents that you, the humans are treating the animal in the worst manner possible. You’d be surprised to know that the way you treat your fellow creatures there, is same way we treat the klums here. A long time ago when animals were treated with compassion, we used to make sure that every human who happened to reach Catspurr returned their home safely, but we don’t do that now. By seeing the way you treat your fellow beings, we think the klums are better treated here. So, care to treat an animal with compassion next time? ’Cause, who knows? Our next source of entertainment might be you.
