Behold! I am Raggedy,
and I am an extremely wild kitty,
“You think you’re gonna like it here?”
“Let me pet you?”
“OK, OK.”
and I intend to stay this way — forever.
I’ve spent my whole life outside,
but a certain someone thinks she rescued me.
“Ooh, look at that face.”
“This girl’s about as grumpy as they come.”
That’s right.
Grumpy and wild — for life.
“You’re so cute.”
“She lets me touch her head.”
What are you doing?
Get that finger away from me.
Fine,
but you’re lucky I’m in this blanket.
(purring)
Does anyone else hear that noise?
Anyway, don’t get too excited.
I’m still as wild as they come.
“Ooh, she looks messy.”
OK, petting is one thing,
but I don’t do baths.
Are you saying I’m dirty?
How dare you!
You know cats can bathe themselves, right?
Right?!
You don’t have to do this.
(gurgling sounds)
What’s happening to me?
And why is this water turning brown?
Am I — melting?!
“You did so good, Raggedy Ann.”
It’s OK. You’re OK.
Everything’s gonna be fine.
That was the worst,
but I do smell pretty good,
and I’m still wild!
In fact, I’m outta here.
“Wait. Don’t go anywhere.”
Now what?
A brush!?
Just — just stop.
OK, enough.
(purring)
(sigh)
(purring)
Do you hear somethin’?
It’s that noise again.
Is — is that noise coming from...
inside me?!
Is this what happiness sounds like?
Impossible!
“Look at this.”
(meowing)
“Yeah.”
OK, this was all very nice,
but I’m still wild.
I’m going back outside,
right after two more minutes.
“Eat your food, girlfriend. Here.”
You? Wanna feed me?
Uh-uh. No way.
I catch my own food.
“Uh-uh. I’m not gonna go away.”
Fine.
It does smell pretty good.
“You let me pet you?"
I’ll allow it.
“Good girl.”
But know this, I will never play with your ridiculous toys.
That’s where I draw the line!
Wooo! Yippee! Woo-hoo!
Do it again! Again! Over here!
You saw nothing.
Don’t judge me.
I hope you’re satisfied.
You’ve tried to convince me to live indoors for weeks,
but I remain the most wild of cats.
Observe as I climb into your warm bed,
snuggle and demand more petting.
“Look at that.”
“Oh my goodness.”
“This is a big deal.”
Wait a second.
Am I...
a cute, little sweetie?
OK. OK.
I am Raggedy,
and I’m still pretty wild,
but I also like people.
I actually kinda love ’em.
In fact, I like people so much,
I’m gonna let this special person adopt me.
What are you looking at?
Don’t make me purr at you.
