They was cunnin' and cute and all that, but they was so everlastin' lively and hungry that they didn't give me much of a chance.

I was only one, you see, and they had a majority vote every time on who should have the bed and the chairs and the table and one thing or 'nother.

If I sat down I sat on a cat.

If I went to bed I laid down on cats, and when I turned them out and turned in myself they came and laid down on ME.

I slept under fur blankets most of June.
