Roses Bite

Very soon there is a special day in the year when male humans give roses to their females. I can only assume that this is similar to when cats bring mice to humans they respect. I think humans don’t like mice but they make a very good show of looking grateful. Similarly, I can’t believe female humans really like roses but always look surprisingly excited about getting them.

Mummy has a healthy respect for these plants. We know this because she’s very strict with them. Every year she puts big covers made of cow skin on her paws so they can’t bite her and then makes them small. We understand this to be an indication of how dangerous they can be because when we’re bad, Mummy just growls at us to make us feel small without covering her paws with cow skin.

Unfortunately, our friend Bailey only recently learnt this when a rose viciously bit him on the ear. He leaked a lot and our doctor had to repair him and put an ugly white hat on his head to stop him leaking which he had to wear for a long time.

To all our male human friends, if you must give roses to your females, make sure to remove their teeth so your female doesn’t have to wear an ugly white hat.
