“Err Tabby, what is that slogan?”
“Mrs. Human it is Blog Action Day and the theme is inequality. Have you ever thought how unequal we felines are in this human world.”
“It seems to me you do not do so badly at the villa human. Every day your plate is full and there is fresh water. Your litter tray is cleaned and you can even take a walk on the wild side now and again. If it rains you have shelter. What more do you need?”
“A paw friendly tin opener.”
“A what?”
“You heard. We felines are at the mercy of the humans. Now and again, most of the time actually, we would like a morsel of fish, but no we have to wait for the tin to be opened. Of course fresh tuna swimming in the river would be better, but tuna does not swim in Swiss rivers. We can make do with a tin of tuna fish, complete with the juice. We have to wait until a human decides to fulfil our wish and open the tin.”
“Tabby too much tuna would not be healthy for a feline. The vitamin concentrated dry food pellets are much better for you. They give you a shiny healthy coat and bright eyes.”
“And? Who needs a shiny coat and my female days are long gone. No respecting tom cat spares a glance at me. He wants action, not bright eyes. On the other paw, who wants screaming kittens yelling for milk. I suppose you cannot have everything.”
“No you cannot Tabby.”
“So what about the paw friendly tin opener? I can manage to climb into the cupboard and take the tin out myself.”
“I am sure you can, but Tabby today is Blog Action Day, where all over the world we are writing about inequality and not about tuna fish for felines.”
“So write about inequality Mrs. Human. I am sure there is plenty to say about that. I can tell you being a normal Tabby feline makes me unequal to a Persian or Main Coon feline. They think they are something better, but have never caught a mouse in their pampered lives.”
“That is definitely from a feline perspective. From a human view, the world is one big unequal creation, but neither you nor I will be able to change it.”
“Are you going to submit this blog to the Blog Action Day group.”
“No Tabby, it is just another day like most days for me. What I write on my blog is not going to change anything because only a small group of people will read it. Stop waving your paw Tabby, no, there is not going to be a paw friendly tin opener for felines. That is not a sign of equality, that is a sign of being spoilt. Think of the felines that are not so lucky as you.”
“Felines do not think about the others, it is not in our programme. We only think about ourselves.”
“Yes Tabby, and unfortunately a lot of humans also seem to have a streak of feline in their brain.

Perhaps Tabby should start her own "Tuna Action Day"!!
