   My name is Bingo, and in case you're in any doubt, I'm the coolest cat in the 'hood. I'm not just the prettiest, but the smartest too. It's taken me a bit of time, but I've now got all the other cats under my paw. It's all about confidence, see. Most cats are such scaredy-cats. Me, I know no fear.

    My feeders had a party with a hundred of those tall goofy human things all standing around and lurching about and making such a racket. Now most cats would have been frightened about all that noise, that some oaf might tread on theme, and hide under the sofa for a week. But I realized right off - see, I'm smart - that I could turn it into one big cuddle-fest. I just went from human thing to human thing getting stroked and cuddled all evening. What fun!

    I chose my feeders when they came to the cat home. There had been others in and out, but I didn't like the look of them. But these two came along and looked like an easy push-over. I mean, you want them to a soft touch, don't you? Mind you, they seemed fixed on having some frightened dumb black cat, and I was stuck in a cage. The only thing to do was paw the bigger clumsier one as he walked past to get his attention, and then just be so friendly and cuddly they couldn't resist me. Ha, and it worked! And you know, they are a soft touch. I have them wrapped around my little claw. Food whenever I want it. Cuddles all the time. Lots of playing. Mind you, I have to keep them sweet. I chase this cloth mouse on the end of the stick to make them laugh, and I also let them sleep in my nice big double bed.
