Rikki and Kiki
@leetrikki90.bsky.social
Human (Rikki) & her telepathic tuxedo cat (Kiki). Human’s a retired writer/editor/instructional designer. Kiki’s the boss! Read our stories aloud (CAPS = emphasis). Kiki’s Cat Treats of Wisdom & Kiki’s Journal are researched. We love cats, pix & art! 🚫DMs!
(interviewer) “We’re back with Kiki…SUPERSTAR! What’s your SECRET to living with your human?”

“Making her THINK she’ll get what she wants—like petting you—but giving her a SENSIBLE reason why she won’t get it!”

“Kiki, time to get up!…Lemme PET you!”

“No, human! Make an appointment with my AGENT!”

“Ow, Kiki! You trying to be FUNNY, scratching me out of nowhere? I didn’t TOUCH you!”

“You’re within SCRATCHING range, human! Anywhere my paw reaches is FAIR GAME to be scratched!”

“You’ve OBVIOUSLY given your vicious attacks on me a lot of thought, Kiki!”

“Yeah, human. I’m just FUNNY that way!“

“TREATS, Kiki!”

“Giving ’em UP, human. A treat-free DIET!”

“Why?”

“You gimme treats so I’ll be a GOOD kitty! Well, I AIN’T good!”

“You love the TASTE!”

“In a few days, I won’t REMEMBER!”

“In the TRASH, Kiki! Tuna, turkey, salmon, catnip—“

“REVISION, human…A treat-free diet EXCEPT for catnip!”

“Kiki’s napping! ONE belly rub…NO consequences!”

“‘This nap sponsored by Nibble Kibble…🎵Nibble, nibble, kibble, kibble…🎶’”

“Ugh! NO!”

(later) “Human, you found my new telepathic power: ADVERTISING!“

“Kiki, I HATE ads!”

“I KNOW! You pet me when I NAP, you pay the CONSEQUENCES! 🎵Nibble, nibble…🎶”

“I can SEE it in your eyes, Kiki…You wanna SIT here!”

“You’re an EYE reader, human?”

“Am I RIGHT?”

“Yep! I want it NOW!”

“Why should I, Kiki?”

”I got my REASONS, human: It’s really warm because YOU sat there…And I WANNA sit there!”

“If it‘ll help make your eyes SMILE at me, come and sit here.”

“Human, could you do WITHOUT me for a day?”

“Kiki, I’ve done it SO MANY times!…What about YOU?”

“You bet!…What about for a WEEK?”

“That‘d be hard. I’d MISS you!…And you?”

“If I had a SITTER to help, I could do without you INDEFINITELY! But could YOU, human?”

“No, Kiki. ’Cause you’re MY sitter!”
November 28, 2025 at 7:07 PM
“The ALARM, human! Wake up!”

“HEARD it, Kiki!”

“Time for my BREAKFAST…No, don’t turn on the lights…or the TV…or the coffeemaker…or go to the bathroom—FEED ME!”

“I‘ve got lots of STUFF to do before I’m awake enough to feed you, Kiki!”

“I’m going back to SLEEP, human. Wake ME up when YOU wake up!”
November 28, 2025 at 3:58 PM
“FUNNY, McFly! Tell me ANOTHER!”

“Kiki, who you TALKING to?”

“A FLY friend, human. He’s a COMIC, just flew in for a GIG.”

“Where’s my SWATTER?…Flies are so DIRTY!“

“But he CLEANED UP his act!”

(swats) “GOT ‘im!…SORRY about your friend, Kiki!”

(eats fly) “He’ll gimme a BELLY laugh now, human!”

“Kiki, you’re in the DANGER ZONE on our bed!”

“What, human?”

“Where my FEET land as I get in. I accidentally KICKED you last week!”

“And I got APOLOGY treats!”

“I’ll use the OTHER side.”

“I’ll go there, too—so you can kick me AGAIN!”

“Can we resolve this WITHOUT treats, Kiki?”

“Nope, human!”

“Kiki’s Journal #29: My human gives me lots of WET FOOD. I also DRINK out a stainless steel water bowl, especially after kibble. She CLEANS my bowl 3x a week and fills it with cool tap water, adding to it often. She once gave me a FOUNTAIN but I didn’t use it! (Can’t teach an old KITTY new tricks!)”
November 27, 2025 at 8:47 PM
“Kiki, you look TIRED! What did you DO while I was out?”

“I GROOMED for 1 hour, human!”

“A LONG time!”

“I NAPPED for 2 hours!”

“Really?”

“I CLIMBED atop my tree!”

“Wish I’d seen THAT!”

“I ZOOMED around the house!”

“Kiki, you never cease to AMAZE!”

“It amazes ME you’re still amazed, human!”

“Wanna play Catch the STRING, human?”

“Cleaning out your LITTER boxes, Kiki!…Done!”

“Ready to play NOW?”

“Refreshing your WATER bowl…Done!”

“NOW?”

“Getting your wet FOOD ready…Done!”

“Human, you spend so much time ON me and not much time WITH me!”

“Want to play NOW, Kiki?”

“NAP time, human!”
November 27, 2025 at 3:41 PM
“Had a bad DAY, Kiki?”

”Lousy, human! My kibble bowl was EMPTY in the center; I ate from the EDGES!”

“Ouch!”

“Saw a TREAT on the floor…but it was PAPER from a torn bag!”

“Oh, my!”

“And a corner of my box didn’t have LITTER! I had to SCRATCH to fill it!”

“Awful life, Kiki!”

“The WORST, human!”
November 27, 2025 at 12:58 PM
“Kiki, you’re TRACKING wet food all over the carpet!”

“How’d THAT happen, human?”

“I OVERTURNED a can on the kitchen floor, and you must’ve stepped in it!”

“I wasn’t SUPPOSED to?”

“Kiki, steer CLEAR of where I’m using the carpet spray.”

“Don’t worry, human! I’ll be right here…washing my SOCKS!”
November 26, 2025 at 11:05 PM
“Kiki’s Journal #28: I’m quite FLOOFY, plus I groom a lot. But I don’t often have a HAIRBALL. My human feeds me special KIBBLE to help me digest the fur. But when I DO have one, she goes to DEFCON 1…cleaning the mess and brushing my coat. So I like to HIDE it, and she can’t upset ‘til much later!”
November 26, 2025 at 8:55 PM
“Kiki, you don’t care what ANYONE thinks of you…including ME!”

“Right, human.”

“But your aloofness makes me think of you MORE!”

“And you’re thinking of me NOW?”

“Yes, Kiki…I’m thinking of ways I can be more peaceful like YOU!”

“First, human, stop CARING what anyone thinks of you…including ME!”
November 26, 2025 at 6:22 PM
“Kiki, don’t go into the CLOSET!”

“The DOOR’S open, human! It’s an engraved invitation to EXPLORE!”

“I need to ASK you to stay out of there!”

“You NEED to ask? Go on and ASK me, then!”

“I NEED you to not go in there, Kiki!”

“I need YOU not to need so much, human! Start focusing on what I need!”
November 26, 2025 at 3:35 PM
“Human, you there? I want TREATS!”

(with background music) “Human is in the…BATHROOM. Please hold…Your human LOVES you! Show you love HER! Don’t bite or scratch!…Your needs are IMPORTANT! Continue to hold…Kiki, your VET…“

“I HATE when human puts me on telepathic hold—but I LOVE The Beatles music!”
November 26, 2025 at 12:50 PM
“Human, am I the CUTEST kitty in the known universe?”

“Yes, you are, Kiki!”

“The SMARTEST?”

“Yes, you are!”

“The FLOOFIEST?”

“Yes, you are!”

“The CLEVEREST?”

“Kiki, don’t ask me any QUESTIONS if you know all the ANSWERS!”

“DOUBLE-CHECKING, human!…Now, should we ask the REST of the universe?”
November 25, 2025 at 11:45 PM
“Kiki’s Journal #27: My treats are addictive morsels that I can—no, I MUST—have! My human gives me some a few times a day so I’ll be NICE to her…which is almost NEVER! Actually, it stimulates my APPETITE when she wants me to eat. But don’t mention those gooey treats in a tube—not for ME, thank you!”
November 25, 2025 at 9:17 PM
“Human, I want a VIRTUAL assistant to give me treats if I ask for them…”

“I do that, Kiki! And I’m REAL!”

“…and a ROBOT to pet me…”

“I do that! And I’m HUMAN!”

“…and an A.I. bot to prepare wet food!”

“Kiki, you want machines—not ME?”

“Then DON’T buy me that stuff! I’ll have no choice BUT you!”
November 25, 2025 at 7:19 PM
“Human, where’s the WET FOOD I was eating?”

“Kiki, I put it in a BAG ’til you’re ready!”

“I’m ready NOW!”

”Taking it OUT.”

(sniffs it) “Changed my MIND!”

“Putting it AWAY.”

“On SECOND thought, I want a bite!”

“Taking it OUT.”

“Maybe NOT!”

“Putting it AWAY, Kiki.”

“On THIRD thought, human…”
November 25, 2025 at 3:41 PM
“Kiki, we celebrate THANKSGIVING this week! I’M thankful YOU’RE in my life, What about YOU?”

“No thanks, human!”

“You mean you’re not thankful for ME?”

“Nope! Why would I thank YOU?”

“Kiki, you’re a selfish, spoiled, BRAT CAT—but maybe I’m PARTLY responsible.”

“And I thank you for THAT, human!”
November 25, 2025 at 12:47 PM
“Kiki, tell me before you cause MISCHIEF!”

“OK, human…I‘ll swat PAPERS off your desk.”

“Lemme HIDE them!”

“Then I’ll move the STRING so you‘ll trip over it.”

“I’ll put it AWAY!”

“Then I’ll rip this CATALOG!”

“Kiki…You’ll do all THAT?”

“No, human! The best mischief is making you THINK I will!”
November 24, 2025 at 10:58 PM
“Kiki’s Journal #26: I love the PAPER BAGS my human gives me. (She switched me to a LOW-BOX diet, so now I’m mostly a bag kitty!) With a bag, I can lie on it, scratch, chew or sniff ‘nip inside it—even CRAWL in it if I fit! Bags feel WARM and comfy, and I like that CRINKLY sound as I roll on them!”
