Open letter

[cornerofmadness]

Dear Roy
1. You're not as cute as you think you are
2. the couch is not a scratch post. I'll forgive you this this first time since you're still learning
3. this is MY house. I pay rent. You freeload. That means I can walk anywhere I want. Do not yell at me for going past your chair and disturbing you. Be thankful we compromised on the chair and you can sleep on the dust cover I put over it for you
4. If a door is shut, that means you're not welcome. That does not mean push on it until it opens. It most assuredly doesn't mean come into the bathroom while I'm on the throne and proceed to sneeze on the fresh pair of underwear I just pulled on. KTX. At 7Am this is not appreciated. I'm not sure there is a time where it would be
5. Meowmix is in the bowl. Deal
6. Going to the refridgerator and crying will not change #5. In fact just because I'm in the fridge doesn't mean I'm procuring food for anyone. I might just be getting something to drink or my insulin
7. Begging as I eat will get you the boot, just warning you now
8. We will not play the innie-outie game. If you cry to go out, make damn sure that is what you want. Because in this game it'll be more outie than innie once you're out there. I don't care if I need to put a snorkle on you so you can breathe (which grant it, might be needed if the rain never stops)
9. thank you for using your litterbox.


From the associated press Heath Ledger was discovered by his masseuse Jan. 22 after she arrived for an appointment that afternoon. She entered his bedroom to set up for the massage and found him unresponsive, and proceeded to call Mary-Kate Olsen three times over the next 9 minutes before dialing 911. Ledger had been dead for some time, and police say no foul play occurred. Police said they found a rolled-up $20 bill near the bed.

She did WHAT? When you find an unresponsive man you call 911 FIRST. I can not believe she was calling other clients (presumably) before calling for help. I guess she's just luck he had been dead for some time or else someone would have a good case for negligence

1,3,4, & 8 apply to my puppies too! lol

And OMG not calling 911.... That's ridiculous.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep, i'm sure these numbers apply to all sorts of pets


and yeah, that's just nuts and potentially criminal

[anguisel.livejournal.com]

Roy seems to be living up to his namesake for pampering huh?

And the really odd part about all of this, the masseuse has been arrested for a felony. Yep, she's not a licensed masseuse and that is a felony in New York. The fact that she called MK three times before calling 911 and the fact that the housekeeper started CPR makes me think that there is something fishy that police are obviously missing.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Roy thinks he's already fuhrer

I didn't see the the part about the arrest...yeah I'm getting the feeling that 20 years from now the conspiracy nuts will be handling this the way they handle Marilyn Monroe

[saphira112.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, numbers 3, 5, 6, and 7 applies to my dog, Lawliet. Excep[t she's always outside... >_>

SHE WHAAATTT??? COME ON! You call 911 FIRST! FIIRRRSSSTTT! You don't call up your best friend or whatever and say, "Hey, I found him and he's, like, dead or something..." YOU. DO. NOT. DO. THAT! Grrr...

(Give Roy a pet for me( when he's good)!)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I suspect many numbers apply to many pets

I know. I find that dumbfounding. I wonder if the reporter did too. certainly she felt compelled enough to include it in her article

[jennawaterford.livejournal.com]

It is a confusing and dumb thing to have done, but the longer articles published closer to when it happened had a clearer outline of what and why. The masseuse and housekeeper didn't realize he was dead/not breathing at first. He wasn't waking up as far as they could tell (at first).

She called Mary Kate because she knew her bodyguard had EMT training and was very close by; also Mary Kate and Heath were friends.

Yes, she should have called 911 first, but this is a scenario that happens often enough in any world where drug use is a common factor; you try to sort things out without involving authorities; I expect this is even more true when celebrities are involved. The police didn't find any reason to charge or hold the masseuse. It seems to be a case of ordinary people behaving in an unwise fashion--not that it matters anyway because he'd been dead for a long time before the masseuse even got there.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

actually I read she was charged not in this but for something else (which yes gives her much more reason not to call the police) But not knowing if someone is dead or alive is more reason to call 911. not like a drug charge is going to actually hurt a hollywood star's career, not in this day and age

[hierath.livejournal.com]

I heard that when Elvis died the poicle checked the house and found no drugs. Nothing, not so much as an asprin. Which makes me think that rather than calling 911 his people were rushing round the house flushing everything they could find, just in case. Could be something similar happened here, and the woman just paniced and called the first person she could think of. I agree it's dumb, but I don't think I know what the heck I'd do in that situation either.

As for Roy *bless*, I had a cat who would push his way into the bathroom while you were on the loo, and then try and climb on your lap (he would also sit on the side of the bath and stare at you while you were in the tub). Sneezed-on knickers are quite a minor irritation in comparison!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

having been in it (granted not with anyone FAMOUS) I sadly do know


oh my previous cat would do the tub thing then reachunder the water and pull on your toes

Welcome to cat-ownership (in that a cat always owns YOU, not the other way around). No matter how much food is in the dish, opening the fridge means Cats Appear and Want Food. Gooshy Food. Reverse those and they become Roy's Rules for his Pet. *g*

And you have to add "If you spread papers out on the table, they're for me to lay on. This means anything you're reading specifically."

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yes i forgot that one.

#10 - The LONE folder of paper on the living room floor are student exams. Their grades will not improve with the prescence of cat butt on them

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

The presence of cat butt makes all reading material better. LOL

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well it couldn't make their test scores worse, that's for sure

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Heh, your cat is my cat, too. *g*

I heard about the calls she made to MK. Apparently it wasn't because MK was another client. In fact, MK was in California, I think I heard. I guess MK & Heath were friends? IDK, anyway MK told her she was sending her personal security over, but I didn't hear that MK ever told her to call 911. It's a really fucked up mess.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

all pets seem to be the same

and very much so

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Sneezing on your undies! Ha! Roy, way not to endear yourself.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah that did not make me smile

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

Welcome to being owned by a cat.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah i'm remembering now why i nearly went nuts getting my last pet. I don't do well until they're trained

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

I remember when Lupin was a kitten; he was so (http://www.uvm.edu/~fabbott/lupin/lupin8.jpg) cute (http://www.uvm.edu/~fabbott/lupin/lupin4.jpg), but he drove me nuts and I couldn't wait until he grew up and settled down a bit.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I sat in a corner and cried when Iktomi was a kitten. He said nightly prayers to Satan

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Yeah, apparently Ledger was renting/borrowing Mary Kate's place (she has several). The maid and the masseuse came in together that morning and, after they found him dead and saw all the drugs, the maid probably freaked and called the owner of the place (Mary Kate) for instructions. Definitely not the right thing to do, but maybe she was foreign and limited in our language or here illegally, who knows... She probably wanted someone else to have to call the law and deal with it all. (P.S. I read a nauseating amount of star news - it's a sickness)

And YAY for Roy! Bless your heart for putting up with and taking such good care of him. I know it isn't easy.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

strikes me as very odd


Roy is defintely not easy. He's a brat
