My 2 Friends and Me

By Luckie

I have these two friends Bingo and Cleo who just don't get along at all. It really puts me in the middle since I, Coco, am very good friends with both of them. It can make things very uncomfortable for me at times. I try not to pick sides but it is hard because they both can be really mean to each other at times.

Bingo and Cleo fight like crazy especially when it comes to food. Cleo will start to growl and hiss at Bingo for really no apparent reason just when Bingo goes anywhere near the food dishes. I try to get between them and reason with Cleo and explain there is enough food for everyone so take it easy. Sometimes Cleo will listen and other times she has a mind of her own!

Let me not forget to mention the toy problem! Even though I am a friend of these two cats I find it necessary as there friend to hide the toys at times. They fight over who can play with what toy all the time. If Bingo takes a catnip toy she likes automatically Cleo has to try and take it away and of course as you can imagine an all out hissing fight occurs. The fur starts to fly and the paws are going everywhere and even the teeth come out. YUCK! Things get pretty nasty.

It seems I always wind up in the middle as the go between since I care about them both very much. I sometimes manage to get a few bumps and bruises myself sometimes but it is all worth it in the end as Bingo and Cleo and myself always manage to find ourselves together and getting into some kind of problem!
