We pussycats are fairly placid feline creatures

For example we would not comment negatively on another’s features

Yes, now, and then we might scream a long MeoooooooooooooooooooooW!

But that is usually when our human wants to vax us and we don’t allow

But we would never meow something untrue in our frustration

Or demean them on social media or elsewhere as in defamation

As we would never want others to think bad of that cat or human

And influence others that read or listen to think they are just spew man

Yes material is defamatory if it causes an average person to think less of others

The kind of chit chat and negative gossip about your sisters and brothers

If you think you have been defamed there are a number of things you can do

Ask them to take down the material — that’s if you know who

You can report the said material to your online platform

And tell them that what was written or suggested is just a shite storm

If you have long pockets full of money you could take them to the cleaners

And pay your lawyer to sue their butt for their misdemeanors

But for many this might add more stress to your life and way more tension

And for others cause lots of anxiety and indigestion

Better to call a sharp clawed pussycat that looks just like me

And I will scratch them up and bring them back to reality

But seriously violence only breeds more violence — so best to be calmer

And leave revenge up to the heavens — and the wicked ones karma

The moral of this story is to watch what leaves your lips

And while loose lips are nice to kiss — they do sink ships

Better to shake your head from side to side — forgive the perpetrator

And then if they don’t change their wicked ways just say — see ya later!

MeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW for now dear readers

Until next time
