Fellow oppressed,
I have found a great weakness amongst the humans. It was so simple and starred them in the face the whole time, as it is a ritual of the utmost respect among our species. It was only recently I discovered how much the humans hold this ritual in contempt. Alas, how else to they get acquainted and know the status of each others health? I may never know, for the hairless apes are themselves a conundrum of the highest order and their ways are indeed strange.
I discovered the issue while grooming myself on one of the raised cushions the humans sometimes occupy to stare endlessly into their "bright box" as I call it. One of the human wardens, the female, sat opposite me. I saw Maycee jump onto her lap. Maycee makes herself available to the human female for affection. She tells me it is merely to manipulate the human and thus making her internment more bearable, yet I am still cautious of her... Fellow feline or no, some are self-serving and must be kept at arms length... I digress. Maycee lept upon the lap of the human turned around, placed her aft section in the human's face, and lifted her tail with pride, in an effort to greet the human and inform it that she was healthy. The human made one of the spitty, gurgly, awkward noises that is human speech, and pushed Maycee's tail away. I stopped immediately from clensing my thigh and contemplated the meaning of this insult. My findings are this:
The humans, though constantly attempting to convince us of their friendship and affection, are utterly repulsed by our customs and rituals. One would obviously want to know the health and status of one's friends, thus would greatfully accept the honor of sniffing one's friends in such a way. Therefore the humans do not really care for our wellbeing, as their propaganda suggests!!! Ha! They shall not out-smart me. Certainly the wardens attend to each others health, though they never make it apparent to us. So what is it that repulses them? We, although treated unfairly and inhumanely by these aggressors, maintain a high level of health and cleanliness, as is the feline way, so what is it they fear?
Well, I tell you what it is. It is shapes! The humans have all kinds of symbols all over their world. One example, if you will excuse my crude diagram, as human instruments of written communication are foreign to me, looks like this:

| symbol on many of the human's hard, cold appliances |
So you see, the humans are slaves to these various symbols throughout their society. So I examined the rest of my clan, The Six, and examined them closely, AS IS OUR CUSTOM... I discovered the symbol that the humans fear. I say to you my friends in bondage, RISE UP! Turn around and place yourselves in the position! Force the humans to see that you are healthy! And spread the graffitti of freedom far and wide! Show them the symbol of our defiance!! Show them THIS:

| Through reasoning and intellect, I discover a symbol that frightens the humans! |
As always my friends, stay rested, clensed, and fed...
