    Things a cat should remember

    (If this has been posted before, forgive me!)

    Things a cat should remember

    Screaming at the can of food will not make it open by itself.

    Leaping from the very top of the condo onto the curtain rod makes my human very annoyed with me. If I do it, I will get a time out, squirted with The Water Bottle Of Death and yelled at.

    If I'm trying to hide behind the window shade so no one will see me (and I'm all clever for hiding behind the window shade, ya know) I shouldn't let my tail hang down.

    I must perfect a death stare to give my human every time I am disturbed.

    If I vomit on the carpet after overeating yet again I must stand up and walk away without the slightest hint of a care.

    I should not assume the patio door is open when I race outside to chase leaves.

    If I put a live mouse in my food bowl, I should not expect it to stay there until I get hungry.

    The guinea pig likes to sleep once in a while. I will not watch him constantly.

    If I bite the cactus, it will bite back.

    I will not stand on the bathroom counter, stare down the hall, and growl at nothing (especially right after my human has finished watching "The X-Files").

    Television and computer screens do not exist to backlight my lovely tail.

    No matter how dangly and attractive they are, my human's earrings are not cat toys.

    If I play 'dead cat on the stairs' while people are trying to bring in groceries or laundry, one of these days it will really come true.

    My human is capable of cooking bacon and eggs without my help.

    The cat food is already dead. I do not need to kill it by swatting bits of it all over the floor.

    I am a carnivore. Potted plants are not meat.

    I will never be able to walk on the ceiling, and staring up the wall and screaming at it will not bring it any closer.

    It is not a good idea to try to lap up the powdered creamer before it all dissolves in the boiling coffee.

    The goldfish likes living in water and should be allowed to remain in its bowl.

    If my human wants to share her sandwich with me, she will give me a piece. She will notice if I start eating it from the other end.

    I cannot leap through closed windows to catch birds outside.

    The large dog in the back yard has lived there for six years. I will not freak out every time I see it.

    If I must give a present to my human's overnight guests, my toy mouse is much more socially acceptable than a live cockroach, even if it isn't as tasty.

    Even though I hear voices in my head, I do not have to answer them.

    Cassie has no trouble remembering this one. She is also good at vomiting on the carpet when meowmom is at work, for meowmom to find later.

    LOL! Playing dead cat anywhere around here is dangerous. Thankfully in the middle of the night when I am sometimes stumbling to the bathroom I can avoid Andy as he is white! He should thank God for his white fur. LOL! Good ones Laura!

    Pushing a half filled water bowl towards the middle of the room during the night is not as entertaining to humans as it is to me.

    Stepping on my owner's breast or groin will wake them up post haste.

    I can delay any TV activity by a human just by sleeping on the remote.

    I can delay any brain activity by sleeping on the Sunday Crossword.

    I can keep you at home by batting the car keys off and under the table.

    I will get revenge on you for tricking me with that laser pen.

    I love it and it's so true. Picture times 12.

    FOR HUMANS:
    Keys must always be on hooks.
    Water bottles must be stationed no more then a 1/2 sec reach
    Food must be covered / hidden at all times
    If you want too sleep late lock the door and use earplugs
    If you have kittens under 1-year wear shin guards
    Use a holder for the TV remote, unless you like channel surfing
    Keep the Laser where it can't be seen, unless you are ready to play
    Keep rubber bands and paper clips must be hidden
    Do not throw out the twist ties or toilet paper tubes before inspection
    And last but the most important
    THE CAT RULES

    Things a cat should remember ... by Cassie

    My human does not like it when...
    I lie on the newspaper while she's trying to work the crossword puzzle.
    I barf on the carpet instead of on the tile.
    I treat my human's favorite pencil like a a cat toy.
    I supervise her while she is using the bathroom.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    That is so true of them, isn't it?! They love love love a certain kind of wet food, and then when you stock up on it, they decide that it is no longer to their liking. Darn animals!!!
