More hints from Murf and Winston:

1> Make sure your human chooses to live in a house that has carpet which matches your fur colors. In the middle of the night position yourself between your human and the bathroom. If you leave your tail sticking out, they might step on you AND thump into you. This will bring extra treats and pets for the next 24 hours.

2> If you can't match the carpet, try to match the computer chair. Sit in the chair and don't move. Meow loudly when they sit on you.

3> If your human wiggles their fingers at you to indicate they want to pet you, stay at least 1 inch away from their longest reach. They will become contortionists just to stroke your warm fur.

and most important -

4> Randomly stop eating treats from your human. Be sure to stop the day they bring home many packages of the treats.
