| Tips for Cats BATHROOMS Always accompany your humans and guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare. DOORS Do not allow any closed doors in any room. To get door open, stand on hind legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered your human to open an outside door, stand halfway in and out and think about several things. This is particularly important during very cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito season. CHAIRS AND RUGS If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, shag is good. When throwing up, make sure you backup so your creation is as long as human's bare foot. HAMPERING If one of your humans is engaged in an activity and the other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called "helping", otherwise known as "hampering". Following are the rules for hampering: 1.When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on and then comforted. 2.For book readers, get in close under the chin, between the eyes and book, unless it's possible that you can lie across the book itself. 3.For paperwork, lie on the work in the most appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work as possible. Pretend to doze, but every so often reach out and slap the pen or pencil. 4.For people paying bills or working on income taxes, keep in mind the primary goal: to hamper! First, sit on the paper being worked on. When you are dislodged, watch sadly from the side of the table. When activity proceeds nicely, roll around on the papers, scattering them to the best of your ability. After being removed for the second time, push pens, pencils and erasers off the table, one at a time. 5.When a human is holding a newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to jump at or swat the back of the paper. Humans love to be startled. 6.When a human is working at a computer, jump up on desk, walk across keyboard, bat at mouse pointer on screen and then lie in human's lap across arms, hampering typing in progress. WALKING As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in front of the human, especially on stairs, when they have something in their arms, in the dark, and when they first get up in the morning. this will help them develop their coordination. BEDTIME Always sleep on the human at night so he/she cannot move around. In the mornings, help your human wake up by jumping on them or walking on them and meowing in their ear. Start early. Humans never want to get up the first time. LITTERBOX When using the litter box, be sure to kick out as much litter as possible. Humans love the feel of litter between their toes HIDING Every now and then, hide in a place where the humans cannot find you. Do not come out for 3 to 4 hours under any circumstances. This will cause the humans to panic, thinking that you have run away or are lost. Once you do come out, the humans will cover you with love and kisses and you will probably get a treat. ONE LAST THOUGHT: Whenever possible, get close to a human -as near the face as possible- turn around, and present your butt to them. Humans love this, so do it often. |
