Feline laws- or wisdom passed from cat to cat

[dandysmom]

Always offer to help your humans wrap presents even though they assure you they don't need assistance ........

If you live with two opposite sex humans, always use the "poor starving cat" face on the male, it works better on him .......

[angieh]

It causes more hilarity if you feel like playing major games with anything just when your humans feel exhausted and want to go to bed!

(Me a few minutes ago - yes Kizzy is PLAYING!)

You can tell whether your human really loves you if you fall asleep on them in such a way as to numb a part of their own body by keeping still so as not to disturb you!!!

(LOVE this thread!)

its great fun to play "thundering herds of wilderbeast across the Serengetti" on the wooden floors at 3 am...(note.. this game can be played solo.. but is much more fun when played with a friend plus its noiser too which your humans will just LOVE!
it's also great fun to play "dead cat on the stairs" when your humans are trying to negotiate the stairs with the washing basket...

If your female human puts black clothes on send Tolly to rub his white bits against her legs, for light clothes either Smudge or Cleo will do. You must ALWAYS ensure that she leaves properly dressed which means that there must be cat hair visible.

Freshly raked soil is for rolling in- the little seed thingies are annoying though.

Sleep enough during the day so you will have enough energy to amuse your humans by jumping up and down on their heads at 3AM

(I'm glad it's not just mine.....)

A corollary to this is:

In cold weather, hesitate a long time deciding if you do or don't want to go out....that lets the cold air inside....

One that Darcy was very good at:

- when grooming yourself, make sure and do it right in front of your humans, preferably when they're watching tv sit right in front of it. Make sure you always finish off with cleaning between the hind legs and take as long as possible over this area.

I know it's not very nice but it was a habit of his!

Oh and one more:

- when your human is carring a very large object, such as a pile of clothes for the washing machine, and they are unable to see the floor directly in front of them, try and offer your assistance by running immediately in front of their feet, occasionally coming to a complete standstill.

and if you can make a nice, loud slurping noise that is even better

When you are out hunting, if the prey moves kill it.
If it doesn't move, eat it.
Make sure you bring back part of the prey for you humans though.

........ unless it's a shrew in which case you can let it run about in your human's house. This causes maximum amusement for humans who run about shrieking and waving their arms in the air. Strange because those shrews don't even taste good!

Water from a rainwater puddle tastes much nicer than the boring old stuff in your water bowl ......
