Rules for cats

,

Here's a set of rules for cats.

All Rules can be broken when you feel like it.

Don't worry about vet bills, someone else will pay.

Know where the sock drawer is for those catnaps.

Help with jigsaw puzzles.

Sniff every stranger.

Be astonishingly mysterious.

When in doubt, chase something.

Don't play in plastic bags.

Ignore your mistakes.

When in doubt, let your tail do the talking.

Never sleep alone.

Curtains are for climbing only.

All chairs belong to the cat of the house.

Baths are for Dogs!

Feeding time is when YOU want to be fed.

Go absolutely berserk for no apparent reason.

Try to keep that mouse alive for your human.

Make the world your playground.

Whenever you miss the sandbox, cover it up. Dragging a sock over it helps.

If you can't get your way, lay across the keyboard till you do.

When you are hungry, meow loudly so they feed you just to shut you up.

Always find a good patch of sun to nap in and nap often.

When in trouble, just purr and look cute.

Curiosity never killed anything except maybe a few hours.

Variety is the spice of life. One day, ignore people; the next day, annoy them.

Always give generously; a bird or rodent left on the bed tells them, "I care".

"When in trouble, just purr and look cute."
Cats are born with a gene for that one! And I don't get the whole mouse, just the head. :frown:

He/she doesn't like the crunchy bits.

The trick is to leave the ears, feet and tail on the carpet, still in perfect formation :smile:

Zaphira 13. September 2009, 07:08

@ Carol ~ :D

@ Phantom ~ I'm sure you'll get more of the mouse if you were nicer to your cats. P:

@ dW ~ I think you're right about that. :lol:

@ Mr Rinse ~ That's quite a gift! :yes: I like that! :up:

They've cut back weekly allowance. :mad:

*giggles*

Zaphira :happy:

I am having a good time watching the baby polar bear right now playing. Sooooooooo cute. :D

Zaphira 13. September 2009, 08:45

Yeah, they are so cute when they are small. It's hard to imagine that it'll grow into a dangerous predator. :smile:

Dacotah 13. September 2009, 08:53

Poor mama bear looks stressed, she wants to go to whatever is on the other side of the water.
The baby bear is playing with something plastic and throwing it into the water and jumping in after it and carrying it around. So cute.
:smile:

Spaggyj 13. September 2009, 09:23

:lol: dead-on set of rules :up: let's be clear though - I never want a mouse of any state from you :insane:

Zaphira 13. September 2009, 09:44

@ Carol ~ That baby bear may look cute, but the mum surely gets tired of it from time to time. :D

@ Kimmie ~ Awwww.... what if I cook it first?? awww

wickedlizard 13. September 2009, 10:06

:lol:

Furie 13. September 2009, 10:59

That bird in the bed was the start of our war.

rose-marie 13. September 2009, 11:48

:lol: Good ones! I think many of these apply to certain humans too... p:

Hermitess 13. September 2009, 14:36

Funny!

Dacotah 13. September 2009, 14:48

At least mama bear looks more relaxed now, still sniffing the air over the water looking like she wants to go over there, that must be where their "cave" is. At least she not pacing franticly like she was. :smile:

Two rules that women should also perhaps strive to remember....? P:

Furie 13. September 2009, 18:12

Does Clint know you have a tail? :left: Does he like it? :devil:

Marike79 13. September 2009, 18:26

Nice :D

My cats do that all the time.

We do not really want to hear the answer to neither of those two questions! :D

Yep. Make the world your playground and ignore your mistakes! :happy:

@ Marike ~ Your cats love you!! :love:


Furie 13. September 2009, 19:46

*craps in the corner of Til's flat, pretends to cover it over with soil, looks smug and heads out for a snack*

Marike79 13. September 2009, 20:03

they do :love: and so do I

Zaphira 13. September 2009, 20:22

*smacks Mik with the newspaper* Bad bunny, you! :mad:

Furie 13. September 2009, 20:46

I was being a kitty. :mad:

Minenow 13. September 2009, 21:44

He knows. He hasn't complained. :o:

Marike79 13. September 2009, 21:51

I heard once it helps to rub their nose in it, but that was with puppies? p:

derWandersmann 13. September 2009, 22:14

It doesn't, not even with puppies. They can't make that kind of association, so all you're doing is being cruel.

Yes, cruel. Considering the tremendous sensitivity of the canine and feline olfactory system, what you're doing is equivalent to beating the most sensitive part of the human body.

Of course, if that gets you off, go right ahead ... but if I catch you doing it, I'll shoot you.

Marike79 13. September 2009, 22:20

Sorry didn't mean to offend you. It was only a joke.

Right on...:cat: :devil: :heart:

"Go absolutely berserk for no apparent reason."

I've seen this. It happens. My mom's cat does this on a regular basis.

Freaks. Me. Out.

Oh, dear ... now I've given the wrong message. I was not offended at what you said ... I apologise for giving that impression.

And the threat was not intended as a threat, but as a strong emphasis. Sorry.

darkesthour 14. September 2009, 11:46

Another rule.. Always puke your fur balls onto the carpet, not the garden.. :smile:

H82typ 14. September 2009, 12:12

... Or on the bed. :lol:

darkesthour 14. September 2009, 12:14

Or in it then cover it over.. :lol:

H82typ 14. September 2009, 12:17

Had that happen! :lol:

darkesthour 14. September 2009, 12:18

Yuck feeling init? :yuck: And in your shoe is pretty bad too...

Minenow 14. September 2009, 12:30

I had one cat that would get skiddish when sick.... And run thru the house leaving a trail! :yikes:

Zaphira 14. September 2009, 13:44

I've tried to get out of bed and stepping right into a fur ball. :yikes: :lol:

H82typ 14. September 2009, 13:58

:lol: I've done that,too! :lol:

derWandersmann 14. September 2009, 14:58

I've taught two cats to make a break for the linoleum floor when they start coming all over queer-like. They got the idea pretty quickly.

darkesthour 14. September 2009, 20:24

I knew a cat that had a peculiar yowl when he wanted to hurl.. ran to the door and howled to be let out. Amazing cat :yes:

dbshadow 14. September 2009, 20:54

I have a cat that will not go potty outside, he holds it till he can get in to use the litter box, he was never trained, I picked him up off the street at 6 weeks old, probably would have exploded had he not found a home...

Minenow 14. September 2009, 22:24

:lol: That's funny.

qlue 14. September 2009, 23:24

I guess that was an Aristocat then! :lol:

derWandersmann 15. September 2009, 03:15

I had a kitten like that when I was a kid in Los Angeles.

Zaphira 15. September 2009, 03:46

:lol: I like Aristocats! :heart:

Zaphira 15. September 2009, 04:07

Exactly, dW, that's what I'm talking about! :yes:
