All I Need to Know About Life I Learned from My Cat
When in doubt, cop an attitude.
Life is hard, then you nap.
Nap often.
Climb your way to the top ... that's why the drapes are there.
When you go out into the world, remember: being placed on a pedestal is a right, not a privilege.
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.
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.
Make your mark in the world, or at least spray in each corner.
Always give generously; a bird or rodent left on the bed tells them, "I care".
