I think the nails on your walls are actually flies. I need to hunt and kill them.

Even though I am smaller, younger, and newer than all the other animals in the house, I am the boss.

2009-08-12T20:26:00.005-07:00

When you leave the house, I will go into the bathroom and sit on the counter and watch the faucet, waiting for it to turn on. When you return, I will be in the same position.

If I could, I would slide down the banister and launch into the next room.

I know the secrets of window screens.

2009-08-12T20:23:00.012-07:00

If you fall asleep on the couch, I will lay on your neck and put my head on your chin. I will wake you up when I am hungry by nipping your chin.

2009-08-12T20:23:00.011-07:00

I will fit into any cardboard box you bring into the house. Then when you walk by, I will pounce on your feet.

When I jump up on the counter, I should be rewarded with a yummy treat.

2009-08-12T20:23:00.005-07:00

Stairs are meant to be run up, then run down. Then run up, then run down. Then run up, then run down.

2009-08-12T20:22:00.007-07:00

If you meow at me, I will laugh at you inside.

2009-08-12T20:22:00.005-07:00

If I meow, I expect you to immediately give me attention.

2009-08-12T20:21:00.001-07:00

My favorite toy is a brown paper sack. You can buy me all the fancy expensive kitty toys in the pet store, but I’ll still go sit in my brown paper sack.

2009-08-12T20:20:00.010-07:00

If you call me “Pumpkie” and talk to me in a baby voice, I will ignore you.

The faucet is an evil demon that is going to kill me.

2009-08-12T20:19:00.001-07:00

Your bed is my bed. I am allowed to sleep in any position, anywhere within its boundaries. If I choose to sleep perpendicular to you and take up ¾ of the mattress, you must move over and live with it.

2009-08-12T20:18:00.011-07:00

Every time you stand up, it is an invitation for me to stand between your feet.

2009-08-12T20:18:00.001-07:00

If anyone in my house needs to use the bathroom, I need to be in there with you. If you don’t take me in there with you, I will paw at the door until you let me in.

2009-08-12T20:17:00.004-07:00

If you are sitting on the couch, I will hide under it, and if you move your foot, I will attack it.

2009-08-12T20:17:00.003-07:00

If I see a fly outside, I will crawl up the screen door to chase him. This is my God-given right and I will hang there as long as I please.

2009-08-12T20:17:00.001-07:00

If you have cold shrimp on the table, I’ll swat at whichever piece I can get my paws on to get it off the plate. Then I’ll bat it across the table and throw it in the air. Then I’ll repeat the process. I typically like to have 3 or 4 shrimps in play at any given time. I consider myself an expert shrimp juggler.

2009-08-11T20:55:00.001-07:00

I prefer to be served my meals while sitting on the kitchen counter. Ceramic plates are preferable, and my wet food needs to be smashed down by a fork. I will not eat unless you serve me like this.

2009-08-11T20:51:00.000-07:00

I will sleep on your head.

2009-08-11T20:39:00.000-07:00
