THINGS YOU CAN LEARN FROM YOUR CAT
Make the world your playground.
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.
Nap often.
When in trouble, just purr and look cute.
Life is hard, and then you nap.
Curiosity never killed anything except maybe a few hours.
When in doubt, cop an attitude.
Variety is the spice of life. One day, ignore people; the next day, annoy them.
Climb your way to the top, that’s why the curtains are there.
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”.
以貓為鑒
將世界變成你的游樂場。
如果你不能隨心所欲想干什么就干什么,那就趴在鍵盤上直到能做為止。
當你餓了的時候,大聲喵喵叫,這樣他們就會給你食物讓你閉嘴。
永遠都能找到一處明媚的陽光打個小盹。
經常打盹。
遇到麻煩的時候,只用發出咕嚕咕嚕聲,并做可愛狀。
生活很艱難,所以你要打盹。
好奇心從來就殺不死什么東西,只可能消耗一點時間。
有疑問的時候,不要表態。
變化是一種生活情趣。有時候無視人類,有時候騷擾他們。
順著你的路一直爬到頂端,這就是窗簾的作用。
在世界上留下你的標記,或至少在每個角落留點氣味。
永遠慷慨地付出:將一只小鳥或老鼠留在床上以告訴人類“我在乎”。
Rules for Cats to Live by
BATHROOMS:
Always accompany 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 the door is opened, it is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered an “outside” door opened, 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 or bed quickly. If you cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, any quality carpeting is good. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so it is as long as a human’s bare foot.
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 their coordination skills.
BEDTIME:
Always sleep on the human at night so he/she doesn’t move around too much.
LITTER BOX:
When using the litter box, be sure to kick as much litter out of the box as possible. Humans love the feel of kitty litter between their toes.
HIDING:
Every now and then, hide in a place where the humans cannot find you. Do not come out for three to four hours under any circumstances. This will cause the humans to panic (which they love) 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, especially their face, then turn around, and present your butt to them. Humans love this, so do it often. And don’t forget guests.
搗蛋貓的生存之道
浴室
永遠陪著客人去浴室。沒必要做什么事情,只用坐在旁邊盯著他就行。
門
不允許房間里有任何一扇門是關著的。想要門打開,用后腿站起來,用前爪拍打。一旦門開了,沒必要用這招了。一旦在你的命令下“外出”的門被打開了,就半進半出狀待在那里想事情。……
