The cat instruction manual

Make one's self scarce when that cage suddenly appears and before they splash that sticky mess that to our fur adheres.. Learn how to get attention when no one seems to listen by increasing the volume and stay persistent.. When offered unsavory courses just let them sit and spoil, until they make better choices or refrigerate in foil.. Show appreciation from time to time by rubbing on their calves with your behind.. Master opening doors with out reaching the handle. It should be number two in this cat instruction manual. Always keep a neat appearance. Don't make a litter mess. Have patience with your people and your life will be blessed.

Lol...my cat must have read your cat instruction manual, Nancy :) or perhaps he's learning from his past mistakes :) Whatever it is, it was fun reading your offering! ~ Regards // paul

Perfect description of the personality of a cat, Nancy! Had a wonderful kitty as a child. She would chase a ball, sit up for bacon in the morning and figured out how to open the screen door. letting it knock, when she wanted to come in from the outside. I have wonderful memories of her. Thanks for taking me back in time to remember her. Blessings to you!

Hi Sam, Thanks for your comment on this little cat write. I have owned cats now since leaving my cat less parental home in the late 60's (my mom hated cats). My current cat seems to be far more intelligent then my previous ones were, or perhaps I'm finally paying attention to them. Blessings to you!

Hi Paula dear, I'm glad you enjoyed my cat write. I have steered away from the subject for quite awhile though. I have two grown kids, so I guess I don't qualify as a "childless cat lady". LOL have a blessed weekend..

Hi Tom, Samantha my cat thought I should write one today in case some felines might need one. LOL. I'm well, just have to wait until later to get a new rx for glasses, difficult to see white cursor for now. Have a blessed weekend and thanks for reaching out..
