Eggs too, not helpful in feeling in love, but I heard tonight, it's not so
bad for chorolestrol (sp) to eat all you want.

Rules for Cats Who Have A House to Run
1. DOORS:
Do not allow closed doors in any room. To get door opened, stand on hind
legs and hammer with forepaws. Once 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. Swinging Doors Are
To Be Avoided At All Costs!!
II. CHAIRS AND RUGS:
If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you cannot manage in
time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, shag is good.
When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so that it is as long
as a human's bare foot.
III. BATHROOMS:
Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do
anything......just sit and stare.
IV. HAMPERING:
If one of your humans is engaged in some close activity and the other is
idle, stay with the busy one. This is called "helping", otherwise known as
"hampering" .
Following are the rules for "hampering".
a. When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook.
You cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped
on and then picked up and comforted.
b. For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and book,
unless you can lie across the book itself.
c. For knitting projects or paperwork, lie on the work in the most
appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work or at least the
most important part. Pretend to doze, but every so often reach out and
slap the pencil or knitting needles. The worker may try to distract you;
ignore it. Remember, the aim is to hamper work. Embroidery and
needle-point projects make great hammocks in spite of what the
humans may tell you.
d. For people paying bills (monthly activity) or working on income taxes
or Christmas cards (annual activity), keep in mind the aim....to
hamper!
First, sit on the paper being worked on. When dislodged, watch sadly
from the side of the table. When activity proceeds nicely, roll
around on the papers, scattering them to the best of your
ability.
After being removed for the second time, push pens, pencils, and
erasers off the table, one at a time.
e. When a human is holding the newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to
jump on the back of the paper. They love to jump.
f. 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.
g. Bedtime: Always sleep on the human at night so she/he cannot move
around. If necessary, wait until they are asleep.
Yes, I live with cats. Petting a cat, preferably in your lap, cuts down on
stress.
