What lesson have you learned from your cat?

[begin_within]

I have learned two from my cats:

1. Existing can be pleasurable all by iteslf.
2. Wait and watch before taking action.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Mine...

Attitude is everything. Size is nothing.

[LeftyMom]

2. few problems can not be solved by a bath and a nap

The few that qualify can apparently be solved by licking one's own privates, but if I were that flexible why would I waste time on DU?

4. ha ha ha!

[Jamastiene]

19. If that were possible,

none of us would ever come up for air again much less leave home or pay any attention to anything else. Oh, that would be so sweet. If only...

[KyndCulture]

3. Here's mine

That maimed small creatures are a fantastic present.

That 23 hours of sleep is completely appropriate.

[KT2000]

5. If I wiggle

my back end - I can jump farther!

[begin_within]

8. That's a good one.

[riona]

6. Not knowing what's behind a closed door

is endlessly fascinating. What's really there, not so much.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. When in doubt, hide or go to sleep.

[Major Hogwash]

9. That life is precious even if you live like you've got 9 lives.

Because he has pulled some daring-do stunts lately that one day is going to cost him dearly, one of these days.

[liberalpress]

10. ...and this....

No problem is so big it can't be solved with a nap.

[Placebo]

11. Many important things.

Chief among them:

1) If you feed it, it will come

2) Everyone needs some alone time

3) Just because you feed me doesn't mean I owe you anything (also an important one for parents and children)

4) Most creatures are really only nice because they want something, in this case, food.

[wildhorses]

12. no matter how much you roam...

there is no place like home!!


dedicated to Levon:cry:

I miss him so

[Kajsa]

13. I've learned a few things.

Among them are;

Food tastes better when it's sneaked off the human's dinner plate.
( when they're not looking, of course.)

It's doesn't matter if your human buddy's hair is messy, she is sad,
or she just woke up and looks like something you dragged into the
house-

You love her to pieces, anyway.

Purrrrr-Purrrrr.:loveya:

[catzies]

14. A full food dish and an empty litterbox will soon be the other way around

And home is where your food is.

You can tell this one likes food. When's he's out, all I have to do is shake the food bag & he always comes running.

[wildhorses]

15. oh....I could just bury my face in that belly....

what a cutie:hi:

[City Lights]

16. I have nothing to lose by asking for what I want.

I should sniff around for just the right spot before sitting down.

[Jamastiene]

17. 1. When scared, look bored.

2. When there is a bad windy storm, hide under something sturdy.
3. Don't let anything get between me and my food, except them.
4. similar to 3, share and share alike. For every bite I take, give them a piece of the food.
5. When they are looking at the ceiling, remember it may be a plot to see if they could make me look. They do this to me often. I always fall for it.
6. When they blink their eyes at me very slowly, it's a kiss. They love a kiss back.
7. Get plenty of sleep and don't feel bad about who you hurt if they wake you up. They shouldn't have disturbed your sleep.
8. There is no shame in stealing food. The pallete wants what it wants.
9. Sometimes tripping someone bigger than you is a good tactic to get the food you wanted from them.
10. Last but not least, never attempt to give a cat a pill without first making an offering of treats and begging for their mercy first.

18. Here are 3 more:

- Yawn like you mean it.

- A sleeping person is an ideal springboard.

- If you're bored, stare at a dark hallway at night, and enjoy watching your human get the jitters.

[begin_within]

20. And a couple more:

1. Where they have been all day is not relevant.

2. It's perfectly OK to wake them for some nice petting; they will just go right back to sleep.

[bluethruandthru]

21. No one can see me if I put my head in a paper bag!

[begin_within]

23. Not only that,

I can enter a paper bag, and turn around and walk out, and it looks like one cat went in and another cat came out immediately!

[Lefty48197]

22. I've learned one important less from all cats

They are absolutely psychotic.

[NV Whino]

24. When in doubt,

nap.

[NV Whino]

25. Another one...

Cats always know the coolest spot in the house.

(I'm still trying to figure out how I can fit behind the toilet, though.)
