"All I Need To Know About Birthdays, I Learned From My Cat!"

submitted by Hart Dowd, Canada

  • Be finicky - they'll try harder to please you.
  • Give attitude - get attention.
  • If you don't like your presents, SULK.
  • If you get bored at your party - just curl up for a nap.
  • Don't stress out over your first grey whisker.
  • Act completely unimpressed by the presents you receive.
  • Remember, this is your day, so if anyone bugs you, you're allowed to hiss and spit.
  • Take the day off and lie in the sun.
  • Stay out on the prowl all night long.
  • Demand only the most expensive fresh fish for dinner.
  • It's a good day to shed your inhibitions.
  • Act catty - toy with your presents before you tear them open.
  • Don't overdo it with the catnip or you'll regret it in the morning.
  • If you aren't getting enough attention, sharpen your claws on somebody's leg.
  • Don't let anything or anyone PUT YOU OUT!
  • And remember...  curiosity might kill you, but birthdays won't!

A Cats Purr

"Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr ...

A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe about ourselves - that we are nice."

Roger A Caras
