1. If you get irritated, WHAP! SMACK! BOOM! MEOW! Then, no hard feelings.
2. Eat when you are hungry. Get someone else to serve it for you, as well as clean up the dishes.
3. Sleep when you are tired.
4. Cuddle when you need cuddling.
5. Keep yourself immaculately clean, but leave the rest of the cleaning to others.
6. If you see a soft blanket or sweater, take it. The owner will understand. Finders, keepers. (Note: this rule does not apply, in reverse, to humans.)
7. You're never too old or too tired to enjoy a fun toy.
8. Assume you will be forgiven for having the occasional crazies.
9. When you need anything, make some noise!
10. When in doubt, play on your cuteness. Then you can get away with just about anything.
I think they have figured out a much better system than ours.

Don't I know it...I am constantly envious of my katten...as he sits staring at me with big Puss 'n' Boots eyes because his food dish is only half full.
I really want to steal the nap one. I'd sleep all the time...
Yep, that is the cat way of life!
In my next life I plan on being a cat. I would like to be one of ours - seriously indulged always - but realise that has some difficulties attached.
This makes me miss having a cat! All true, that.
I have heard the saying, "It's a dog's life" but I would much rather be a house cat.
Cats know something and they aren't telling.
Wow. You make cats sound like an abusive boorish guy whose married to a woman with no self-esteem who just takes the abuse in silence.
Oh yeah, it's true. Cats have learned how to play us like a cheap violin.
I love your list. I think cats are absolutely genius...and devious with a very dry sense of humor. My 2 cats love to get between me and anything I read. If I want to read a newspaper they want to stand on it. If I hold a book, there is a little face peeking over it from the back. I haven't quite figured out there aversion to my reading but I am sure they have thought this out and have a plan.
My favorite part about cats is probably #1. Cats are like drunken Irish brothers. One moment they're mad at each other and swinging fists. The next moment they're hugging and happy as ever. I don't think cats hold a grudge nearly as much as people think they do... at least with those they like.
Also true of dogs. Sleep, eat, poop, play, receive affection for doing what you want to do. How did I miss out on that gravy train?
as I get older and tireder I need my fun toys more.
Oh yeah, cats have it sussed, that's for sure!
LOL, LOL......So True!!!
They have it all figured out and they always have.....! Sometimes being a Cat sounds better than anything....! I mean, it's a good life, isn't it?
Yeah, that about sums up my cat, although sometimes she won't wait for my wife to get up before laying claim to her side of the bed.
How could I not pop in and say "G'Day" after seeing the rampant kitty when I was commenting on Lyn's blog?
Love your blog...thanks for the smiles. I love it!
I think you're right in those cat rules - my two furry, four-legged rascals have certainly read and studied them!
Well, I have thought about wanting to come back as one of our cats, except the diet and the celibacy are a bit much.
Number 3 = my life goal.
I can live by these rules. LOVE them! I've always envied my cats' lives.
Great list. I've decided I'm going to live my life by those rules as well. Expect to see me in divorce court very soon.
Note to self: Be cute and play upon it. That's an important life lesson.
I learn a lot from my cat. I have yet to master the skill of being able to sleep for 22 hours a day, have people serve me food whenever I am hungry without paying them to do so and look cool covered in fur but it's on my list
that's cat's life!
and i love it!:)
big hugs~
