Wisdom From Our Cats to Other Cats

Actually, this lens was published at the request of my cats to help other cats. It's intended to share wisdom for their benefit.

Since it has been written in English and posted on the Web, it's possible that some people may also read it.

If your cat helped you find this article (or if you like cats), this may help you understand them.

The Real Authors

Material for this lens was provided by Pounce TheCat, Coco Cabana, Katrina Kahtay, Maxwell Goodcat, and Olivia Felini.

All of them are cats.

By the way, I took the photos. Then I typed the text with the helpful supervision of Olivia Felini.

They will throw away their coffee if they see you drink out of their cup.

Otherwise, they will drink the coffee.

“Sample their food only when they're NOT looking.”

Pretend to listen while people talk.

It makes them feel important.

“Whatever people say makes sense to them.”

About Food

A food bowl half full is as good as empty.

It's not food if it smells good.

“Waiting beside an empty food bowl never fills it.”

Sit anywhere on anything at any time

If you can go there, you belong there

“If they won't let you sit on something, at least put your tail on it.”

You can learn a lot by watching

“Indignant is better than innocent.”

Nap with conviction

The only nap that matters is the one you're taking

“Stay away from people who think you're a dog.”

You want to sit HERE?

Try new positions when you nap

“Keep your fur clean because you have to live inside it.”

Return immediately after being thrown out.

“Eventually they will brag about things you broke.”

Just because they say "No" does not mean you should stop.

“Have at least one hiding place no one can find.”

Appear nonchalant during times of chaos.

Maxwell Goodcat, Photo by Steve Kaye

“Never make a mess you can't pretend was always there.”

Sunbeams

No sunbeam lasts forever.

Even the best sunbeam will move.

There is no such thing as a bad sunbeam.

Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow.

(Translation omitted)

Never let them know you're laughing.

Poem by Steve Kaye

A Guest in My Home

I make the payments, I do,
but I don't own this place, no way.

I certainly live here, that's true,
but I'm more like a guest, sort of.

I buy all of the supplies, that too,
but I don't shop for me, not first.

I choose the furniture, of course,
but I always sit last, oh my.

I'm the largest one here, by far,
but I don't make the rules, not me.

I suppose I could change, I know,
but I'd rather have a cat, I would.

    I shout make one of these for my cats. I loved this one: If you can fit there, you belong there. Classic!

    I believe that all cats are reincarnate royalty. They must be because they sure think they rule the world! We have one kitty here and one that went with my oldest when she left home. Both found us after being abandoned by their mother a year apart... they were just infants and very, very sick. The mother is a stray and very wild but seems to trust us with her sick kitties. We adore our babies... but are dreading finding another one this year! We can't say no!! I'd recommend the page my dog wrote... but your kitty wouldn't like a page about ugly dogs anyhow :) Kitties totally rule!
