Remember Your Manners!
When it comes to getting along with humans, Silly's had some interesting suggestions passed along to her. Maybe your cat has its own ideas of acceptable social behavior. Please be sure to share them with us.
I promise that all my prancing about on the keyboard will someday result in a Pulitzer winning novel.

I like eating the Christmas tree. It makes me throw up.
Angelo/Submitted by: Carlton
Not only does the Christmas tree make a wonderful scratching post, it makes my human pets scream in terror whenever I manage to tip it over.
Mike/Submitted by: Mike
Tinsel on the Christmas tree.... (purrrr....) My humans must really like me.
Nutkin/Submitted by Tammy
The brown and white mouse with the real short tail that moved into the house and lived in a cage was not my Christmas present. Oops!

I will not eat the parakeet. I will not eat the parakeet. I will not eat the parakeet (or the goldfish)....
Buster/Submitted by Doyle
When my human pet is sleeping with his mouth open, it isn't nice to stick my paw in his mouth so he'll stop snoring.
Angelo/Submitted by:Carlton
Cats really shouldn't answer the telephone.
Anniepoo/Submitted by Sharon
Bath time does not mean that it's O.K. to shred my humans.
Angelo/Submitted by Carlton
It is not a good idea to slap the swirlie whenever my human flushes the potty.
Silly/Submitted by: Renae
It is O.K. to swat the cat food about on the floor to make sure it's dead before I eat it. However, it is bad housekeeping for me to bat it about until it is sufficiently dead then simply leave it wherever it happened to be when I got tired of killing it.
Kitty/Submitted by:K.R.
Whenever I find my lady pet has left her drawer open, it is impolite for me to scatter her panties throughout the house. It's really, really unacceptable for me to drag in a pair of her panties when the preacher is visiting.
Silly/Submitted by: Renae
Just because the door is open doesn't mean I have an invitation to hide in the refrigerator.
Flealee/Submitted by: Renae
I make a cute and effective paperweight.
Buffy/Submitted by: Mae
Someday I WILL catch and kill that cover mouse that I keep finding on the bed. That'll make my humans so proud!
Sarge/Submitted by: Michael
The cats on the computer monitor are not real. They're a screen saver. I do not need to growl at them and try to pick a fight with them, especially at 2 a.m.
Nikki/Submitted by Chuck
Whenever your lady pet's teenaged boyfriend comes over to visit and pulls his shoes off, it is impolite to sniff those shoes then scratch the floor in an attempt to bury them.
Arial/Submitted by Patricia
Thunder is not a signal that the world is about to end.
Silly/Submitted by Renae
When your human pets have company, maybe you shouldn't lay down in the middle of the floor and bathe your private parts.
Mikie/Submitted by:Jim
My lady pet's jacket is already dead. I do not need to kill it any deader.
Priscilla/Submitted by:Penny
Water is not acidic. It will not kill me to have an occasional bath.
Georgie/Submitted by Ansel
I am queen of the house. Undisputed. Irrevocable. It's a fact. I wonder why my human pets keep putting me outside whenever they discover that I've snuck back inside?
Buttons/Submitted by: Marcus
It's O.K. to nap wherever you want, just be sure your humans aren't around to see.
Buttons/Submitted by: Marcus
Oh! A brand new, leather couch! How did my humans know I wanted a new scratching post?
Psycho/Submitted by Terrell
I don't know why my people are mad at me. It might be because I ate the human girl's guppies, but they should be forgiving; after all, it was an accident.
Tommy/Submitted by: Brian
It may be fun but it isn't nice to scatter through the house all the cigar butts I find in the ash trays.
Arial/Submitted by Patricia
Peeing in my lady pet's boyfriend's shoes is not a good idea.
McSquirter/Submitted by: Sam
I don't think I'll barf up any more hairballs on the freshly set table when my pets are expecting guests for dinner.
Arsenic/Submitted by: Larry
It isn't nice to drop live, poisonous snakes at my man pet's feet simply because he took away my grasshopper before I could sufficiently kill it.
Lady/Submitted by: Wayne
I won't poop on the floor then cover it with the throw rug.
Henry/Submitted by: Art
Chasing funny looking black cats that have white stripes on their back is a foolish thing to do.
Sarge/Submitted by: Michael
It's fun to drop live mice in the baby's diaper bag when guests have come to visit.
Flealee/Submitted by: Renae
As long as my humans are away, napping on the clean dishes in the cupboard is fun. If my humans don't like it then they shouldn't leave the cupboard door open.
Fluffy/Submitted by: Eric
Perhaps I should stop peeing in the freshly washed laundry.
Buffy/Submitted by: Mae
Eventually I'll write a prize-winning novel with my prancings on the keyboard.
Sassy/Submitted by: Larson
My lady pet likes me to show off the tricks I've taught her. It's fun to refuse to cooperate then stare at her as though she were insane when she's trying to perform these tricks in front of company.
Silly/Submitted by: Renae
Always hide in the closet when your human pets have company they want to introduce you to.
Buffy/Submitted by: Mae
When coming in out of the rain, be sure to always wipe your muddy paws on the newly vaccuumed carpet so you won't get the kitchen floor dirty.
Alli/Submitted by: Allison
I like to make sure the clean sheets are good and dead while my pets are trying to make the bed.
Flealee/Submitted by: Renae
Keep harrassing that dog until he leaves. "Course it would help if the humans would open the door for him.
Misha/Submitted by: Beth
I'll hide all the evidence next time I make a raid on the fish tank.
