I posted earlier about the ten commandments of dog ownership, but of course someone has also come up with the ten commandments for cat ownership. Not surprisingly, cats are a little more demanding.

1. I am the Lord of thy house.

2. Thou shall have no other pets before me.

3. Thou shalt not ever ignore me.

4. I shall ignore thou when I feel like it.

5. Thou shalt be grateful that I even give thou the time of day.

6. Remember my food dish and keep it full.

7. Thou shalt spend most of thy money on toys and gifts for me.

8. Thou shalt always have thy lap ready for me to curl up in.

9. Thou shalt shower me with love and attention upon demand.

10. Above all, thou shalt do anything and everything it takes to keep me happy.

What is the ideal location in your house, from a cat’s perspective?

In honour of the Day of the Cat (February 22: pronounced “nyan, nyan, nyan”), the What Japan Thinks blog translated a survey on your cat’s favourite places to be. I’m not really sure how they got the cats to answer the survey…

Found this in a May 2001 Reader’s Digest (Asia edition). Cat owners can relate…

*******************

The long-running musical CATS brought audiences a romanticised view of these well-loved pets. Despite the elaborate costumes, popular songs and lively dancing, the play didn’t quite capture the essence of our feline companions. Here is what CATS should have done:

1 Audience members should have entered the theatre only to find their seats had been clawed and covered with fur.

2 Sometimes the actors would have performed, but sometimes not — depending on their mood.

3 When certain audience members opened their playbills, cast members should have attempted to lie down on them.

4 For no apparent reason, the actors should have randomly run to the lobby and then back to the stage at top speed. They then should have continued as if nothing had happened.

5 A special audience member might have found a headless bird in his or her seat after intermission.

6 The show would have had to stop several times to allow cast members to bathe and groom themselves.

7 Most of the final act should have consisted of the cast just staring at the audience.
