BATHROOMS:

Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare.

DOORS:

Do not allow any closed doors in any room. To get the door open, stand on hind legs, and hammer with forepaws. Once the door is open, it is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered an ‘outside’ door opened, stand halfway in and out, and think about several things. This is particularly important during cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito season.

CHAIRS AND RUGS:

If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you cannot manage in time, get to an oriental rug. If there is no oriental rug, shag is good. When throwing up on the carpet. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up, so it is as long as a humans bare foot.

HAMPERING:

If one of your humans is engaged in some activity, and the other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called ‘Helping’, otherwise known as ‘Hampering’.
The rules for ‘Hampering are as follows:-

1. When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You cannot be seen.

2. Thereby you stand a better chance of being stepped on, and then picked up and comforted.

3. For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and the book, unless of course, you can lie across the book itself.

4. For paperwork, lie on the work in the most appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work as possible, or at least the part currently in progress. Pretend to doze, but every so often, reach out and slap the pen or pencil.

5. For people paying bills or working on income taxes or Christmas cards, keep in mind the aim: To Hamper! First, sit on the paper being worked on. When dislodged, watch sadly from the side of the table. When activity proceeds nicely, roll around on the papers, scattering them to the best of your ability. After being removed for the second time, push pencils, pens and erasers off the table, one at a time.

A) When a human is holding a newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to jump on the back of the paper. Humans love to jump.

B) When human is working at the desk, walk across the keyboard, bat at mouse pointer on the screen, and then lay in humans’ lap across arms, hampering typing in progress.

WALKING:

As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in front of the human, especially on stairs, when they have something in their arms, in the dark, and when they first get up in the morning. This will help their coordination skills.

BEDTIME:

Always sleep on the human at night, so he/she cannot move around.

LITTER BOX:

When using the litter box, be sure to kick as much litter out of the box as possible. Humans love the feel of kitty litter between their toes.

HIDING:

Every now and then, hide in a place where the humans cannot find you. Do not come out for three to four hours under ANY circumstances. This will cause the human to panic (which they love), thinking that you have run away or are lost. Once you do come out, the human will smother you in love and kisses, and you will probably receive a treat.

ONE LAST THOUGHT:

Whenever possible, get close to the human, especially their face, turn around, and present their butt to them. Humans love this. So do it often. And DON’T FORGET GUESTS.
