Re: ot- a cat's New Year's resolutions

So cute!!

I'm amazed that my current cat roommate does not jump up on the kitchen
counter. I can leave an open can of cat food there, and he won't jump up.
He does run from one end of the apartment to the other chasing the bluejays.
He also gets caught behind open doors. I'll partially close the bedroom door
to hang my robe on the hook on the back. He gets caught between the wall
and the door and doesn't know to push on the door to get out.

The following list was forwarded to me - some of them could work in my
home - most of them would not....I found Winston on the kitchen
counter yesterday (a no-no) where he was quite happily chewing on the
bananas and licking the skins. He has always been attracted to
organic items and loves to climb into the fridge to check out the vege
bins. I doubt that he would make any resolutions to alter his
behaviour though - he likes being who he is - I wouldn't change him
either. jennellh

My human will never let me eat their pet hamster, and I am at peace
with that.

I will not slurp fish food from the surface of the aquarium

I will not eat large numbers of assorted bugs, then come home and
throw them up so the humans can see that I'm getting plenty of
Roughage.

I will not lean way over to drink out of the tub, fall in, and then
pelt right for the box of clumping cat litter. (It took FOREVER to get
the stuff out of my fur.)

I will not use the bathtub to store live mice for late-night snacks.

We will not play "Herd of Thundering Wildebeests Stampeding Across the
Plains of the Serengeti" over any humans' bed while they're trying to
sleep.

I cannot leap through closed windows to catch birds outside. If I
forget this and bonk my head on the window and fall behind the couch
in my attempt, I will not get up and do the same thing again.

I will not assume the patio door is open when I race outside to chase
leaves.

I will not stick my paw into any container to see if there is
something in it. If I do, I will not hiss and scratch when my human
has to shave me to get the rubber cement out of my fur.

If I bite the cactus, it will bite back.

When it rains, it will be raining on all sides of the house. It is not
necessary to check every door.

I will not play "dead cat on the stairs" while people are trying to
bring in groceries or laundry, or else one of these days, it will
really come true.

When the humans play darts, I will not leap into the air and attempt
to catch them.

I will not swat my human's head repeatedly when they are on the family
room floor trying to do sit ups.

When my human is typing at the computer, their forearms are *not* a
hammock.

Computer and TV screens do not exist to backlight my lovely tail.

I will not puff my entire body to twice its size for no reason after
my human has watched a horror movie.

I will not stand on the bathroom counter, stare down the hall, and
growl at NOTHING after my human has watched the X-Files.

I will not drag dirty socks onto the bed at night and then yell at the
top of my lungs so that my humans can admire my "kill."

I will not perch on my human's chest in the middle of the night and
stare until they wake up.

I will not walk on the key board when my human is writing important
adagfsg gdjag ;ln.

If I must claw my human I will l not do it in such a way that the
scars resemble a botched suicide attempt.

If I must give a present to my human guests, my toy mouse is much more
socially acceptable than a big live bug, even if it isn't as tasty.

I must not leave muddy paw prints in the toilet after having a drink
of water.
