Thread: Dear Cat, Some House Rules .....

I have got tears running down my face laughing at all these. Needed a good laugh today (will post why when my head and heart have stopped arguing)

This one from my son - You are not a labrador puppy. Quickly followed by frantic shouts of "Mum your #$@%&%g cat has nicked the loo roll again!"

My life is now complete with a coonie in it x

Helping me to change the bed linen is not required. It is also not the best game in the world. You are not required to jump inside or under newly fresh and clean duvet covers and then refuse to move.

When i get out of the bath or shower, this is not your queue to get in to the bath/shower and roll around in left over water/get damp and then come and find me and/or the boyfriend to chase you around the house. This is naughty and again this is also not the best game in the world.

The boyfriends bedside table is allowed to have things on top of it. Earphones/i-pods/wallets/cash/mobile phones etc do not have to be knocked off the bedside and hidden under the bed. My bedside table is exactly the same and remains untouched??

My wardrobe is a place for me to put clothes to keep away from your fluff and also a place to hide ever expanding shoe collection from boyfriend.
Getting home from work to find wardrobe open and every single pair of shoes pulled out is not funny and there is only a certain amount of times i can fob boyfriend off with "no those shoes are really old".

(Love my maine coon but list of rules would be endless!!)

Treading your poos into a nice flat pattie does not help to hide them in the litter as i can still smell them and know they are there also just because you are extremely cute it does not give you the right to ignore all other house rules set down for ALL the other felines!!

LOL ! So it's not just Hank who does this then either.... No bin is safe in this house, i've considered nailing them to floor... he goes hunting through them looking for muffin cases

Although I fully appreciate your creativity, my underwear is not a cat toy and does not need to be dragged and dispensed around various points of the house.
I note that you have invented a fun game for us to play, but really I don't much enjoy spending every minute of the day on my hands and knees, fishing your toys out from under the washing machine/sofa/fridge/wardrobe etc.

I dearly love our cuddles in bed, but really you are very small at the moment and shouldn't need to take up half of the bed space, I notice you only ever try it on my boyfriends side of the bed and therefore I believe that you know I would not tolerate such space-hogging. You are not a human and therefore you do not need to lie under the cover with your head on the pillow.

I appreciate how cleanly you are and am very grateful that you religiously use your litter tray, I do sometimes wonder though about the timing of your poopy times as it daily seems to fall upon the time I take my first mouthful of breakfast (the smell of your doody does tend to over-power any other flavour) and once I have snuggled in bed and have just turned out the light to sleep. Would you so kindly consider reconsider these timings to be more friendly to my needs?!

Oh how I have loved this thread & so pleased Bethy-boo that you have had underwear problems,having had my knickers {clean I would like to add} cited in other threads I decided to leave them out of this one.....

Hmmm the underwear thing is somewhat disturbing. Poif doesn't seem to care what state it's in...although only taken from the dirty laundry a couple of times thankfully. But it is slightly embarrassing trying to explain to someone why my bra is draped over the sofa/on the stairs/in the kitchen!!

Erm I will admit to leaving out the undies thing as well but glad not to be alone and that Buddy is not a secret pervert

Eww Buddy think should have been No.1 .....

Used cotton buds MUST remain in the bin. I can not re-itterate this enough! :0
