CAT PHYSICS
Any of you remember studying the different "laws" in
Physics class? These laws are much more interesting
and relevant to my daily life with cats, plus you
don't have to memorize them, you live and experience
them everyday. See if you agree.
--Law of Inertia:
A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted
upon by some outside force, such as the opening of a cat
food can.
--Law of Thermodynamics:
Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in
the case of a cat, in which all heat flows to the cat.
--Law of Dinner Table Attendance:
Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served.
--Law of Cat Magnetism:
All black sweaters and blue blazers attract cat hair in
direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.
--Law of Rug Configuration:
No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very
long.
--First Law of Energy Conservation:
Cats know that energy is neither created nor destroyed
and will, therefore, use as little of it as possible.
--Second Law of Energy Conservation:
Cats also know that energy can only be stored by a lot
of napping.
--Law of Random Comfort Seeking:
A cat will always seek, and usually take over, the most
comfortable spot in any given room.
--Law of Bag and Box Occupancy:
All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat
within
the earliest possible nanosecond.
--The Law of Furniture Replacement:
A cat's desire to scratch the furniture is directly
proportional to the cost of the furniture.
--Law of Cat Elongation:
A cat can make her body long enough to reach just
about any countertop that has anything remotely
interesting on it.
"A cat can be trusted to purr when she is pleased, which is more than can be said for human beings."
~ William Ralph Inge
When your kitten is a youngster, watch out for exceptionally bold behavior. Some cats can come to see themselves as your superior and will attempt to dominate you. Make sure you assert your position as the boss early on by setting up guidelines of good behavior for your cat.
