A well appointed park contains multiple drinking fountains as you never know when hunting…er…strolling will pique your thirst.

Multiply your Chic
Black fur goes with everything. Nothing goes with black fur so well as more black fur.

How do you know I won’t like it?
Humans, how do you know I won’t like peanut butter unless you offer me some? The Woofies seem quite keen on it.
Not good for me, you say?
I’m 16 going on 17. I’ll be the judge of that.

I’ll be your lap warmer if I can warm my face in the crook of your elbow on this crisp November day.

Outnumbered
When you find yourselves outnumbered by the Meowies, stand very, very still, save for the wagging of one of your tails, which they may or may not interpret as a white flag depending on their knowledge of canine signals, the strategic importance of your physical location, and their mood.
Uh-oh, we seem to be blocking access to the Meowies’ kibble.
Deploy the Puppy Eyes! Deploy the Puppy Eyes!

Superiority
We Cats know we are superior.
Thank you, PBS, for producing the documentary “The Story of Cats” that confirms what we always knew about ourselves.

Chefs
We Cats are the Head Chefs in our households.
You Humans can rise no higher than the rank of Sous Chef, at best.
No garlic, no onions, no seasonings at all, save a dash of sea salt to our taste, not yours.
The Human palate is not sufficiently refined to judge seasonings.
On second thought, don’t bother with the cooking.
Present our food raw but at room temperature.
A Great Chef lets the meat sing for itself.

The Mysterious Place the Humans call Work
Don’t be disappointed when Human Daddy brings you to the mysterious place he calls “work.”
It’s less exciting than you imagined but it’s still the best place in the whole wide world because you’re there with your Daddy.

No judgment
Are your Humans hitting the vino kind of hard while watching the election returns tonight?
Remind them that it’s a work night, but don’t judge them too harshly, so long as they pour you a tunatini, a niparita, a Catmopolitan or the cocktail of your choice.
Elections are stressful for all of us.

Royalty
Puppy Princesses need their beauty sleep. So do Cat Queens.
Nothing prevents us from napping together once and awhile.
We’re all royalty, after all.
