Take control of the purse strings if you find yourself running low on treats, catnip and/or sundry mouse toys.
If your Humans shop online, all the better.
Their passwords are one of your names. Guaranteed.

Planting Time
Sit on the seeds. That will make them grow faster.

Good Looks
Good looks make everything better. For example, when you are waiting an inordinately long time for your Humans to twist open the faucet of youth, you can check yourself out in the bathroom mirror and think “yeah, I’ve still got it.”
–Charlie
Military Tactics
Occupy the high ground.
–Finnegan
Don’t take the Meowies’ hisses personally. Pursue diplomacy.
-Stella
Flaneurs
It is boring to eat and drink the same things in the same place with the same cats every day. Stroll about in the fine Spring weather to find new tastes, new experiences, and new cat ladies to court on cedar decks, equipped with offerings of fine pate and fresh water.
–Phelps and Quicksilver
Chew on Something
Frustrated? Bored? Chew on something. It will make you feel better.
–Cosmo
Posing for the Paparazzi
If you find yourself in a household with cat-crazy, cellphone – wielding Humans, it is important to know how to pose nonchalantly for the thousands of photos they will take of you, the Cat Celebrities. For example, crossing your front paws takes a classic Sphinx position to a whole new level of glamour and elegance.

Girl Power
He may be bigger. He may be stronger. Never forget that you have something he’ll never have.
You’ve got girl power.

Saturday Morning
If tuna, bacon and/or creme fraiche are not involved, don’t bother waking a pretty lady on a lazy Saturday morning.
–Lily
Dining Etiquette
Woofies are hopelessly gauche. It’s perfectly acceptable to use colorful hisses, growls, and the threat of razor sharp claws to teach them the rules of dining etiquette.
