The Rules Of Huck The Cat

1. Everything is here to be bitten.
2. If it fights back, bite it more.
3. Good things happen when you're upside down.
4. Somersaults produce treats.
5. It's more interesting in the basement.
6. Sure, they call it "laundry," but when it's being tossed from hamper to basket, it's really "prey."
7. Those things moving in the yard are fascinating.
8. It's okay to complain when your claws are trimmed. How dare they!
9. When carried, be sure to investigate new and interesting things to bite.
10. No matter how loudly Rannie yowls, it's okay to keep chasing her; she knows you're playing.
11. It should be dinner time.
12. I must do more biting! Immediately!

    If you're tired of him biting you I'll take him. :-)

    13. "On top of" is a status reserved for cats. Things which are not cats, but found on top of something, will be batted, nudged, or frankly pushed until they are on the floor.

    Well, at least he's not sitting by the bed at 6:30AM miaowing like some cats I know.

    Oh. He is? Sorry.

    No, by 6:30, he's been fed and has moved on to other pursuits -- watching out the window or chasing Rannie, most often.

    14. "In the morning while Mommy's getting ready and has to be out the door in 20 minutes" is the best time to demand petting and affection. "In the evening when Mommy sits down and has nothing else to do" is the worst.

    Per Joanna's rule #14, here is a corollary Exhibit A.

    Sounds like Huck needs a brother.

    I think those are just the universal rules of orange tomcats... at least Simon sure thinks so.
