…are funny when acting nonchalant after a momentary lapse of dignity, poise, or balance.
…have a way of being endearing even when doing something (lying down on your newspaper, or intentionally knocking pens off a nightstand in what quickly became a daily ritual) that should be annoying.
…have very little sense of humor.
…have always known that they should be worshiped.
…love us even when we’re loud, clumsy, and difficult to train.
…are flat after you run over them.
…are critters I dearly miss having. In the meantime I have to settle for my ferret, who plays just like a kitten, but can’t quite measure up in the cuddle department. Just too wired! My Mom could always tell when I had a cat on my lap during a phone call. She swore my voice sounded really relaxed. She was usually right, too!
Wuh-oh…

…know they’re superior,

…steal my heart every time.

-pat you on the nose and cheek and lick tears off of your face when you are crying.
-hate getting baths, but never hold it against you for more than 2 hours after it’s done.
-love being snuggled up in a big warm towel and getting rocked after being subjected to the indignity of a bath.
-beg for treats, but don’t like the ones you buy for them.
-love to snort into the dog’s ears, just to piss him off.
-love to hide in the closet, and peer out at you with their glowy eyes.
-sleep on their backs in front of the fireplace, with their feet twitching.
-pretend to be aloof, but live their lives to sleep on your lap.

…love to hang over the top of the monitor and attack the evil cursor.
…love to sneak into the linen closet and sleep on the clean towels.
…love to get on the beds and jump straight up and try to get the pull chains for the ceiling fans.
How very, very true!
…can land on the bed so lightly that they are virtually insubstantial; or, if they want to wake you up, can land on the bed making themselves weigh 50 pounds, even if they are six-pound cats.
…know that any piece of paper you lay on any surface is expressly there for them to curl up on.
