Thirteen Things That Are Wonderful About Kitties


1. They make sure we never take ourselves too seriously

2. By strategically placing themselves in high-traffic areas, they make sure our sense of balance and reflexes are razor sharp

3. They maintain our hunter-gatherer skills by stealing important items (e.g. car keys, remote controls, socks) and hiding them in cat-only accessible places in the house

4. They magnanimously allow us to bask in the wonderful kittiness that is them

5. They promote us to attain higher and more enlightened versions of ourselves by pointing out every time we're stupid

6. Leading by example, they remind us that no matter how caught up in our lives we are, there's always room for a nap

7. They advise to groom often, especially when caught in the act of losing your cat cool. That way, it looks deliberate

8. Sneaking behind the couch and attacking someone's ankles is a fun way to say, "I love you!"

9. They remind us to take time to sit somewhere up high and just watch the world. It's amazing what you might see.

10. They encourage you to keep your pride's territory clean by regularly shedding and coughing up hairballs on the area in question

11. They're always honest, and never put up with company they don't want to, complete with hissing and the occasional scratch.

12. The kitty box is an eternal reminder to regularly clean out the crap in your life.

13. The kitty purr is a sure sign kitty zen is within reach. Sit back, and embrace your inner kitty
