Demand Attention. You may have to lie on someone's head while they sleep or plant your body in front of the television while they watch, but don't rest until you get all you're entitled to.
Speech is Overrated. You don't have to talk to be the most adorable and lovable one in the house.
Put Up With Your Parents. So they make you wear Rhinestones - - - it's not the end of the world. Besides, they are the ones who feed you.
Use Your Senses. Smell, taste, and touch everything, be it an old shoe or a speck of dirt. Even the smallest item is worthy of your attention.
Practice Good Hygiene. If you're dirty, do what you must, where you must, when you must. It doesn't matter who's watching.
Stand Up For Yourself If someone bothers you, get your back up and show a little claw. You're too cute to be yelled at.
There's No Such Thing As Too Much Groveling. Don't be afraid to cuddle, purr, and nuzzle shamelessly to get your way.
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. All that's really required is that you eat, sleep, love and be loved, and well - - - do your business
