Life is Simply Purrfect

~*~ Lessons Learned From Our Cats ~*~

As Pet Parents, we all know that our 4-Legged Kids can teach us so much about life. Here are a few lessons that our Feline Kids can teach us.

1…When life gets hard, take a nap.

2…Curiosity never killed anything except maybe a few hours.

3…Variety is the spice of life–one day ignore people, the next day annoy them.

4…Climb your way to the top–that’s why the drapes are there.

5…Never sleep alone when you can snuggle with someone.

6…Make your mark on the world–or at least spray in each corner.

7…Always give generously–a small bird or rodent left on the bed tells them, “I’m thinking of you.”

8…Speak up when you want something, or anytime you just feel like speaking up.

9…Use your claws when you need them, but put them away when you don’t.

10…Choose wisely who you let get close to you, let alone put their hands on you. You don’t have to let somebody touch you if you don’t want them to.

Lesson 1: Never Underestimate the Value Of A Good Nap…
Cats know the value of sleep and the art of getting good z’s. Chances are, your cat will also tell you that you’re probably not getting enough.

Lesson 2: Attitude Is Everything …
Cats embrace their natural gifts because they know this: a little swagger is okay if you can back it up.

Lesson 3: Groom Well….
Grooming is about health, comfort, and how you present yourself to the world. Cats spend up to one-third of their waking lives cleaning themselves

Lesson 4: People Love Positive Feedback…
Cats must know that most people are not experts at most things — especially at pleasing cats. We therefore need their feedback, right?

Lesson 5: Catnip Can Make You Do Foolish Things…
Even the coolest of cats can lose all composure around catnip

Lesson 6: Have A Mind Of Your Own…
Cats are famously independent and curious creatures.

Lesson 7: Never Settle For Less Than You Deserve …
Cats still see themselves as gods in fur coats, so they have high expectations. Getting us humans to comply with their requests takes hard work. That’s were goal-setting comes in.

Lesson 8: Live Like You’re On Your Ninth Life…
Cats may have nine lives, but humans have just one, so make yours count.

and most of all …. Play hard. Lay in the sunshine. Listen to the birds sing. Yawn like you mean it. Speak up when you have something to say.
