From Denny: When your cat whines all day because all it does is rain - like mine did today - be sure to read him or her a lullaby about how awesome, good-looking and wonderful they are. You know, read from the same fairy tale book you read to your special someone in your life! A little ego stroking goes a long way to getting that satisfying purr going and then Life is good!
Some of their favorite quotes to hear when they are settling in for a snooze:
* Cats can be cooperative when something feels good, which, to a cat, is the way everything is supposed to feel as much of the time as possible. - Roger Caras (And we are ego stroking and ego stroking...)
* Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience. - Pam Brown (They hold this practice in high esteem, honing their skills by practicing often.)
This one bears repeating as cats love symmetry and routine:
* Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience. - Pam Brown (All of my kitties have learned this astounding feat.)
* If I tried to tell you how much I love my cats, you wouldn't believe me - unless your heart is also meow-shaped and covered in stray fur. - Lexie Saige (You might want to read this one again and again as big egos and little egos love this one in particular. It's good to know we are loved!)
* If purring could be encapsulated, it'd be the most powerful anti-depressant on the pharmaceutical market. - Alexis F. Hope (Thus endeth the fairy tale with a happy ending. Your cat will look at you, content their worth in the world has been reaffirmed. Besides, "they told you so; you should have listened the first time.")
