How to wake up your human

 

Chest kneading

Humans are lazy animals. Every now and again, they refuse to wake up on what they call "Sunday." (And, no, I don't know what that means.)

 It is necessary to wake them. Here are some methods contributed by various cats who have refined their individual technique.

  • Heavy kneading on the human chest.
  • The flying pounce.
  • The loud purr in ear.
  • The gentle ear nip.
  • Walking up and down the body.
  • Loud mewing.
  • Jumping on and off the bed.
  • Nipping toes protruding from the duvet.
  • Face to face rubbing, with or without purr.
  • Backing the butt close to the human nose.... yes, that works!
  • Bringing a dead rat on to the bed.


But the ultimate wake up call is a living rat on pillow. That always works. And it works fast.

Help for cats whose humans show behaviour problems.

This blog is devoted to the study of human behaviour. We cats, who live with this sometimes unpredictable and always feeble minded species, can benefit from seeing their behaviour in its proper scientific context. The study of feline dilemmas, training problems, and difficulties with humans, can only benefit all of us. All of us train our humans - to buy the right food, for instance, but many of us do not have knowledge of how to improve our training methods. The human species is obviously not as intelligent as the cat, but nevertheless can learn quite a lot - if properly managed. Topics of interest include the use of claw and order, purring as a human reward, rubbing your human up the right way, when to bite, spraying as a method of making our wishes known, ignoring the human, human harassment, human inattention and sheer human stupidity. I welcome your questions. Photos can be sent via my secretary's website, www.celiahaddon.com This blog has been chosen as one of the top 50 feline blogs by Online VetTechprogramms.org
