# I will not climb the foam padding on the recording studio walls and walk sideways along the ceiling. It is disconcerting to the humans
# I will not dart into my humans' bedroom and crawl under the bed when she is getting ready for bed. My human is very tired and does not appreciate having to either drag me out from under the bed or get up to throw me outta the room (due to my obnoxious caterwaulling because I have decided that I want out of the room) just as she is starting to fall asleep.
# I will NOT sneak silently up on the empty stall door behind the human grooming her horse, blissfully unaware of my presences, and the make a flying leap onto her back. She makes a loud noise, grabs me by the scruff of my neck, and hurls me into the hay deck.
# If my human has had a bad day, I will be nice. I will not attack her until she is convinced the whole world is out to get her and starts crying.
# My human's cooking gets criticized enough without me starting on it too. (She comes through to the kitchen, looks at my food, shouts and ignores me. Weird.)
# When he comes back from the vet, my brother is the same cat he was before he went. I can be excused for hissing at him for a little while because he smells different, but I will not continue to hiss at him for ten whole days.
# When it is -40F outside, I do not need to go out. If I decide I should anyway, I should ask to be let in 20 seconds later at the same door. I should not under any circumstances jump into the snow and go to the basement window that doesn?t open, and howl to be let in there, forcing my humans to tromp through the snow to retrieve me.
# When my human is practicing kung-fu or any other martial art and is in 'the zone', I will not leap at him/her. It says a lot about them that they have not yet hurt me. I especially won't sulk because they scared me when they nearly kicked me through the wall.

dogs are easy..
Eh, properly trained dogs require work, but I find a well behaved dog much more enjoyable than a cat (not to mention that you can actually teach dogs to do obedience work and compete in competitions and stuff, which can be fun for both of you). ;)
