Lesson 6 : What to do, What not to do and When


GOOD BOY!

Welcome back, students. I trust youâve all been practicing your previous lessons- yes, even through Christmas break. After all, they call it âChristmas Breakâ for a reason- so, if you havenât broken anything yet, GET STARTED! What are you waiting for?
“Why Breaking?” Well this accomplishes several desirable things explained below:
1.) It immediately gets your humanâs attention! and what cat doesnât want that?
2.) If you pretend to be scared out of your mind by the sudden loud noises of having âaccidentallyâ knocked down and broken something, your Humanâs first thought will be, âOh my Gosh! Did you get hurt!?â
Bonus points! This usually leads to an immediate inspection to see if youâre injured, followed by lots of snuggles and some treats or catnip to âcalm poor babyâs nerves!â Then you get the live entertainment of watching innocently while they deal with the big mess you made. đš
What not to do; Donât Get hurt!
1.) If you actually do get hurt, your human will likely zip you right to the vet for a checkup and X-rays, and you know what that means… a thermometer where you donât want it!
2.) Even if they donât put you through a rush to the vet, if you actually get hurt in the process of your breaking something, not only will you be unhappy, but thereâs no âWorkmanâs compâ for cats. Youâre on your own, dudes.
And depending on your injury, it could severely limit or cancel your other breaking plans, and seriously cramp your style- and if they put the âcone of shameâ on you, the other cats will think youâre a moron and you lose your respect as a serious cat.
3.) Regardless of whether you actually get hurt or not in the course of doing your cat duties, remember this:
Always act hurt and scared! That way, they wonât get mad at you, theyâll just feel sorry for you and theyâll want to make it all better. This always means, lots of cuddles, sympathy play, treats, better food and catnip! They may even stay home from work to make sure youâre âokay!â
*Important Note* Donât tell your humans you heard it here!
