  • Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
  • When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
  • When it's in your best interest, always practice obedience.
  • Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
  • Take naps and always stretch before rising.
  • Run, romp, and play daily.
  • Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
  • Be loyal.
  • Never pretend to be something you're not.
  • If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
  • When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
  • Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
  • Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
  • Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
  • On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
  • When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
  • No matter how often you are criticized, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends.

  • Comfort is highly underrated.
  • Baroque music is soothing to the soul and silence is golden.
  • Getting your back scratched is one of life's great pleasures.

  • Showing no expression makes us appear less judgmental.
  • You can learn a great deal by being a good listener.
  • Don't hesitate to give affection to those you love.
  • Your crap should be covered at all times.
  • Even if you're smarter than everyone else, there's no need to let it show.
  • Never worry about others think of you.
  • It's best to live life on your own terms.
  • When you go out on a limb try to land on your feet.
  • A persistent little nudge can pay off big time.
  • Attitude is everything.
  • Even if you're just a kitten, see yourself as a lion.
  • Independence is wonderful and so is companionship.
  • A wide-eyed, innocent look helps to get anything you ask for.
  • Purring is an excellent way to show appreciation
