Rule 9. Being given a bath by your human is grounds for justifiable homicide.

lord help us all...
i started putting in bold the most exasperating of these rules but halfway through i realized i was going to end up with almost the whole thing in bold.
rule 3 : my cat likes to hide off to one side of the room when she knows i'll be walking past. then, she leaps out and goes tearing across the room in front of me, just under my feet, as i try desperately not to 1. step on her 2. fall down. obviously, preferred times for this game are : when it's dark (extra surprise points !), when i am carrying a cup of hot tea i have just made (extra danger points !), when i am carrying anything voluminous enough to prevent me from seeing her (extra death-defying exploit points !).
i told me father about this and he said "well that'll teach you to leave Camus lying around."
me : "... ???"
my father : "Camus said once 'every morning i get up and ask myself "is today the day i kill myself ?"' your cat clearly asks herself the same question, and she does test runs to be ready."
moral of the story : don't let your cats read Camus, if you value your life (and sanity).
