TOP TEN LAWS OF
CAT PHYSICS
1. Any object anywhere in the universe, will someday be destroyed
by a cat. 2. Whatever time you set your alarm clock for, your cat
will wake you up an hour before that. 3. At every waking moment
of every day, your cat needs something. 4. All cats have attended
the seminar, How to Constantly Be Underfoot and Trip Creatures Much
Larger Than You. 5. When your cat wants the litterbox cleaned,
(s)he wants it cleaned NOW; remember, they can always take their
'business' elsewhere. 6. The chances of your cat damaging
something of yours, and the degree of the damage, is directly
proportional to its value. 7. The film even Hitchcock was afraid
to make—What Cats Do While You're at Work. 8. Any material object
in your house belongs to the cat. YOU belong to the cat. 9.
Never, ever let your cat see your credit card number. 10. Being a cat means never having to say
you're sorry. They have diplomatic immunity. They invented the 'It's
not me, it's you' defence.

TOP TEN OTHER
LAWS OF CAT PHYSICS
1. Cats like high ground. All shelves, countertops and cabinet
tops are THEIR TURF. If you fail to clear off these areas
for their exclusive use, they will do it for you. 2. Every
movable object is a cat toy. Every immovable object is a scratching
post. 3. Every place in your house, no matter how obscure or
well-hidden, is accessible by the cat. Especially if you're not
home. 4. The chances of your cat actually using that toy or
accessory you bought them is inversely proportional to its
cost. 5. Presented with the choice of giving a cat a bath or
committing suicide, most people opt for the latter. 6. Nanosecond
(n.): the amount of time between your cleaning the catbox and it
being used again. 7. Any cute or amusing pose or antics displayed
by your cat will immediately cease the moment you turn on the camera
/ remove the lens cap. 8. As soon as you get your cat inside the
car, they instinctively know they're going SOMEPLACE BAD. 9. Even
animals as darling as cats have enemies. DO NOT open any email
addressed to That Little Furball from Hell. 10. The cat—nature's
paper shredder.
