Cat's Manual

Aha! This must be how Nola learned all those...

My sister recently sent me this funny book,
The Silent Miaow: A Manual for Kittens, Strays, and Homeless Cats
— Translated from the Feline by Paul Gallico.


It's an entertaining read for humans too, covering from how a cat should take over a household to various behavioral techniques to charm human cohabitants and get them to cater to cat's needs. Clearly Nola already read this cover to cover. Here's just a couple of examples from the many takeaways, demonstrated by Nola...

The "Chair" chapter points out: You have to spend a great deal of time on a chair until your people acknowledge that it's yours, not theirs.



The "Door" chapter says: To be let in, scratch the door and speak up. To be let out, just sit by the door and stare at it.

Ways to Get Attention

Block their work.
(Doesn't always result in the kind of attention you want.)



Sprint like a maniac, and almost trip them.



Throw yourself down on the ground.
(Make sure to check first that they're looking.)



Success.
