Tips for Possum

Dear Pablo,

Now that little Possum has found a safe home, I thought that it would be good to give her some tips about life with humans. Here are a few pointers to start. Monica may decide to give some tips of her own later on.

1. be adorable. This is not a hard thing for you now, Possum, since you are a little kitten. People find kittens to be irresistible. But when you get older, you will need to be sure to maintain an adorable quality. Grooming is important here, to keep your fur nice and soft so that the people want to pet you.
2. be aloof. Be sure to make it clear to your people that you do not need their attention. Although it is very nice and fun and pleasant to be around your people, it is important to always keep them wanting more of your attention and not the other way around.
3. be polite and demure. This is similar to the previous tip. By being polite and undemanding, the people want to be around you more. This can gain a cat some special privelidges such as being allowed into the bedroom at night when other cats are kept out.
4. always keep them wanting more. I know I said that already, but it is the most basic and most important rule of living with people.

Good luck Possum.

That's a very beautiful picture of you, Phoebe! And your tips are great! Kate met Possum a few days ago... she said to tell you that Possum needs to work on her aloofness. She's just too friendly! Not a problem I've ever experienced personally...

laundrey is so hard to fold with paws it makes one really weary.

Possum is a kitten that we know. Her blog is listed on our blog list on the right side of the page.

I can understand how laundry would make a dog tired. Cats are better at it.
