Don't you know that? I mean, one has to realize that cats have a special rule. People try to make rules for cats, of course... my humans try to make rules for me in here. Silly creatures, humans.
There is ONE (1) CAT RULE: Break any rules you come across.
When I was rummaging in the forbidden(so-called) library the other day, I ran into a paper with rules for Stray Cats (whatever that is...cats never call themselves "stray.) Here's what it said:

cats will not be fed anything except dry cat food.

If you think your place is "too small" for me to come to see you, try me. Where was it that you said your place was, anyway? I would like to come to dinner sometime, for sure.
With a delicious chutter, KC
