Cats and teenagers

[Maxie]

NOW! Learn how teenagers and cats are EXACTLY ALIKE!
01. Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when
you call them by name.
02. No matter what you do for them, it is not enough.
Indeed, all humane efforts are barely adequate to
compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand
and foot.
03. You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house
with an adult human being, and it can be safely said
that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be
seen in public with his or her parents.
04. Even if you tell jokes as well as Jay Leno,
neither your cat nor your teen will ever crack a
smile.
05. No cat or teenager shares your taste in music.
06. Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa
for hours on end without moving, barely breathing.
07. Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if
they did.
08. Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly the same
manner, communicating that ultimate human ecstasy: a
sense of complete and utter boredom.
09. Cats and teenagers do not improve anyone's
furniture.
10. Cats that are free to roam outside sometimes have
been known to return in the middle of the night to
deposit a dead animal in your bedroom. Teenagers are
not above that sort of behavior.
Thus, if you must raise teenagers, the best sources of
advice are not other parents, but veterinarians. It is
also a good idea to keep a guidebook on cats at hand
at all times. And remember, above all else, put out
the food and do not make any sudden moves in their
direction.
When they make up their minds, they will finally come
to you for some affection and comfort, and it will be
a triumphant moment for all concerned.

That feels better (and even better coz I woke them up). I think I will wait until they go back to sleep then pour water in their ears ... apparently that makes them wake up thinking they are drowning ...
