Just like the numerous other "love your pet" holidays that have sprung up by the dozens in recent years, Cody and I feel that cats should be respected EVERY DAY, not just ONE DAY in the year!
That being said, in order to honor this momentous occasion I asked Cody to share some ways that I could be sure to honor his request for my undying respect, and here they are!
1) Serve Food That I Love
2) Have regular Vet Check-Ups
(yes, my furiends I actually SAID this!)
3) Play With Me when I Want To Play
Not Just When YOU Want To Or "Have Time" To Play
4) Provide Fun Toys To Play With
When We DO Play!
5) Provide Comfy Sleeping Spots

6) Don't Bring Home A Dog
(Ok, I will forgive you for this one, it's fun to torment him)
7) Give ME More Blogging Time
(I am tired of you taking over "OUR" blog)
8) Love Me Even When I Am Old And Gray
(Ok, I am not old and I am already gray, so sue me! I mean GRAYER!!)
9) Donate To Animals In Need
(and whenever possible, help them to find furever homes)
10) Only Take Photos Of Me
When I WANT YOU TO!
(as in NEVER!!)
If you do NOT obey the vast majority of the above commands
Kitties: What are some ways that YOUR humans can show YOU some more respect? Or...are they pawfect already?
Love, Cody
11. Gimme all da bacon!
ReplyDeleteBwwwwah!!! Love it! Love, Cody
DeleteHaha this is awesome. The first one is so Max - he'll also reach out and tap me on the hand to ask nicely for a bite of what I'm having. MOL x
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you!!!! Max is polite...me? Not so much MOL! Love, Cody
Deletehehehe Cody in some ways you're like a bunny,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is one INCREDIBLE compliment! Thank you! I am most flattered! Love, Cody
DeleteI bet Sparkle would have been all over this day! Since my human has been hauling me off to cat shows at least twice a month for the past few months and doing all sorts of stuff for me, I can't complain.
ReplyDeleteYep! Sparkle sure would have! Love, Cody
DeletePawsome post Cody ! We wouldn't have say better ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you my furiend! xoxo
DeleteTotally agree with you, Cody!
ReplyDeletePurrs xx
Athena
thank you!!!! xoxo
DeleteYou captured it very well, Cody :D Respectful Pawkisses for a respectful Day..Weekend..Life :) <3
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you!!!! Love the "Respectful Pawkisses for a respectful Day...Weekend...Life" xoxoxo
DeleteThey all sound great to us. Have a super Saturday Cody and we hope you get spoilt rotten today.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Thank you!! I am spoiled every day!! MOL! Love, Cody
DeleteI like the "don't bring home a dog" one. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some mighty good points and we wrote them down for our Mom. Only one thing, we do love our doggie that lives here. So some dogs are OK. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marg!! Shhhh...don't tell! I actually love ours too! Love, Cody
DeleteOh boy, this is going to go to their heads! Great list, Cody, I'll be sure to share it with the "bosses"! :)
ReplyDeleteMOL!!! thank you!!! I love how you called them "the bosses" They are! Love, Cody
DeleteI said 'agree' to each one, until I saw the last point "Only take pictures of me when I want you too." Cats are too cute not to take pictures of them all the time. Otherwise I think I'm a good cat mom :-)
ReplyDeleteVanessa you are 100% correct and I totally agree with you! Remember, these are CODY'S tips...NOT mine! (I asked him for his input).........you are a MEOWVELOUS "cat mom!"
DeleteDear Cody,
ReplyDeletePlease tell my Parental Unit not to attempt to make the bed while I am sleeping on it! Talk about disrespectful...
you are sooo right! That is BEYOND disrespectful! I never sleep on the bed (do you believe it? Mom thinks I am strange!) but Angel Bobo used to ALL of the time and sometimes Mom would have the nerve to try and move him too! Love, Cody
DeleteThat was so good Cody and we enjoyed those. You might want to keep Dakota though!
ReplyDeletethanks so much Brian!! Yeah, I guess I will keep Dakota, don't have much of a choice! MOL! Love, Cody
DeleteOh brother...cats! I think I will respect my cat bro Bert by sitting on him today. Maybe you can con Dakota into more respect, but at my house it's not happening!
ReplyDeleteEmma, you are sooo lucky you do not live with me! I would whap your butt into shape! MOL! Love, Cody
DeleteCody you're right on!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDakota doesn't like #6 right.
ReplyDeleteAll great advice.
Have a purrfect day Cody. My best to your wonderful peeps. ♥♥♥
Hehehe! He is used to it! I RULE the house!! We all send our love back!
DeleteMost excellent Pictography! Mes been thining it would makes a great book or calendar. Cody yous a great Male Model
ReplyDeleteKisses
Nellie
Oh Nellie you are so sweet! Thank you!!!! Maybe one day...........Kisses back at ya! Love, Cody
DeleteWe think you got them all covered! Thanks for stopping by last Caturday!
ReplyDeletemy pleasure! No need to thank me!
DeleteMom treats me like the Queen I am. I do wish she would play just a bit more when I want to, but she does play with me. I'm extremely bonded with her so I guess she's OK. MOL
ReplyDeletehaha! Fun post! All fantastic ways to show some kitty love!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Great post- I hope every human follows these to make their kitties happy. You are lucky to have such a loving Mom and Dad.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!! You are pretty darned good yourself! Love, Cody
DeleteCallie agrees that we need more toys!! I don't have any for her yet :( We still play with other things though. I am slowly trying to build up her collection of stuff, but have to watch my spending since my boyfriend's work closed down 2 weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteOh Ann I am so sorry to hear that!!! There are TONS of things you can use as toys instead of traditional toys (which to be honest, they don't always play with anyway!)
Delete1) take an old sock, put cat nip in it and tie the end so it doesn't fall out
2) Use a ring from a milk bottle (my cats never liked them, but many do)
3) paper bag with handle cut off
4) empty box
5) roll up a wad of paper and throw it
Completely agree! But we love our dog! :) Bo and Kobi
ReplyDeleteShhhh...don't tell...I actually love ours too! Love, Cody
DeleteI think you have got it all summed up there Cody. My mum should show me more respect. I object to the way she shadows me when I want to poop. Then she stands there and watches to see what comes out. To make matters worse, then she tittle tattles to the vet to describe it in detail. The embarrassment!
ReplyDeleteThank you Flynn and I must agree with you. I think your Mum "shadowing" you while you poop and WATCHING and then reporting it to the vet where you can hear is MOST disrespectful! Sheesh! Love, Cody
DeleteCongrats! I's nominated ya for a Liebster Award - ya can pick it up here.
ReplyDeleteThanks much!! We are honored!
DeleteUm, we think every day is Respect Your Cat Day.
ReplyDeleteUm....read the second paragraph......I said that :)
Deletexoxo
Oh, Mommy totally FAILS on item #10!
ReplyDeleteThose are all great ways to show kitty some respect. My mom could use a little improvement on number 3 (more play) and as long as the neighbor dog never comes in the house, I guess she's doing on on number 6.
ReplyDeleteWe agwee 100%. And we know yous not do da awards fing, but weez nominatin' you fur one on ow Blest Sunday blog posty. Yous awe an inspiwation to us and weez wanna tell ya so.

Ohhhh myyyyy Dezi and Lexi!! I saw the award before I saw this comment! OMC THANK YOU!!!!! We aren't an "inspiration" to ANYONE!! MOL!!! Seriously! We're not on anyone's top 10 blog list so your comment means the world to us!!! Thank you so much and thank you for understanding that we no longer blog about awards. We used to! It doesn't mean we don't appreciate it, we soooooooooo do! Thank you and we love you too!!! xoxoxo
DeleteWe have to admit that the Mom is pretty decent, but we wish hers would drop EVERYTHING and pay attention to us the second we appear!
ReplyDeleteHahahah...those are amazing advices Cody!!! I will share this with Gembul at home ;)
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you my furiend! Hope Gembul likes them! Love, Cody
DeleteOh very well said, Cody! Bravo!! You are indeed a worthy member of NUCAT :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Austin my furiend!!!! Love, Cody
DeletePerfect for me Cody.
ReplyDeleteI want to add juste one small thing ! I want to go outside early in the morning. I dont know why I have to wait till 8h00. And I want to stay outside at night when ever I feel like doing it ... But I know that it's impossible.
Ronrons
Hisia
Hi Hisia! I think your request of going outside early in the morning is quite reasonable! I think your human is smart not to let you stay out all night though, I wouldn't want you to get hurt in the dark! Your human is smart, you should only be out in daylight! Love, Cody
DeleteWow! Vet check-up was number 2 on the list?! Very good Cody! These are all great ideas!
ReplyDeleteYep it sure was! I love "Dr.Smiley!!!" Love, Cody
DeleteLOL on #6!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEmma and Buster
MOL!!!! Love, Cody
DeleteCody, you have the cutest "mug" ever! And we are positive your every wish is your Mama's command! Every day too! ;)
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
you are too kind my furiend!!!! Yeah....I pretty much have Mom eating out of my paw!!! MOL!!! Much love, Cody
DeleteIs being pulled out from under/behind furniture respectfur?? Well, Minko says this happens a lot...when he is decorating the carpet or needing some other kinds of unwarranted attention. And Pipo says he gets a lot of being ignored when the food bowl is empty, or when he miaows for the playtime rituals...
ReplyDeleteSheesh, and not blogging enough...we need to fire her, d'ya think?!?
Purrfect list, Cody!
ReplyDeleteI put my pawprint under that too :)
XOXO
thanks pal!! Love, Cody
DeleteCody you rocked it out of the park, fun post!
ReplyDeletethank you my furiends!! Love, Cody
DeletePawesome list! We give it 4 (x3 cats) paws WAY up!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely agree with every one of them. Cody is speaking for all of our kitties!
ReplyDeleteLove this!!
