Rules for the Blurpy Thing

GEORGE

Recently I told you a Blurpy Thing will be coming to our family and Misty told you about the Pink Shower ladies. So, now we know ours will be a Blurpy Girl Thing.

I gave the Blurpy Thing fair warning that I would be posting a list of rules I expect her to follow and I'm sure you'll all agree with me that these rules are very reasonable.

1. I run this house with an iron paw, so you'll need to get my permission before you do anything. But don't wake me up to ask permission...wait until I'm awake.

2. I have this house arranged exactly like I want it and I know where everything is, so don't try to change anything.

3. I realize there are lots of things you don't know how to do yet, but please try not to leave any smells around, 'specially nasty diaper smells. Be civilized and learn to use the litterbox as soon as possible!

4. No crying or loud noises of any kind, especially when I'm napping. Keep in mind I try to get in at least 18 hours of nap time a day.

5. Don't eat our food or drink our water, 'specially my tuna water! Of course, I will check out your food and may decide to try some.

6. On the subject of toys, don't play with ours. This means 'specially glitter balls, flying feathers, feather-butt mousies or anything with my 'nip in it, 'specially my 'nip raviolis!! However, if I want to play with your toys, I will.

7. Even though PINK is your color and our cube tents are PINK, they are OURS so you aren't allowed to be in them, specially if one of us in in there.

7. Don't sleep in any of our beds. That includes the catbed, our perch, all sofa and chair cushions, the guestroom bed and the big bed. I've been told you'll have a special, small bed which I will check out.

8. If you're on Mom's lap and I want to be there, you'll have to move. Same goes with Dad's lap & shoulder. They both belong to me and I lay by one of them every evening.

9. Don't try and take the red & blue gizzy quilt or the pink & purple one, either. They're ours! Mom is crocheting a special small blanket and you can use that after I check it out, of course.

10. Regarding your stroller, I've wanted a stroller for a long time but I still don't have one. I think this is very unfair, so I may decide I want to go strollering in yours, which means you can't use it when I'm using it. Keep in mind who has seniority around here!!

11. I am to be called Uncle George and I'll teach you everything you need to know to be in this family. I'll let you hang out with me , but only if you're quiet and you smell good. After all, I do have a certain image to maintain!

12. Oh, I almost forgot...NO fur grabbing or tail pulling!!
