Rule number one: When in doubt, wash.
Rule number two: If rule one does not apply, nap.
Rule Number Three - if rules 1 and 2 are complete, eat.
Rule Number Four - Meditate as needed.
I think this is enough rules. Don't want life to get too complicated.
Rule #3 - when Rules 1&2 are complete, eat. - Miles
ReplyDeleteYou looks like you is hafing a furry happy dream!
Miles beat me to it - I was going to say, what about the most important rule (for me) - EAT???? But when one has a nice full stomach, your two rules are very important, Derby!
ReplyDeleteI like those rules, I think we all should abide by them at all times.
ReplyDeletein fact.... I think Rule #2 might need to go into effect right now...
Derby, I love your philosophy in life. I'd like to add #3- eat which can be applied as needed.
ReplyDeleteYou look so comfy (and meowmy says CUTE!)
I think Rule #3 is meditate. Works for me.....

Hi Derby. When Jasmine saw Rule #1 she wondered if you had made this up yourself, or if you had already read the book 'Jennie' by Paul Gallico. Check out this note about the book and in the review paragraph you will see this exact line!
ReplyDeleteOops. I meant to say '... also read the book...'.
ReplyDeleteJasmine read this book many years ago when she was a littler Jasmine. She really really liked it.
Hi Derby!
ReplyDeleteSorry we missed your Smiley Boy contest. We sure would have voted for you!
Hope your Mums foot feels better, but of course with Dr. Derby on call 24/7, how can it not be?
whoa. you effun smile in yur sleep. cool!
ReplyDeleteShort and to the point!
ReplyDeleteDerby, I love the way you make things seem so simple. We all just need to learn to go with the flow, that's what my Mom always says.
ReplyDeleteYou are wise.
I agree, too many rules would leave too little time for washing, napping, eating, and meditating.
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed to tell you that my mom would kiss your footies like a million times, she says they are so cute. I think she needs to pay attention to the rules.
ReplyDelete#3 would be my #1, but other than that, you got it!
ReplyDeleteI think for Mrs.B rule #1 is "when in doubt eat" and rule #2 is "if rule number #1 does not apply, eat some more"
ReplyDeletedon't we always get to eat? that's the best rule!
ReplyDeleteJumps up and down ... I have a very special rule ... for younger cats ... Play!!! Acutally all the cats in this house play a lot :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome on my blog.
I think these are fantastic rules, Derby! When life is simple, you don't have to worry about so much. I love the photos as well.

Looks like you 'bout covered it, Derby! Thanks for making it so convenient for us to enlighten the people! When they ask "what are you doing?", we can just point 'em to your rules!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are great, Derb! I espeshully like to take baths. I like to clean in between all my toes.
ReplyDeleteGood revised rules, Derby...though I still think eating should be rule number 1...
ReplyDeleteGeorge, Tipper, Max & Misty, the smiley cat contest is still going. I just checked and Derby is in second place. Go vote for him now.
