A scientist studying cat behavior was up for review seeking additional funding.

Board member: “If you can tell us how many cats it takes to turn on a light bulb we’ll extend your grant.

Scientist: “We’re getting close to finding out.”

Board member: “What have you found out pertaining to my question?”

Scientist: “So far we know it only takes one cat to turn a light off.”

Board member: “When a cat turns off a light is it intentional or incidental?”

Scientist: “We believe it’s intentional because they’re too agile to tip over your lamp by accident.”

If one of your humans is engaged in some close activity and the other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called "helping", otherwise known as "hampering." Following are the rules for "hampering":

1. When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on and then picked up and comforted. It's even funnier when they try to avoid stepping on you and fall into a counter or table.

2. For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and book, unless you can lie across the book itself.

3. For paperwork, lie on the work in the most appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work or at least the most important part. Pretend to doze, but every so often reach out and slap the pencil or pen. The worker may try to distract you; ignore it. Remember, the aim is to hamper work.

4. When a human is holding the newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to jump on the back of the paper.
