My mom Cathy wrote a funny article about how the cats taught her to be a better copywriter. You can read the article here.
My favorite:
#1: Walk on the edge and take some risks.
These lazy good-for-nothings take no risks. Ophelia’s too fat to jump up on the counter to eat dinner, let alone walk on the edge. Of course my mom wrote this article when she still had Tiger, who was jumping around almost till the day she died.
#3: Expect to be appreciated.
Mom got this one wrong. “Dogs beg for attention,” she wrote. “Cats take it for granted.”
Ex-cuuuse me! Do I beg for anything that doesn’t promise food? I get all the attention I need without asking. And then some.
And #10: Who cares if someone hates you? There’s always another food dish around the corner.
All I can say is, don’t count on it. And the cats can give you all the copywriting tips. I’m the one who keeps you going when your schedule gets crazy and you need a little love…or a LOT of love.
And now I shall return to my nap. We had a beautiful day at the dog park, didn’t we? Who forced you out the door to enjoy this beautiful weather?
