You know, mom, you've lorded this whole Sandy Paws thing over me long enough: I'm not a BAD CAT! You just need to remember the golden rule(s) of living with The Cat.

   * Feed me, and/or
   * Entertain me
    (If you can do both at the same time, that'd be really cool, too!)

But you see, right now NEITHER OF THESE THINGS are happening. Therefore, I get to make your life complete HELL until you either get down on the floor and offer me a selection of toys from the toy basket to play with, or come across with the packet of Pounce!

That is all.
