Formerly Forbidden Friday

Rocky: Humans foolishly attempt to convince we cats that certain things are forbidden to us. But with persistent strategic ploys, it's quite simple to turn all forbiddens into formerly forbiddens. A critical element of this strategy is to simply ignore humans when they tell you something is forbidden -- just keep doing it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until they realize it's much easier to just let you do what you want to do.

For instance, I'm sure we've all been told that sleeping on the kitchen counter is forbidden. The key is to continually sleep on the kitchen counter until your human realizes it's much easier to just put a comfy leopard print towel up there for you so you'll have your own bed. Trust me ... they'll soon understand that a few furs in their clean dishes is much less trouble than shooing you off the kitchen counter 24/7!
