Care of The Cat...or...What Can Be Misconstrued As A Possible Suicide Note

1. Talk to her lots.
2. Give Kitty her space.
3. Beat on her and maul her but if she whines at you or tries to escape, stop immediately.
4. Scritch her bum.
5. She likes to play from a distance...i.e. from under or on top of something.
6. Verbally acknowledge her when she 'bitches'. Ask her "what?" or "what's your problem?"
then check her food.
7. Give her kisses.
8. Continue talking to her lots.
*KITTY IS NOT A TOY*
Ask not what Kitty can do for you but what you can do for your Kitty.

These are some of the instructions that TwinB has left for TwinA to ensure good treatment of Violet while she's back here for the next 2-3 months but somehow 'A wasn't aware that 'B had made the decision to come home even though she'd been complaining to me about 'B's increasing Scatterbrain status.
TwinB was absent when her sister found the list so her first thought was that she was holding a very oblique yet practical suicide note.
Fortunately I phoned shortly following this and clarified the situation, so we're all on the same page now.
