    \n
  1. I have had my cat spayed or neutered.<\/li>\n
  2. I never leave my cat outside unattended. (Give yourself two points if you have provided your feline friend with a catio<\/a>.)<\/li>\n
  3. I always keep the litterbox impeccably clean.<\/li>\n
  4. I always serve meals on time.<\/li>\n
  5. I keep a cat carrier and my veterinarian\u2019s number handy.<\/li>\n
  6. I know the signs of painful, life-threatening urinary tract infections and that if I see them, it\u2019s vital that I get my cat to the vet immediately.<\/li>\n
  7. My cat can see out of at least one window without being a contortionist.<\/li>\n
  8. I take time to play with my cat every day, even when I\u2019m busy.<\/li>\n
  9. I always remember to bring home a present for my cat, even if it\u2019s as small and inexpensive as a paper bag, a leaf, or a pinecone.<\/li>\n
  10. I would never give my cat aspirin or Tylenol. (Just one Tylenol can kill a cat.)<\/li>\n
  11. I never allow anyone to smoke in the vicinity of my cat\u2019s sensitive nose, throat, and lungs.<\/li>\n
  12. I never make loud or startling noises when my cat is trying to rest.<\/li>\n

  16. My cat is microchipped and always wears a detachable, break-away collar with a current address tag.<\/li>\n
  17. I would never be so barbaric as to declaw my cat. (If your cat came to you declawed, you still score a point if you were horrified.)<\/li>\n
  18. I never board my cat when I go on vacation and instead arrange for a reliable pet-sitter who has passed a thorough background check. (Give yourself two points if you never go on vacation!)<\/li>\n
  19. I never allow the veterinarian to keep my cat overnight\u2014unless my cat is at an emergency clinic or animal hospital where animals are attended to all night.<\/li>\n
  20. I would never fly my cat in the cargo hold of a plane.<\/li>\n
  21. I never hit or raise my voice at my cat.<\/li>\n
  22. I never throw or push my cat off the bed or any other furniture\u2014but I would throw or push off anyone who did!<\/li>\n

      \n
    1. I give my cat fresh water and scrub all their bowls (or put them in the dishwasher) at least once a day, even if my own dishes pile up in the sink.<\/li>\n
    2. I never forget to say goodbye when I leave or to announce myself when I get back home.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
