The Cats' Bill of Rights
1. Humans shall make no law
respecting an establishment of boundaries or prohibiting the free
exercise therein, or abridging the freedom of access, or the right
to peaceful assembly. In other words: The cat is entitled to go
outside anytime he wants.
2. A well-carried provisional
chamber, being necessary to the fulfillment of a feline's whims,
shall not be infringed. In other words: The cat is entitled to EAT
anytime he wants.
3. The right of the feline to be
secure in their domain and effects against unreasonable
discomposure, shall not be violated. In other words: The cat is
entitled to SLEEP anytime he wants.
4. Humans shall issue no warrants
or decrees or edicts as prescribed to the demarcation of
possessions or property which are in direct conflict with right of
life, liberty and the pursuit of feline affirmation. In other
words: The cat is entitled to sleep ANYWHERE he wants.
5. The feline shall be immune to
all criminal accusations, indictments and complaints. The accused
shall enjoy the right to a speedy and impartial dismissal of any
and all charges provided said feline's compulsory right to obtain
any or all witnesses, including character witnesses, are obtained
in his favor. In other words: Cats can do anything they want as
long as it's cute.
6. Neither serfdom, vassalage, or
involuntary servitude will be tolerated, except by said cats in
proprietorship of their humans. In other words: What I say goes.
(And I say feed me... Again.)
7. No Canis familiaris shall, in
time of peace or at any other time, be quartered in any dwelling
without the consent of the potentate, nor in time of war, but in a
manner to be prescribed by sovereign. In other words: No dogs in
the house without my permission.
8. The right of the feline to be
protected against unreasonable search and seizures shall not be
breached or infringed upon at anytime or any place. In other
words: Don't disturb me when I am sleeping. |
