Dusty: I will work on anger management. I will try not to be so belligerent toward those annoying overweight white neighborhood cats that eat out of my food bowl. After all, Mom puts enough food in the bowl for all of us and the least I can do is be gracious about sharing with them (though heaven knows they don't need to be eating my food).
Lily: I will try to curtail my impulse to scratch the sofa and will only scratch my scratching post. Mom has warned me that we are getting a new sofa and chair in the near future and that my current behavior will not be tolerated. She yells at me now, but has warned me that the cursed spray bottle is coming back out. I should work on this now so I am ready when the new furniture comes.
In addition, I will remember not to jump up on Mom's work table while she is working. She keeps reminding me of this, yet I seem to forget about once a week or so.
Misty: I will try to work on impulse control. When I see blonde hair against a pillow, I get this irresistible urge to pull on it. However, this wakes Mom up at ungodly hours and then she is cranky. I also vow to stop getting under the bedspread and scratching that one area of the mattress that I like so much.
I would like to say that I will work on my obsessive behavior with regard to complaining loudly when my food bowl is only half empty and there is still plenty of food to eat. However, I think this one is beyond my control and that I need professional help. Since Mom doesn't know any good animal psychologists, this behavior probably won't change.
