I believe a smartass wrote these instructions
I bought my new kittens a scratcher this weekend. I get it home and the instructions on the back read:
"...place the scratcher near your cat's favorite scratching spot and demonstrate its use by crawling on your hands and knees and scratching it like a cat. IMPORTANT: Cats learn by imitation, so, to be effective, your theatrical performance must be convincing."
No, I did not take drama in h-s or college. I don't know how to be theatrical.
No, I did not humiliate myself in front of the babies.
Yes, they are using the scratcher anyway.

1. I wonder if the litter box came with similar instructions to demonstrate
how to use it.

3. Don't you know they were rolling on the floor
writing those instructions thinking about the people that would actually do it?!
