Once upon a time, there was a Rumbledad.
This Rumbledad had never had a pussycat of his own. He was persuaded by the wise and wonderful Rumblemum that everything is better with a pussycat (and twice as good with two!) and so they decided to start the Rumblefamily.
Now having never had a pussycat before, Rumbledad had many goofy and irrational rules. One of these crazy rules was that there would be 'NO CATS ON THE COUNTERTOPS!!' Rumblemum heard this and laughed quietly to herself.
Time passed, and Rumbledad saw how cute pussycats were on the countertops. He decided to amend the rule to be 'Cats can ONLY be on the UPPER countertops, where there is no food preperation'. Rumblemum chuckled, but said nothing.
Then one day Rumblemum put a bag on the lower countertop. Imagine her surprise when Rumbledad SCOLDED her for putting a bag on the pussycat's spot! (which was actually the main food preparation area...)
The moral of this story? Cats will ALWAYS win (and the lesson is that nobody should listen to Rumbledad)

Yeah, apparently when the first kitty came to live here, dad said no kitty on the sofa, upstairs on the bed blah blah blah :)xx
Those rules all go to the garbage bin eventually. We have supreme rule over the houses in which we allow our humans to live!
Rules for cats are doomed to be overruled.
Having had many pets in the family, we don't have rules any more for them. No one gets upset that way.
We cats make the rules. It's humans who are expected to follow.
MOL.. I love love your story..tee..heh..Best Part ? Kitties are the boss..HA!
xoxo
Didn't the rumblemom tell the rumbledad the rools? Wiv cats .... there are NO rools! MOL!
PS: We LOVE yoor LiveStrong pic in the sidebar!
Now that is pretty funny that the Rumbledad scolded Rumblemom for putting a bag on the cats' counter area! We assume it was a bag of food?
I so know how that goes mol because dad was not a cat person until he met mum who had two and the rest is history as my dad loves me so much. Rumbles our dads are just big softies realy.. Hugs GJ xx
LOL!!! Gorgeous Rumbles!! You've trained Rumbledad well! Yay!!! Hugs too to sweet Diego and hello to wise Rumblemum! Take care
x
We love when humans are converted! They are so silly with their rules!
I might need some advices on how to persuade mum that doggies can sleep in human beds. She still finks its a problem. I haz wun dad over but mum is not so bright...
Hey, wait a minit! Why dussn't that werk fur us dogs?
Cool story!
Funny, too! ;-D
Mommy and I were enchanted with your story and this is a truly happy ever after story.
Rules..smools..made to be shown as useless and silly by we beauties of fur and purrs.
xoxox
We love that your Rumblerules we amended and now Rumbledad is sensible :-)
LOL! Yes, cats always win and take over the entire house, sooner or later. :-P
Hahaha, Rumbledad totally got sucked in by the cuteness of pussycats!
Of course, kittehs always win! And Rumbledad is obviously very smart to accept this reality.
Cats are superior to humans - we are delighted you dad saw the error of his ways!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
hehehe....those new cat people always learn the hard way - and fall the hardest. :)
yes "Cats will ALWAYS win"
When will humans EVER learn this?
My Mom has the same countertop rule tsk, tsk
That just makes us all purr. Seems Rumblemum always knew that eventually you would be able to go anywhere you like anytime you like.
The way it should be.
Purrs,
Cory and family
Our male still has not learned this lesson but we are working on it...
wats roolz? MOL!
Rumbles, that's a cute story about how Rumbledad has finally learned your rules! Our daddy hadn't ever had any animals before he met mommy so he was silly enough to think there were rules too. Now he knows better!
We think Rumblemum was very wise to let the kitties work their magic. After all, why expend effort when somebody else will do the job?
Well played, Rumblemum!
Cuteness will always win! Sadly, we're not allowed on the countertops, but that's not because our Lady isn't reasonable - it's because cats aren't allowed in our apartment and we'd be seen out the window. She has all sorts of ways to block us out of certain areas. ::sigh::
ha ha - love it! I has much the same story - D used to dislike CATS. Can you imagine. He was a d.o.g. person. Well, I'm their 4th cat in 50 years and they've only had one d.o.g.! Guess we know who rules.
Oh yes, Marmie said no cat butts on the placemats. Now she has just given up. She no longer eats at the kitchen table though.
Good job schooling your dad in the proper ways of cats. The counters and tabletops are some of our favorite places!
You are so right Rumbles, it just takes convincing some times!
Rumbles
Our pawrents learned that everything is ours and we go where we want, especially when they are not around.

Hehehe...Rumbles, when will the humans ever learn???
Your Rumbledad and my dad sound similar. We're not supposed to be on the counters, but Sammi often eats her dinner up there. We were not allowed in the bedroom and absolutely forbidden from being on the bed (he has cat allergies) bedroom, but now we sleep at the foot of the bed. Dads are softies, we just can't let them know that we know.
Your Rumblemum is very wise!
I'm sure I khould help with some khounter khorrekhting!

It's just a man thing - think they can tell the world and kitty cats what to do. Gosh they're funny. But notice how Rumblemum knew the truth all along? :) It's just like that saying says, you know, the one about men and dogs and women and cats...
Very wise advice! Love that last picture!
Your pal, Pip
P.S.: Thank you so much for your lovely post for Sweet Pea! We so appreciate your kindness and support.
You've learned so much!!
Poor Rumbledad - we are glad to hear that you have learned that there are no rulz for cats.
Us British shorthairs don't like climbing and I never get up on benches or tables. However all couches, beds and boxes are mine.

You look so very wise in that photo, Rumbles....
We feel we're lucky. #1 always knew we belong EVERYWHERE!!!!
Purrs,

Good job, Rumbles. You've trained the Rumbledad well! :)
MOL! Great job training Rumbledad!
Making sure that you made it home safely from Opus's birthday party. Thanks for stopping by and sharing in our special celebration with him.
I am thinking this might mean you can teach an ole human new tricks.
Lovely tale - and of course totally true. We always win.....
Lovely tale - and of course totally true. We always win.....
Concats on training the Rumbledad so well.
Rules for us? Hahahahahahahaha.
But seriously, I turned my Dad from a dog person to a cat person. He says he didn't know how great cats were until he had ME!
