Comfort Has Standards
Smug Cat
He samples the fish, surveys the leather, and withholds all praise.
Terms Of Comfortable Living
Leave Golden Fish Nearly Whole
Take one corner only; abundance should remain obvious to visitors.
Squint Before Giving Any Answer
Certainty improves when both eyes remain almost completely closed.
Sit Beside Only Good Leather
Soft seats confirm the standard you expected upon entering.
Accept All Praise Very Slowly
Immediate gratitude makes ordinary admiration seem far too important.
Always Leave Exactly One Bite
An unfinished snack proves abundance without requiring any further explanation.
