I do not think it is very becoming in cats to exhibit false modesty. So, I shall get straight to the point and announce with pleasure that I have come up with the recipe for the perfect day. Here is how my day went and consequently here is my recipe for the perfect day.
1. Get a good night's sleep
I awoke from a nice long sleep through most of the night (after I completed my hunting exercises of forty sprints up and down the hall in the dark) and stretched luxuriously in my nest of exactly three different types of fuzzy blankets.
2. Stretch
After arising from my perfectly shaped nest I stretched all my limbs and arched my back for the perfect "I've just stretched and the world is my bed of catnip feeling".
3. Nap
I walked three paces from the bottom of the bed where my nest is to my human's legs and stretched out on top of her for a quick morning nap. This was only slightly interrupted when she wished to roll over in her sleep but I readjusted and we continued napping.

4. Stretch before you Dine
I awoke from my quick catnap and stretched deeply before proceeding to my breakfast.
5. Obtain affection
I made sure at least two of my three human pets were up and doing their chores and allowed them to pet me in appreciation of my beauty and perfection.
6. Nap
I napped on top of my pet's legs again til it was time for her to get up and then I demanded she start exercising for her health.
7. Tour the gardens
My estate is of a goodly size and I need to ensure it's proper maintenance and the smooth efficiency of it's running. I always check the perimeter for coyotes in case I need to call the giant blockhead dogs to act as guards again.
8. Catnap
Now that I've inspected everything and made sure my pets and employees know of any deficiencies it is time for a nice long catnap. Usually I take this in the living room atop a tower at the summit of which is a blanket nest. It is perfect for being at the center of activity should I be needed, observing things with a lazy eye when I'm half asleep and napping in the company of my beloved pets.
9. Stretch before lunch
Stretch before a quick dash up the stairs to keep nimble then dine upstairs away from the dogs and their hideous way of devouring food and leaving crumbs everywhere. They ought to have more pride in their manners.

10. Afternoon stroll
I inspected the grounds, chased lizards etc.
On the clean towels
13. Evening jaunt outside
My favorite time outside is just after the sun sets when the air has cooled off and the frogs start singing in the creek below.
14. Dine
I always make sure one of my pets touches my food to ensure it's edibility. Then I allow them to go while I eat in the casual and relaxing atmosphere of my private dining room.
15. Catnap
At this hour I sleep on the tower where I can watch with one sleepy eye while the humans finish up their nightly activities.
16. Exercise
Practice hunting
17 Go to bed.
I settle in for the night in my nest, or if convenient on my human's legs.
18 Wake up refreshed and start all over
I don't mind saying that the day really was a delectable example of perfection. Give it a try gentle feline readers and see if this recipe for a perfect day suits you equally as well. If you will excuse me it is now time for my fifth nap of the day. I am, as ever, at your service because it pleases me to be so.
