Let's take a bath together


Dexter told Delilah that he was feeling a bit dirty and he thought she was too. Perhaps they should take a bath together. Delilah was delighted with the idea.

Dexter forgot to tell Delilah the video camera was running. The nerve of him!

Dance like there's no one watching


Dexter told Delilah to let loose and learn to dance the Funky Chicken. She was shy at first, but Dexter told her to just forget her inhibitions and feel the music. He taught her the moves, she was a quick learner and soon she was dancing around the family room like a mad cat.

Dexter told her she was brilliant, but he still believes she could improve.

Wiggle when you walk


Dexter told Delilah that she should learn to wiggle when she walks. It gives you a certain flair or je ne sais quoi. It makes you look like you have confidence and aren't afraid of anything. He has noticed that Delilah walks sideways like she is trying to walk in two directions at once. This makes her look afraid. He is coaching her on how to change her walk.

Dexter admits that he has to wiggle when he walks because his tummy gets in the way. His Mom and Dad are working on correcting this, but in the meantime, he will use it to his advantage.

Always help to fold the sheets

Dexter told Delilah that she should always help Mom fold the sheets. The king size sheets for the big bed are very difficult for one person to fold alone. So Mom always needs to lay them on the floor. He told Delilah that Mom always appreciates it when he helps her. He is sure that by rolling around and chasing imaginary critters in the fitted corners helps to flatten the sheet so that it can be folded more easily.
Dexter told Delilah that the fun starts even before Mom starts to fold. When she piles the warm sheets from the dryer on the chair, it's really cool to jump onto the chair and burrow under the warm sheets. No one knows that you are under there. It is so private like being in a cave.

Do you know where your tail is?

Dexter told Delilah that she should remember to check her tail when she hides to make sure it isn't exposed and giving away her hiding spot He explained that it is a common mistake that some inexperienced felines make. They dive under furniture or into other tight spaces when they want to hide; however, they forget that just because their heads are out of sight, doesn't mean all of them is out of sight.

Dexter recommends that whenever Delilah is hiding, she take inventory to make sure all 4 paws and her tail are accounted for in the hiding place before relaxing. He even gave her a demonstration to make sure she learned this valuable lesson.

Wake me when it's dinnertime

Dexter told Delilah not to bother him. After entertaining Clemens and Johanna all week, he is absolutely exhausted and just can't keep his eyes open. He will let her know when he is ready to play again. He complained that because she kept hiding while the visitors were here, he had to do all the entertaining and it made him more tired that usual. Dexter told Delilah that next time she has to do her bit and take the pressure off of him. He told her "Wake me when it's dinnertime, please."

Try to avoid the Naughty Chair

Dexter told Delilah that she needs to be careful or she will end up in the naughty chair. He speaks from experience because he gets the naughty chair a lot. The trick is to not get caught doing the things Mom and Dad don't want you to do. It is best to do these things (like jumping on the counter) when they are not at home.

Delilah likes to chew up the newspaper which is a bit harder to get away with. Even though she can restrict her chewing to the times when they are are work, she can't hide the evidence. So for her it is best to be good and avoid the naughty chair altogether.

Don't forget to kiss me goodnight

Dexter told Delilah that he loves it when she gives him kisses and cuddles. It really warms his heart that she loves him as much as he loves her. He likes to give her kitty kisses too after they have had a long day watching rabbits, chasing each other and spider hunting.

Dexter told Delilah that they should always have a kiss and a cuddle before they go to bed each night and Delilah gave him a kiss to show that she agreed.
