Dave's Favorite Military Alert System

Dave, a worldly cat, has thoughts on many subjects, ranging from the most lighthearted to the most serious. One serious topic that Dave ponders with great concern is military readiness. This is a serious matter for Dave not only because of the potential ramifications of global conflict, but also because Dave cares very much about the safety of his own home. He considers it his gravest responsibility to protect his home from any potential threats.

His preferred system of military alertness is DAFECON.

Squirreling Around

Dave is a rambunctious fellow. Sometimes he gets antsy and starts running all around the place with reckless abandon. He will knock things over, on purpose or obliviously. He will leap onto the top of the couch only to scurry back to the floor and on to the next room. He jives from place to place like he doesn't know where he wants to go. 

Sometimes he will lay on the floor of the kitchen like you can see here, and squirrel around. He will reach out to grab passersby, open cabinets, or ask for a belly rub. You have to be ready for this type of thing if you are going to live in Dave's residence. 

Belly Rub Time

Dave is a cat with many passions: food, naps, exploring, guarding the home, head rubs, traveling the world, eating food, and many others. One thing that Dave is not too crazy about is having his belly rubbed. 

When someone rubs Dave's belly, sometimes Dave likes it, sometimes he merely allows it, and sometimes he lashes out against the person responsible for the ill-fated attempt to rub his belly. 

The third category of potential outcomes has led to a system wherein potential belly-rubbers know they shouldn't use their hands to rub Dave's belly. A socked foot, however, is the perfect belly-rub tool, protecting the belly-rubber from any explosive response from Dave. 

GREAT WHITE DAVE

Dave is an impressive animal. He has powerful loins, a great sense of smell, and he pursues his goals with reckless abandon. Dave can use his powers to achieve great things, but he can also use them violently. Despite presently enjoying a quiet domestic life, Dave still retains some of his outdoor instincts. This can lead to scenarios where Dave mistakes something innocuous, such as a human foot, for something more sinister. Scenarios like this often result in sudden appearances of GREAT WHITE DAVE.
