Clever People Who Got Their Way Without Technically Breaking Any Rules
Cat Discovers a Method to Get Noticed Without Violating the No-Table Rule
Since they are not permitted to stand on the table, the cat that appears to be clinging to this chair for dear life is essentially doing just that. They usually seem to leap atop the chair when everyone else is eating, thus it appears that their only objective is attention. It's a very cunning begging strategy that might work or might not.

He is Aware That His Paws Don't Belong on Screen
Because he used to constantly place his paws on the screen, this German Shepard was likely unaware of his size at one point and caused some harm. His parents made it clear that he was no longer permitted to do it for this reason, and he appears to do a pretty good job of abiding by the rule. He frequently crouchs in front of the door to ensure he gets the best look because of the no-paws policy.

Even though Roxy, the cat, isn't permitted to be on the counter when her parents are there, she somehow manages to settle down. She is well aware that the barstool is the only appropriate spot for a cat to hang out in that area. She believes that by laying just one paw on it, she may divert her parents' attention from the fact that the rest of her body is on the counter.
