Don't let your human put silly things on your head and take photos (Fig 1). Don't let them make you look silly at all. This is most likely to occur in the following situations:
1. While sleeping (Fig 2); As a precaution ensure that at least 30 % of brain function while snoozing is on-call, to circumnavigate sneaky human behaviour (i.e. sleep with one eye open if required).
2. Treat induced play (Fig 3); Resist the urge to do silly tricks or wear silly costumes for treats. If the urge is too strong, at least ensure the treat is classed as High Value (i.e. moist, meaty treats are best).
If caught in a compromising situation, assume an unimpressed expression (Fig. 4).
Lastly: Always weigh up the pros and cons of the situation. Sometimes a small indiscretion may result in a huge payout (e.g. birthday hats may result in a special birthday dinner, or toys). As long as there is no or limited photo evidence, this can be tolerated.

Figure One: Asst/Prof. Sylvie models an example of silly behaviour with a hat placed on her head by her human.
Figure Two: Asst/Prof. Sylvie demonstrates what may happen if you fall asleep and don't preserve some brain function towards eliminating sneaky human behaviour - tap/pipe on head.
Figure Three: Asst/Prof. Sylvie demonstrates what may happen if you succumb to treat induced play.
Figure Three: Asst/Prof. Sylvie demonstrates the correct 'unimpressed' facial expression when a silly apparatus is placed on her body. Cats do not need to partake in festive holidays or moods, unless they benefit directly (i.e. presents).
