Had a kitten once that climbed my bare leg while I was painting the ceiling..not funny! Instead of toss the feathers, I ended up tossing the cat the whole length of the room.
Ooo!!! Havenāt watched the movie, but cats are EVIL!!! I remember way back when, I was walking to the bus stopā¦in the early morningā¦darkā¦aloneā¦and all along the road, millions (an exaggeration, of course) of cats, just staring. Glad those days are over!!!
And, paradoxically, frequent naps in sunbeams. By the way, itās been suggested that sunbeams germinate spores that turn into catness instantiations. It would explain a lot.
Iāve had cats all my life. To me theyāre just thick, affable, lazy buggers who somehow know how to get round you. I suppose they do lead a double life in that they go out and about on occasion killing smaller vertebrates, but they aināt alone in having that trait and on the whole they contribute to human happiness. If you disagree Iāll set my tabby on you. Heās called Fig.
Okay, wise guys, letās say a strange man (who really has a thing for pink tattoos) with a metal star on his shirt put a harness and leash on you, sat you down on his lap and started to tickle your neck without asking your permission. Wouldnāt you be getting a little nervous? Maybe even try to get away?
And then when you found a moment to make your move wouldnāt you get a little hysterical if the harness came off and then you were being choked around the neck by the leash and you couldnāt get away?
And then if someone comes to help the strange man by trying to put a box over you, well, would you think things were improving? Might it occur to you at some point that these people had something weird in mind and perhaps youād better fight to kill because they were probably going to kill you?
Think about it from the animalās point of view. He was behaving as any animal would (including brave enough humans) who thought his life was in danger. He doesnāt know he is the āPet of the Weekā!
Cats, like any animal, are incapable of being evil. They just have a totally different set of priorities from humans. If you pay them a little attention, their needs are easily met, and they reward you with a cuddle and a big purr. Who could ask for more?
I often marvel at how cats and dogs manage to handle the frustration of trying to communicate with us. They donāt take up smoking or drink camomile tea or anything. They just shrug it off to human stupidity and get on with life.
Havenāt seen the video. Canāt access it at work. For the record, I am totally a cat person. Donāt include me with that other shower, Cynth.
Sounds like utter bonehead stupidity on the part of the humans. With that sort of ācontrol takes care of allā mentality (as it sounds), that lotād be better off with a dog, probably, and a big one. They usually have more of a āwhatever; hey, scratch my tummy now!ā attitude.
