Fun!

[ellakite]

Yes... but is it any good?

Yes, it is very good.

Thanks.

I just don't feel like I brought my "A-Game" this week, so I'm more worried than usual about staying in the competition.

My husband likes to joke that cats must have domesticated themselves as soon as someone managed to pet them. In any area beset by mice and rats, there is a lot of mutual benefit to be had.

Plus, the purring...

I've heard two counter-claims regarding the domestication of cats:

(A) Most cats are not completely domesticated... which is why they tend to do as they please and rarely can be "trained".

(B) Cats see humans as *THEIR* pets. Think about it: Most cats spend their days doing whatever they please, while the humans pet them, feed them, clean up after them, etc. WHO OWNS WHO IN SUCH A RELATIONSHIP?

It really depends upon the personality of the cat, I think. We've had two really sweet ones who acted as if we were their parents, and two others (one a hilarious bruiser, the other the current spoiled princess) who think they are the alpha being in the house. Those last two are definitely of type "B," but the first sure weren't!

Haha, such a fun take on the cat mythos!

Interesting! I liked it. My mom has had a few cats over the years and it's interesting to see how the personalities differ. There's one that I think would make a great house cat (she's more of a barn cat -- on a farm), but she's a serial killer :)
