Question #3

Why in the fuck do cats eat earwax?

Some of you may not even know that they do, but yeah, grossly enough, cats loooooove the earwax.  Why?

Here's the first big reason.  A human tongue has 10,000 tastebuds, and a cats has 500.  So to begin with, cat's delicate palate isn't quite as discerning as a human's, hence why they'll eat brands of cat food

Very interesting, but this does not answer the question of why a cat will turn its nose up at certain kinds of cat food, but will always find endless hours of pleasure licking its own ass. One can't possibly taste much better than the other, so why discriminate at all?

Although I suppose if taste isn't as much a factor, you could always consider the cheap thrill of getting an ass-licking. Hey, look, I answered my own question!

Come on... you are completely forgetting how much cats love to be bitchy snobs. I think my cat figures out once every two months that I'm buying the same brand and thinks to herself... "Hmm. How can I fuck with her brain just a little bit more?"

A cat's attitude is the biggest part of being a cat, even more than its sense of smell.

While I will acknowledge that a cat's attitude is intrinsic to its cat-ness, I refuse to buy into the snobbery of any living thing that uses its own tongue for toilet paper.
