Feline Masters

There are many reasons why I prefer cats over dogs. Many many reasons. Today’s reason is because their genius knows no limit. We have three cats, an old man and a brother and sister we adopted a year and a half ago. The young boy fancies himself the king of the jungle and regularly mauls a string I run in circles for him.

Alas, I was unavailable yesterday and his sister wanted to play too. So the young buck (heretofore known as Wolfgang) took his string in mouth, hopped up on the kitchen table, and dangled it over the side. The young lass (heretofore known as Jitterbug) then proceeded to play string with him, no humans involved.

This level of complex thought staggers me. Truly they will rule the world some day.

    Nice picture with the glowing eyes there.

    No special effects. Those are the two cats in question (jawa kitties!). They reveal their power only to the camera.

    I've come to appreciate dogs the last couple of years, but I'll always be a cat person. Even if they are evil geniuses. Last week our younger cat (heretofore known as Schrödinger) learned within ten minutes that the laser comes out if he bugs me when I'm trying to write. I may have to get a cordless mouse…

    We're having trouble with Jitterbug right now. After nearly a year of flawless behavior in the new house, she's started peeing everywhere BUT the litterbox. It's making for a very stressful environment at the moment.
