Well, it didn't take long for the jackasses to arrive. I wonder when they were first domesticated?
To: Redcloak
Plus, you need to find some new material. You're about as clever as Al Franken.

So the question remains: After all these thousands of years, do cats still look down at us because they're too stupid to figure out a good thing, or because they've figured out the "good thing" is stupid?
To: BenLurkin; Tabi Katz
Here's another cat loving bump. I do love cats, very much. As my brother once said, God made them for decoration. But they are also excellent rodent controllers.

I think they've figured out that we're stupid enough to give them a good thing while they look down on us. :)
Love cats bump!

In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods.
Cats have never forgotten this. :)

Today, more than 30 percent of American homes host a cat. I note that the author was wise enough to say "host" instead of "own".
To: Ichneumon
We "host" three cats in our home.
These are not them.

"I think that human beings rapidly understood that they could use cats for reducing the number of mice." I cat thought this was funny. She says the truth is that cats rapidly understood that they could use humans to open cans.
Don't believe her? Ask yourself whether you open more cans than your cat catches mice.

One of our kitties is the prissiest cat you'll ever meet. Her name is Harley, but we call her Miss Priss.
She will only eat Friskies canned food, in gravy, at room temp.
Friskies Dinner? No.
Cold Friskies? No.
Dry food? Surely you jest!
Only moist Friskies room temp in gravy will do!!
Stupid priss cat of the world...

My last girlfriend moved out and left her cat. I couldn't remember the cat's name so I started calling her "kitty", so she started calling me "waiter".

7500 BC? Seems unlikely. If you don't have milk cows, or stores of grain, what good are you to a cat?
OTOH maybe agriculture goes back that far. If it does, I'm sure the cats promptly noticed.
Bet the dogs were sore about that...
