Dog: "You feed, me, pet me, take care of me: you must be God."

Cat: "You feed me, pet me, take care of me: I must be God."

Actually, I was half serious. These ancient cats may have been originally kept as a food source.

Fascinating. They buried Sylvester, and left me with Felis Domestic Cuss.

Today, more than 30 percent of American homes host a cat.

But most of us 30% have enough to make up for those who are not enlightened enough to be properly owned.

The cat's bones were placed carefully, parallel to the human, and showed no signs of butchering, another indication that the animal may have been a pet

They don't recognize Royalty when they see it. The cat died, and naturally they had to bury a peasant with it, to continue caring for it in the Afterlife. It is only its due.

The 70% of home dwellers who don't keep a feline companion don't know what they're missing! Cats are real live teddy bears.
