Cats are cool bump >>>>>>>

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?

[Ichneumon]

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".

"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.

Felis silvestris

[Graymatter]

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...

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."

We're ancient!!

[ApplegateRanch]

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.
