As the owner of a cat, I am going against tradition but I’ll say it: they really aren’t all that bright.
"..dumb sh*t better head for the plastic containers from now on"
As the staff of (down to currently) fifteen cats, and having had over the 34 (almost) years we’ve been married as many cats as years of marriage we can say we’ve had some pretty smart cats, and some pretty stupid ones. They come in all “brainwork” categories.
We prefer working for the more intelligent ones that truly understand, and appreciate our efforts.
