One here has been trying to knock stuff off the coffee table all morning.

Thankfully, 3 of them act more like dogs than cats. A fourth, I haven’t figured out since he’s half feral. The fifth is all cat where the universe revolves around His Highness.

Cat science is no laughing matter. After all these millennia they’ve finally taught us how to make laser pointers for them.

Got nothing good or bad to say about my cat other than the fact that it hasn't killed me in my sleep.

Won't let me pick her up, won't get up on my lap when in my recliner chair, begs to go out on the back deck but won't go out until I go outside first.

Willing to trade for two boxes of 9mm brass ammunition............

from your link, and heh heh... [snip] It’s also important to note that cats really suck at conflict resolution. To quote from The Domestic Cat: The Biology of its Behaviour, “Cats do not appear to develop conflict resolution strategies to the extent that more gregarious species do, so they may attempt to circumvent agonistic encounters by avoiding others or decreasing their activity.” [/snip]
