Around here we honor the adage that dogs have masters; cats have staff. I know who runs this house. I am the alpha dog, but the Greek alphabet doesn’t allow for my position with the cats. Indentured slave? If I sleep much past 5:30 in the morning (something I really like to do…) the bed starts filling with cats. They use a rotation schedule, and are very organized. The heavier cats will lay on my chest until I can’t breathe. The smaller ones will cuddle ever so sweetly, then dig in with their sharpest nails. The cutest of the lot is little Hannah, who likes to lick noses. Try sleeping through that. And my dogs? They’re useless! You’d think they would rescue the hands that feed them, but no! I think they are enjoying the comedy. It’s like “Whose fe-line is it anyway” around here. No rest for the weary.
A cat is an attitude wrapped in fur that it sheds all over the place.
I don’t know why people give cats names. They never come when you call them … unless you can make a noise like an electric can opener.
Did you ever notice that a cat will suddenly jump up from a sound sleep, dash into another room, curl up and go back to sleep? That’s because where a cat sleeps is of cosmic importance. If you were to plot the position of every sleeping cat on the planet and connect the dots, you would have the plans for a faster-than-light, perpetual-motion machine … or an air-conditioned litter box. I haven’t figured out which yet.
Door: an object which the cat perpetually wants to be on the other side of.
Cats will also stare at blank walls. That’s because they are looking at things that were there in the past or will be there in the future. I once got down next to my cat and stared. She looked at me as much to say, “Get your own wall, stupid biped!”
Cats are actually probe droids from another dimension. Purring is telemetry back to the mother ship.

All the cat food I’ve bought in the past few years has pull-tops.
