Do Cats Pretend They Are People?
Do cats pretend they are people? Consider Anya. She is a half-Siamese
kitty who is full-grown, and just less than a year old. When her owner steps out of the shower and turns off the water, she steps into the wet bathtub, shakes her feet a little bit, and then just sits there facing the showerhead for about five minutes. What is she thinking? When Anya's owners ask her to "do a summersault," she usually complies. She will tip her head down to the rug, and then roll over. She seems to like to please her owner. One day her owner was fooling around with 360 degree pirouettes, like dancers do. Anya saw that, and then turned around exactly 360 degrees two separate times within a few minutes. - from the Cats section of www.odd-info.com |

Heavens, no!!
In the beginning, God created man, but seeing him so feeble, He gave him the cat. - Warren Eckstein "Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain Notebook, 1894 "There are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats." - Albert Schweitzer "With the qualities of cleanliness, affection, patience, dignity, and courage that cats have, how many of us, I ask you, would be capable of becoming cats?" - Fernand Mery "As anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows cats have enormous patience with the limitations of the human kind." - Cleveland Amory "javawizard" wrote in message ...

Clearly you've never lived closely with a cat! *(A cat's reasoning powers often appear to exceed those of some people - including yours, evidently.) You've just posted this tidbit to six different groups simulanteously. If you don't read the other five, and aren't interested in inviting the posters from them to rpca, you can delete all groups except this one. Or you can ignore them. Sherry |

Sherry one of the reasons I like Forte as a reader is that the default setting alerts you when you're about to cross post to several groups. Course that may be true of most news readers. I suppose the main reason I use forte is that it's the one I started out with and have been using to years -- Steve Touchstone Little Bit, Sammy, Spotty, Princess, Furby and Rocky (RB) Pix at http://tinyurl.com/22pfn8 Vids at http://tinyurl.com/4yb6nj |
