Cats… the most devious, manipulative and persuasive creatures alive. Their determination to catch that red laser is admirable. They can weave their way around your feet until you have no choice but to feed them of risk breaking your neck. They threaten to knock all glass baubles and knick-knacks off their respective shelves unless you do everything they ask and how do they ask? With a pleasing look and loud meows that leave no room for argument. We clean their hair off the furniture for them to lay down there as soon as we’ve finished. The little assassins already have daggers! If only they had thumbs… they would have ultimate power over the world.
