Comment on Cats Adore, Manipulate Women

Comments

Cats are tiny hackers: curious, nocturnal, not fans of authority. The one purring on my lap right now has figured out how to open every door that it's physically possible for her to, and has trained me to throw rubber dice down the hall on demand so she can chase them.

That's just the first step in the process. Next step is for her to throw rubber dice down the hall and train you to chase them ;-)

The final step is to get him to both throw and chase the rubber dice by himself, with occasional side-trips to open tins of tuna.

My friend's cat managed to open an apartment style fridge, correctly identify a package of hot dog weiners, tear the package open and eat all 12 weiners. After that he didn't come out from under the bed for three days.

... I'm trying not to think what else the cat left under the bed after three days.
