Pretty amazing how much we don't see that's right in front of us.

My cat loves chasing the vacuum cleaner. If anything makes noise...including the band saw....she wants to be out there to investigate. She is fearless....except for the carrier which means "vet day."

Then, digging her out from under the bed is an hour long process.

Right on her fur. She loved it. Like an industrial strength massage.

...my sister-in-law, who for some reason got a dog who likes to eat small dogs, rabbits, squirrels and, um, cats, I had to grab her from under the bed where she'd been hiding for days since she was terrified of a new place. (Cat eating dogs will make you paranoid, even if you have a brain the size of a walnut.)

She seems to have gotten over being grabbed though. She's up on my bed purring like a maniac, so loudly I can't sleep, and am down here posting on the internet about cats.

But she is a nice person. Even lacking much of a brain, I may have been ungenerous in saying she might have voted for Trump.

Nice people don't vote for mindless racists.

My cat's never fed me multiple times a day (although I've had cats that occasionally brought me "treats," like a serial killer).
My cat's never promised me free health care for life -- and delivered.

Yet this guy think that CATS are the dumb ones in the human-kitty relationship? This idiot should trade in his astrology degree and learn some science-ing stuff.

(Twelve years ago I woke up allergic to my own cat. Went to bed cuddly, pet him in the morning, went into anaphylactic shock, had to go to the ER. Never been able to touch a cat or be in the room with one for more than a few minutes ever since)
