Dear George,
I need your help to understand humans and their true nature and behavior better.
You see, my mommy is a medical doctor but not a behavioural specialist and she couldn’t answer my question! She’s specialized in something very difficult to pronounce so I won’t even bother.

Anyway, sometimes she takes me to her office. She created a room for me there,
kind of a nursery. I can stay in there and watch people through a glass door –
very funny! Last week we had to take the subway twice to the office since she
took her car for a tune-up and, no, we couldn’t get a taxi which was very
frustrating!
I found the whole experience very
interesting and amusing! Amusing to observe humans when they don’t realized
that I was a hidden camera! At times was really hard not to laugh out loud!
What I came to realize was that people try really hard to copy us – yes, like
in the copycat song released last year by Billie Eilish: “Copycat trying to cop my manner….Copycat
trying to cop my glamour”.
George, humans are trying to grow whiskers! Mostly
the men! I’ve seen few elderly ladies trying really hard though! The younger
ladies are more focus on eyelashes! Guess they can’t grow anything compare to
ours so they using fake ones! So, so funny! But, my question is: why are humans
trying so hard to imitate us? What is all this about?

Dear Angelica
At last humans are beginning to see that our beauty and our lifestyle are well worth imitating. Their rather pathetic attempts at growing whiskers are a good example. Yes, the males manage a lot of hair round the lower half of their heads and (like our whiskers) the hairs are stronger than their normal head fur. But....
The whiskers don't work like ours. They don't work at all. We can move our whiskers backwards and forwards. We can detect surfaces (rough or smooth) with them. And when we swing them forward, if we have a mouse in our jaws, we can tell if the prey is struggling or limp. It's our sixth sense, almost. Watch them here.
Human whiskers can do none of these things.
Poor idiots. They do try, you know. I have written a manual entitled 100 Ways to be More like Your Cat, to help them. Anonymously, of course. It seemed to unkind to mention whiskers, so I concentrated on other lifestyle advice!
Yours
George.

You make a good point George, whiskers should be for cats only.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how good people are they will never be as gorgeous as we are and, I must admit I have excellent humans!
