Yay, fellow cats... I have just had an email suggesting my book, A Cat's Guide to Humans, may be chosen by a Washington DC book club. At last, at long last, my effort at understanding humans may be taking off.
As we cats know, humans are a strange species, misleadingly known as Homo sapiens. "Sapiens" is Latin for "wise."
Which they are not.
Just to run through a few examples. Humans use alcohol and drugs and get hopelessly drunk and high. We use
catnip and after a little high of ten minutes get sensible again.
Humans don't have any fur. They have to cover their nakedness with artificial substitutes for fur. Our fur is one of the glories of being feline. We wear it all the time: we don't have to take it off or put it on.
Humans have kittens that are so slow to learn that they cannot walk for months and months. Our kittens are walking well after about four weeks.
Humans cannot purr. We can.
However humans, when they are properly trained, are very useful round the house. They make excellent servants - they feed us, provide laps, and warm radiators.
They are not bad: just very limited and of low IQ.
