WOT: Cats Options

Why?

[Katmanken]

One main reason that I like cats is their uncanny ability to detect BS.

That ability lets them immediately sense whether a person is good or bad, a liar or cheat, and whether that person is worth the cat's time. More than a few people I have known have failed the "cat test" and later events proved the cat 100% right.

As per that statement of
"Cats are cool, if you don't mind that the first sign of fire or trouble and their gone"

I beg to differ. One time I was in my front yard with my cat lounging around, and a large dog spotted me, ran into my yard growling and bearing his teeth at me in attack mode. That cat jumped up from somewhere, ran between me and the dog, and proceeded to puff up and howl. That gave me time to pick up the shovel, look the dog in the eyes and move at him with the distinct intent to sever parts of his anatomy with that shovel blade. The dog realized I was more serious and dangerous than he was, and backed off. The owner who was walking that vicious dog ran up and started yelling at me. I gave him one chance to get that mutt off my property, or he was getting him back in pieces. He was more than a little resentful to my suggestion his dog should be kept chained in his yard. But I pointed out the dog's attack behavior, and the cost of a lawsuit should that mutt ever decide to savage somebody- like me who could fight back, or even worse, a child who couldn't.

So if you are worth it, the cat will fight for you.
