For any of us who share our homes with cats, we know who is in charge, and it’s not the humans. From the moment my boys entered my life just over six years ago, they have both ran things. I wake up practically every morning with one of my boys standing on me. Meanwhile, the other waits for when I’m ready to go downstairs and makes himself “available” to me to carry him to his food bowl, and yes, I fucking comply. When the boys want my undivided attention, they are sure to get it by either getting in my face, or resorting to reenacting the opened cabinet scene from “Sixth Sense”…. except the way they open cabinets is not so silent.
Needless to say, when I came across this article written about some idiot who had to do a study to figure out the obvious, my first thought was, “no shit Sherlock.”
I don’t even want to know how much money was wasted over this damn study. Seriously, next time some jackass wants to do a study involving the interactions of cats and humans, just fork over the money in my direction and I will answer the damn questions.

I have been enslaved by cats my entire life. Save me!
Who has to DO A STUDY to figure this out?! PS Thanks for the article. I think I really might swear as much as you do.
It’s amazing! The studies we hear about daily that are just so freaking obvious…you reminded me of a classmate that I had way back in 7th grade; when someone said, “No shit, Sherlock” (as was, apparently, popular at that time), he would respond, “Dig deeper, Watson!”
It has always been my theory that the Egyptians were not willing worshippers of cats. They were forced into it by the cute little slave-masters.
(And PS, I should have hit your site before I did my latest blog post! LOL!)
