Cats would kill us if they could

[rockydem]

If cats were twenty feet tall, they would treat us like mice, and kill us, without hesitation - right?

I like cats, but it's just the truth.

1. Size does matter

[enigmatic]

2. My cat plots all the time..

You don't think I know where those selectively placed kitty kaka piles I always seem to step in when I refuse to feed my kitty my dinner comes from?

4. have you noticed

when they barf they always back up the length of a human foot? :o

[enigmatic]

5. Yes!

I swear the kitty smirks at me everytime I step in them, too..

6. I remember once getting paged at 0300

first I banged my shin into the coffee table, then I stepped in cold kitty puke which squished between my toes. I remember having to call the number on the pager and talk to them with my foot in the sink. :o

3. yes

then they would play with us wondering why we don't move anymore

7. But they are not 20 feet tall.

They have been deliberately bred to be small and cuddly.

It's important to deal with the real.

Also, and this is an important point in case you are feeling some anxiety in the matter, cats will not consider something food unless their mother tells them it's food. That's why many cats will catch and kill mice, but not eat them. They see them as fun toys, perhaps food for YOU, but not food for them since Mommy didn't feed them any.

8. Nice Theory

Have you ever let them get hungry enough to see if it holds ?

[unblock]

9. yeah, as if dogs wouldn't kill us if they were our size?

oh, wait, some dogs ARE our size and some dogs DO kill us.

cats wouldn't kill us until they figured out how to open the tuna themselves, and even then you'd have to do something to really piss them off, like not change the kitty litter for weeks.

dogs, on the other hand, would kill us for one of those like snacky snacks.

10. Sometimes they try

I had a neighbour with a very disturbed cat. I had never done anything to the critter, and am quite fond of cats. But when I was playing backgammon with my neighbour, her cat repeatedly jumped at me, hissing and clawing me. We had to lock it into another room every time I came to visit.

I also remember the story of an old man I knew as a kid, who lived in a very lonely house in the middle of the woods. He nearly got a heart attack when one dark night his huge tomcat climbed in through the bedroom window and jumped right on his chest.
