Pirate Cat's new avatar?

[buzzard]

Hmmmm. I've never seen a cat do that. Dogs, yes. (Especially to cats). My cats like to lick ears.

But anyway, I meant a sense of dignity, not necessarily actual dignity. That is, the cats thinks they are.

I mean, dress up a dog and they don't really care one way or the other as long as it's not too tight or in the way. But you do that to a cat, and they are mortally offended. Like "How dare you do that to me!"

Not my dog. You put anything approximating clothing on her, and she will go into a frenzy removing it. I used to have a costume for her to use at my Haloween party. It would remain on for well under a minute. A 105 pound dog removing a costume in a frenzy is a sight to behold.

That's fundamentally disturbing.

It hurts oh so good.

I don't think any creature that licks the butts of other creatures of the same type can be considered to have dignity. And yes, I suppose this could include some Humans.

Cats only lick their own butts.

maybe, but after that they cough up the hair ball, yuck.
i think cats feel they have to act arrogently, after all that why so many people think cats are smart when ,lets face it, thay are far from it. every now and then one might be but most are just stupid.

It isn't that cats are arrogant. We humans have this odd thought that we are the bosses of everything, and all other living critters should recognize that fact instinctively and wholeheartedly. That's arrogance on the human's part, not the cat's.

Cats have a fundamentally different ingrained social structure than humans do. Failure to step outside of that is again, not arrogance on the cat's part. It is just nature. Expecting the cat to fall into line with us is arrogance on our part.

Don't they lick their kittens?

Then apparently, my cats are special. Woohoo!

"Special" isn't always a good thing.

I know. Like the 'special' short school bus.
