Nobody’s cat is as graceful as they think. We’ve all seen nature documentaries and turned toward our cat, wondering how a majestic leopard that can leap from an acacia tree and skillfully take down a gazelle evolved into such a pathetic, tuna-loving Garfield. While we love our kitties, it’s sometimes a miracle that these little pea-brained floof machines could have ever survived on their own. Many cats will cry and paw at the bathroom door when left alone for 3 minutes, while other felines (the independent types) will spend their days hootin’ and hollerin’ at their owners for an extra morsel of Fancy Feast.
Alas, purrhaps our kitties are descendants of the elegant felines of the wilderness, but it’s the single-brain-celled whisker boy sitting on your lap, purring with more gusto than a vibrating Nokia phone, that stole your heart. Our house cats were never meant to do much more than beg for attention and hiss at the dog, but one task that every cat takes very, very seriously is being the best cuddle buddy known to humankind—and that’s an evolutionary miracle.
