How dare they accuse my beloved fur covered chunks of porkfat.LOL!!!!!!!Time to hire the right attorney, and show them who's boss.LMAO!!!!!!The right attorney will meow his or her way in the courtroom to a convincing judge, and jury. The feline association will be notified about this story.. Hey Martin, where are you? I have an electric safety heater for the outdoor cats. The heater is a sealed unit using mineral oil for circulating heat.The cats have knocked it over on it's side shutting it off. Nice safety feature eh?

So, in other words....humans are blamed for starting over 100 house fires in South Korea for not taking cats into account when designing things. Typical of us humans to blame our feline overlords for our own problems.

Even if true, cats did not have to take advantage of the design flaw to wreak mayhem and destruction.

Like their sneaky trap of waiting to trip us (and make us plunge to our deaths) on the stairs at night, or their supposedly cute kneading of our bodies, which is actually an evil probing for internal weaknesses, many cats are obviously psychotic would-be killers, bringing us dead animals as a warning of what might happen to us if we don't toe the line.....

Precisely! Strange that given all the high tech appliances in the UK, US and elsewhere in the world, we hear of no cat pyromaniacs turning on cookers. Either the story is doggy propaganda or the cookers in south Korea are designed by imbeciles. 

I will mention this to the feline high council next time I'm in attendance. But I tell you, our feline gods and goddesses wont be happy about this accusation.

Oh dear, yet another human that has not a clue of what really goes on in the world of out wonderous felines. 

1. Tripping us up: Designed to improve our reflexes so that one day we will be catlike too. 

2. Kneading of out bodies: No, no, no! Nothing to do with probing for weaknesses. This is actually a form of acupuncture. Its called MPRA. Multi Point Repetitive Acupuncture.  Just your friendly feline trying to improve your health free of change. Notice how they purr while doing it? That's because the purr is at a frequency that heals the body. See below...

 

 

Quote

 

Purring releases endorphins in cats, and it can do the same thing in humans, too. Lowered stress hormones are helpful for healing, lowering blood pressure, and helping people cope with illness, too.

Cat purring has been shown to fall between 25 and 140 Hz. The same frequency has been shown to aid in the healing of broken bones, joint and tendon repair, and wound healing. Cats are well-known for their ability to heal quickly from their own broken bones, and the incidences of joint problems and bone cancer in cats are low. It's possible that cat purrs can help humans heal faster, too.

3. Bringing us dead animals as a warning of what might happen to us if we don't toe the line: Negative! They are trying to teach us to hunt so that we no longer consume unhealthy processed meat. 

I will not report your blasphemy against feline wondrousness this time. But next time, you will feel the full wrath of the feline high council.

Dogs lick us because they love us.  Cats lick us because they're evaluating us as a food source.

I warned Socks several times that if I keeled over in the house, he was not to eat me until he was sure I was dead...

No guarantees with dogs, though.

They are your bestest friends in life, but when they think you are gone.... Well, they are a bit impatient about food, so don't be surprised if they immediately grab a knife and start looking for the choicest cuts.....

Speaking of cats starting fires...I'm sure I expunged the story of my sister's Siamese cat barfing down the back of a nice, warm portable color TV set and causing sparks to fly!

Cats solicitous attempt to replace your worn Dr Scholl's pads with something equally soft and squishy....
