Cats

Cats are, of course, on good. They are chiselers, panhandlers, and shameless flatterers; they are as full of schemes and plans, wiles and guiles, as an confidence man. They can read your character; they know exactly how much of the hot oil to pour on to break you down. They are definitely smarter than I am, which is one reason I love them.Cat haters will try to present you with the old argument,"If cats are so smart, why can't they do tricks, the dogs do?"It isn't that cats can't do tricks; it's that they won't. They are far too hep to stand up and beg for food when they know you'll give it to them anyway. As for rolling over,, or playing dead, or "speaking,' what can the cat gain that isn't already hers?
