If I was small enough to get zippered into a bowling bag and dumped in a lake or fit into a microwave or flung through a moving car window, I would definitely consider keeping my attitude in check. However, this is not the case with most cats. Even though they are lower on the food chain, they still seem to carry a strong sense of entitlement and contempt for me, uh... for humanity, as if it is an honor to feed and take care of them. Nuts to that! I can't think of a better reason to get them declawed and introduce them to my shoe heel ....um.....while petting them lovingly, of course.
