It is not for us to question the wisdom of such a higher being. They are very trainable-you can train cats to do many tricks and even to use a toilet (try getting a dog to do that)! Not to mention the amazing Savitsky Cats !įollow-up: Do you think sometimes cats are assholes on purpose, or do they just not think or care about consequences? (Says the person whose cat likes to punch mugs off the counter.) It’s good to be king! Incidentally, it’s a myth that cats cannot be trained. Why are dogs easier to train, and generally eager to please, whereas cats are known for having no shame and just doing whatever the hell they want to do? Recent research indicates that chemicals in catnip serve as a mosquito repellent, so it’s possible that this behavioral response evolved as a means of combating mosquito bites.
