it just occurred to me that cats are basically pet monsters
- go bump in the night
- scratches at your door
- alarming noises
- “where are you, kitty?” looks under bed to see a pair of luminous eyes staring out of the gloom, unblinking. “oh there you are!”
- you spot movement out of the corner of your eye, but when you turn to look you see nothing
- turn back and THERE IT IS
- one of nature’s most efficient killing machines
- will prove this by bringing you corpses
- every single game they play is just a variant of ‘kill the thing’
- cuter than our own babies
- instantly 5x more terrifying when they have thumbs
I dunno, Cricket mostly uses HIS thumbs to try to open the bathroom door when somebody CLOSED A DOOR and refuses to open it depsite the fact he’s yelling at them. Or to pick up his jingly ball.
THAT YOU KNOW OF.
