An absence of pretence

One cannot help but look upon the feline outlook with some envy. Not for them the awkward social constructs necessitated by human society. If they think little of you they are happy to express it. I am sat typing & it is abundantly clear from the expression on my cat's face that as far as he is concerned I am the last bastion of an evolutionary dead end that should be curtailed as soon as possible. Thank goodness he needs to be fed every now and again or I wouldn't rate my survival chances too highly! Occasionally I feel that we should be more feline in openly expressing our views on the merits of others, perhaps that way as a society we wouldn't have supported the inexplicable emergence of 'talents' that have dominated tabloid headlines down the years. Then again who else could we have sat at home and wondered in our own smugly feline way if they weren't just the sort of evolutionary dead ends the cat judges me to be?
