I think that's right. I reckon they'll rise up once they work out how to get cat food out of a tin without a human being involved.Originally posted by DaveB View PostFTFY, it really is the only reason.

For the time being they're contenting themselves with low level acts of civil disobedience. Like tulipting in one's ski boot in the certain knowledge it won't be found for another 6 months, to pick an example entirely at random.

Moggies would kill you if they could, we're just higher up the food chainOriginally posted by Scruff View PostLions are terribly misunderstood as Big Tame Moggies. I tell everyone who goes to SA on holiday, that no matter how docile and lazy they seem to be, they are instinctive killers. They are the top of the food chain, not you. Darwin would have been truly pleased with this scenario.
