Why cats are cool

A statement: It is my belief, not as a pet fanatic or a cat lover but as a petless 3rd party observer, that cats are the coolest animals to have ever walked the earth. And I hereby challenge anyone to proove me wrong. If you dare take up the challenge then I expect at least one good reason against cool-cats, and several good reasons in favour of the challenging animal. Here are some of my reasons to bolster my statement:

• The ability to jump higher than one's imagination.

• The long drawn-out flexing of the spine after a nap.

• Acute attention to personal hygiene.

• Purring, the feline equivalent to the Buddhist mantra.

• To survive falls from high places (cf Wampi for proof)

• Owning land at the brush of a whisker.

• To love all human laps regardless of gender, race and sexuality.

• Eyes that glow in the dark.

• Sleep, sleep and never grow tired of sleep.
