Cats and Guns

Jun 20th, 2010 by

My cat is intermittently fascinated by my gun vault. Anyone else ever seen or heard of this? She doesn’t seem to care about the guns that much, but the vault will be an intense source of fascination every now and then. I have caught her swatting at the buttons on top that open it, but I am pretty sure she does not know the combination. This has worried me enough that I did upgrade her cat food, though the wife pointed out that without thumbs, she is unlikely to constitute a real threat. I googled and all I found was cat pictures.

    Cats for some reason have a “secret hide out” gene. They just like places to hide in, or sit in. However, as one who owned several cats, know this. Your cat regards you at best, as a slight disappointment. Sleep with one eye open.

    ” . . . without thumbs, she is unlikely to constitute a real threat.”

    Bwah ha ha . . . well, that’s going to be found scratched at the base of the tilted and partially submerged Statue of Liberty one of these millennia, as the final ironic cry of a now-extinct primate. I for one welcome our new feline overlords.

    Steve, number one rule about cats, fascination. They’re fascinating because they’re fascinated, especially when they sense we are.

    Your cat is just trying to figure out what that pistolever and friends have that’s so allfired interesting to you.

    ISTR reading somewhere (SciAm?) that unlike other animals, cats were never fully domesticated by humans. Rather, they started hanging around us ‘cuz our houses & the like were good sources of mice; and we kept them around for much the same reason.

    “Babylon 5″, my favorite TV show, has several amusing cat references.
