The Advantages of Living With A Human

"The main difference between cats and humans is that we, very sensibly, have paws, and they have these finger-things sticking off the end of their front legs. They are very clever with these fingers but their best use, in my opinion, is for the scratching of cats. Dhyan, over the years, has found the right places to apply these fingers (helped along by ample clues from myself such as purring loudly when she gets to the right spot.) She has become very good at scratching the places under my collar which are difficult to reach on my own and I have to admit that a good skritch up and down the back of the neck, around the ears, across the top of the head and under the chin is just about as good as you can get in life. I intend to keep her. Any cats reading this need not apply for a position in this house."
